7. Increase your iodine intake.
There is a change that a deficiency in iodine levels may lead to the development of fibroadenomas. Scientific research has found that when there are low levels of iodine within a woman’s body, the tissues within the breasts can become highly sensitive to estrogen. Since estrogen and the growth of these benign tumors have been linked, increase your iodine levels could help to reduce their size.
To up your iodine intake, eat plenty of foods that are rich in this vital nutrient. Excellent (and tasty) sources of iodine include strawberries, bananas, raisins, prunes, kelp, and green beans. If you prefer, you could try taking an iodine supplement. However, do be aware that you should watch the amount of iodine you are ingesting. Like anything, while iodine is good for you, too much can have adverse effects on your health, which is the last thing you want.
