Ovarian Cysts Prevention: A Powerful Way

By Mary Parker

Hardly there is anything that can be done to prevent ovarian cysts. There are actually some experts who are of the opinion that one way of stopping the cysts is by stopping ovulation. It is because of this that some experts say that birth control pills can achieve ovarian cysts prevention.

But cystic gurus often themselves differ in their opinion since another team of experts believe that stopping of ovulation may lead to PCOS and the formation of multiple cysts, complicating the picture more. There is considerable doubt on whether these recommendations and studies are completely true or not, but one thing is sure and this is that, the contributing factors need to be considered while finding an answer. So remember the factors that lead to ovarian cysts, and opt for the holistic approach, and ovarian cysts prevention can become a reality.

But whether these studies give us the complete picture or not, what is important is that all problems have to be tackled while keeping the causes in mind. Similarly, in the case of ovarian cysts, one has to try to figure out what causes their occurrence in women. This is precisely where the Holistic Approach could be utilized for the prevention of ovarian cysts.

That generic factors and dietary habits contribute to a woman contracting ovarian cysts is known. It is also known that they can be caused by toxins which have gathered in the digestive tract or an immune system that has been weakened, insulin resistance and even obesity.

To be honest about it, some of the routines prescribed for practicing holistic remedies are so simple and effective that they may be described here for the reader to appreciate their intrinsic value. These include consuming vegetables, particularly in the raw form, barring those that are highly starchy; minimizing intake of soy and dairy products (there are those who will tell you that such items need to be completely removed from the menu - but it is advisable to consult the doctor first); eating organic food, preferably from the source; no tinned or preserved foodstuff; try having as much fresh water fish and lean meat as possible; freshly made fruits juice; no spicy food or restaurant food; undergoing occasional 'detox' therapy and plenty of exercise in the form of brisk walking. No surgery and no inject able fluids, IM or IV.

We give below some ways in which you can start practicing for the prevention of ovarian cysts:

Eat a lot of raw vegetables, but do not include vegetables which have high starch content in your diet.

Try to cut down on your intake of dairy products and products that contain soy. In fact, some extreme views suggest their complete exclusion from the diet. Consult with your doctor before starting on a new diet plan or making any significant changes to your existing one.

Eat the best foods as this reduces the chance of malignant cysts greatly. Organic meat, fruits, vegetables and food are good. Lean grass fed meat and fresh water fish should be eaten in good quantities. Freshly made fruit juice can also help. Packed and tinned food items should be avoided as they have preservatives that can lead to cyst formation.

Drawing on the belief of "A Healthy Mind In A Healthy Body", the holistic approach strongly recommends regular exercise to stay fit and healthy, and in the process, significantly reduce the risk of getting ovarian cysts.

Go for detox therapy from time to time to remove the body toxins.

Take a check as often as you can to ensure that you have not been beset with the ovarian cyst syndrome, especially if someone in the family has suffered from this problem in the past. Consult your gynecologist as to how frequently this check should be done. As you well know, genetics forms one of the most obvious causes of ovarian cysts, so if anyone in your family has suffered from this, you have a higher chance of developing this condition. Take frequent checks therefore and, even if you are unable to prevent it, you can at least tackle it at an early stage.

Balance in the life and a healthy lifestyle is what is needed because this is the best way to prevent ovarian cysts. Meet a dietician and get a good diet plan and also plan a fitness regime by meeting the trainer. What you are doing to achieve ovarian cyst prevention is very important. Medicines might not always be effective, but they may lead to a more serious cyst formation and there may also be side effects. So, planning a natural regime and maintaining a lifestyle that is balanced is always a better option. The holistic approach is all about this. - 15275
