Uterine fibroids

<h1>Uterine fibroids</h1>Author: <a title="Yulia Berry" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/yulia-berry/14004.htm">Yulia Berry</a> Uterine fibroids are benign abnormal growths that are found in the uterus. Their presence has been linked strongly to gastrointestinal health and issues such as leaky gut syndrome, yeast, intestinal bacteria growth, and inflammation of the gut can have an indirect impact on abnormal growths, excess estrogen, and dysfunction of the immune system. One of the keys to treating uterine fibroids is to heal the gastrointestinal system.  Toxic heavy metals have also been linked to abnormal bacterial growth in the gut along with the breakdown of mucosal lining in the intestines, making the evaluation of metal toxicity levels another important issue to consider. The liver also plays an important role in fibroid development and liver detoxification is another important issue to tackle. The liver is the place where estrogen metabolism occurs and the liver helps filter out chemicals that act like estrogen which are known as xenoestrogens. If your liver detox system is impaired, this can lead to a problem of estrogen dominance in your system which can lead to these fibroid growths. Insulin resistance is another problem which may lead to <a href="http://www.greathomeremedies.com/fibroids.html">uterine fibroids</a>. This happens when your cells lose the ability to communicate with the insulin hormone resulting in abnormal blood sugar.  These blood sugar fluctuations result in fibroid formation. Signs of insulin resistance are increased fat build up in the abdomen, a sense of fatigue after eating, craving sugar, mood swings, trouble sleeping, and <a href="http://www.greathomeremedies.com/immunesystem.html">a suppressed immune system</a>. Exercise can help  your cells readjust so that they can once again interact with insulin allowing blood sugar to be suttled between the cells, Core strengthening and stress reducing exercises are ideal for insulin resistance as well as fibroid preventions. Yoga and Tai Chi are excellent examples of these.
