Polycystic ovary syndrome is a condition that causes hormonal imbalances and problems with metabolism.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common health condition experienced by one out of 10 women of childbearing age. PCOS can also lead to other serious health challenges, such as diabetes, cardiovascular problems, depression, and increased risk of endometrial cancer.
Some research has shown that diet can help reduce the impact of PCOS. Learn more about a PCOS diet in this article.
How does diet affect PCOS?
Share on PinterestA diet that includes high-fiber foods may benefit people with PCOS.
Two of the primary ways that diet affects PCOS are weight management and insulin production and resistance.
However, insulin plays a significant role in PCOS, so managing insulin levels with a PCOS diet is one of the best steps people can take to manage the condition.
Many people with PCOS have insulin resistance. In fact, more than 50 percent of those with PCOS develop diabetes or pre-diabetes before the age of 40. Diabetes is directly related to how the body processes insulin.
Following a diet that meets a person’s nutritional needs, maintains a healthy weight, and promotes good insulin levels can help people with PCOS feel better.
Foods to eat
Research has found that what people eat has a significant effect on PCOS. That said, there is currently no standard diet for PCOS.
However, there is widespread agreement about which foods are beneficial and seem to help people manage their condition, and which foods to avoid.
Three diets that may help people with PCOS manage their symptoms are:
A low glycemic index (GI) diet: The body digests foods with a low GI more slowly, meaning they do not cause insulin levels to rise as much or as quickly as other foods, such as some carbohydrates. Foods in a low GI diet include whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits, starchy vegetables, and other unprocessed, low-carbohydrate foods.
An anti-inflammatory diet: Anti-inflammatory foods, such as berries, fatty fish, leafy greens, and extra virgin olive oil, may reduce inflammation-related symptoms, such as fatigue.
The DASH diet: Doctors often recommend the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet to reduce the risk or impact of heart disease. It may also help manage PCOS symptoms. A DASH diet is rich in fish, poultry, fruits, vegetables whole grain, and low-fat dairy produce. The diet discourages foods that are high in saturated fat and sugar.
A 2015 study found that obese women who followed a specially-designed DASH diet for 8 weeks saw a reduction in insulin resistance and belly fat compared to those that did not follow the same diet.
A healthful PCOS diet can also include the following foods:
natural, unprocessed foods
high-fiber foods
fatty fish, including salmon, tuna, sardines, and mackerel
kale, spinach, and other dark, leafy greens
dark red fruits, such as red grapes, bkueberries, blackberries, and cherries
broccoli and cauliflower
dried beans, lentils, and other legumes
healthful fats, such as olive oil, as well as avocados and coconuts
nuts, including pine nuts, walnuts, almonds, and pistachios
dark chocolate in moderation
spices, such as turmeric and cinnamon
Avoid
Refined carbohydrates, such as mass-produced pastries and white bread
Fried foods, such as fast food.
Sugary beverages, such as sodas and energy drinks.
Processed meats, such as hot dogs, sausages,
Solid fats, including margarine, shortening,
Excess red meat
check with your dietary lifestyles and do eat your medicines
thank you
