A Plant-Based Diet May Ease Endometriosis Symptoms

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects many people in the US, but is often underdiagnosed due to varying symptoms and gender bias in medicine. While medication and surgery are common treatments, some lifestyle changes, like following a plant-based diet, may help ease symptoms. Research suggests that reducing inflammatory foods and increasing intake of fiber, polyphenols, and certain vitamins like vitamin D, C, and E, may be beneficial for managing endometriosis. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before making any major lifestyle changes to manage the condition.
