Eat Your Veggies to Reduce Endometriosis Risk

"Women may be able to lower their risk of endometriosis by eating more fresh fruit and green vegetables," a European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology study says. "But, eating red meat and ham appears to increase their risk."

By this logic, I should be one of the last people to have been plagued with endo, then. Since I've been a vegetarian for nearly 15 years and have had a diet strong in fresh veggies and fruit. Still, the recommendation is nothing but healthy, so following it certainly can't hurt, even if it ends up doing nothing for the endo. Bring on the leafy green vegetables!
