Nollywood actress Ini Dima-Okojie has revealed that she is giving up bread, meat, and other foods to address the return of her fibroids. After initially having her fibroids removed in late 2020, Okojie is now taking a holistic approach to manage the condition without undergoing another surgery.
In a TikTok video posted on August 15, 2024, Okojie detailed her new diet, which excludes red meat, white carbohydrates, dairy, refined sugars, processed foods, carbonated drinks, caffeine, and high-sodium items. She explained that these changes are intended to reduce estrogen levels, which can contribute to fibroid growth.
Okojie expressed the emotional difficulty of facing the return of her fibroids but is committed to this dietary approach as a preventive measure.
