PCOD and PCOS are increasingly common among young Indian women, often leading to weight gain, hormonal imbalance, acne, and irregular periods. While medications help, food is your first medicine.
Main Points:
- Avoid refined carbs and sugar; focus on low-GI foods like millets, oats, and legumes.
- Add anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, ginger, flaxseeds, and leafy greens.
- Prioritize protein and healthy fats to stabilize insulin levels.
- Maintain a consistent meal schedule—intermittent fasting may not suit everyone with PCOS.
- Stay hydrated and include herbs like cinnamon and spearmint tea.
Closing:
With a customized nutrition plan and sustainable lifestyle changes, you can balance your hormones naturally. Let food become your healing partner.
