"Nourishing your body with the right foods is the first step toward hormonal harmony and lasting health." – Dietician Sheela Seharawat
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that affects women’s hormone levels, leading to various symptoms like irregular periods, weight gain, and acne. However, with the right nutrition, you can manage PCOS effectively and achieve sustainable weight loss.
The key to managing PCOS lies in regulating your insulin levels. Foods that have a low glycemic index (GI) help stabilize blood sugar and prevent insulin spikes. Opt for whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and oats, which provide slow-releasing energy. Avoid processed foods and sugary snacks, as they can lead to inflammation and worsen hormonal imbalances.
Healthy fats, such as those found in avocados, nuts, and olive oil, are also beneficial for hormone regulation. Omega-3 fatty acids from sources like fatty fish or flaxseeds help reduce inflammation, improving your overall health and supporting weight loss.
Protein is essential for managing hunger and maintaining muscle mass. Incorporate lean proteins like chicken, tofu, legumes, and eggs into your meals to keep you feeling full longer and boost metabolism.
Don't forget fiber-rich foods! Vegetables, fruits, and legumes help with digestion and reduce insulin resistance, which is crucial for managing weight in women with PCOS.
Hydration is equally important. Drinking enough water aids in detoxification and supports overall hormonal function.
