Nutrition Solutions for PCOS
Getting diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Symptom) can be difficult. It’s a hard disease to keep in check. Especially since there is no definite treatment for it. Recently there are PCOS medicines on the market which help to manage the symptoms.
However, having a proper diet and exercising are two fundamentals of PCOS that should never be overlooked. PCOS makes you vulnerable to heart diseases and diabetes. You are four times more likely to get diagnosed with diabetes if you have PCOS.
For most people, a low carbohydrate and high protein diet helps to manage their weight and improve their symptoms. While there are some foods that help to control PCOS and some you must avoid, no two bodies are the same. Consult an endocrinologist and nutritionist before you start a new diet.
PCOS dieting doesn’t have to be hard. There are many delicious foods that are beneficial. While the foods we should avoid can be tempting, we must not indulge in them. Having them once or twice a month is okay but regular consumption should be avoided.
