The polycystic ovarian
syndrome (PCOS) is common
among women in the age group of 12 to 45 years and this
can even leave a woman infertile. It is actually quite
common as this hormonal disorder affects one in every
ten women all over the world. The condition is closely
related to heart diseases, diabetes, high blood
pressure, thyroid disorders, chronic inflammation,
asthma and other health problems.
Triggered with high insulin
levels in the body, a woman with PCOS tends to
gain weight and become obese. The condition is
controllable with regular exercising, proper sleep and
maintaining a balanced diet. It is important to shed
those extra pounds, if one wants to improve her
condition. Yes, PCOS
diets
count a lot in the improvement of a woman's health
condition.
An obese woman should try and
avoid the consumption of carbohydrates in the form of
bread, rice and sweets, as the sugar in these foods
increases the level of insulin in the body and makes the
person grow fat. Dates and honey are great alternatives
that you can try out if you have a sweet
tooth.
Are you suffering from PCOS
and are not obese? Well, if you are getting regular
periods, it is safe for you to consume 50-55% of
calories from fruits, vegetables and food grains, and
20-30% calories from egg whites, whole pulses and low
fat dairy products. In all cases, rich desserts, fried
food, red meat and other food with saturated and
trans-fats need to be avoided.
For PCOS
cure,
apart from maintaining a healthy diet, you should always
rely on holistic remedies. These remedies treat the root
cause of the condition and provide relief to the
patients, which the conventional medications fail to do.
Do remember that conventional cures just treat the
symptoms, and not the contributing factors, and so the
cyst often
returns.
