Nutrition Strategies for PCOS
PCOS affects many women of reproductive age with symptoms including irregular periods, weight gain, acne, and insulin resistance. Nutrition plays a crucial role in managing PCOS symptoms:
- Low Glycemic Index Foods: Incorporate whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits to stabilize blood sugar and reduce insulin spikes.
- Anti-Inflammatory Diet: Use turmeric, ginger, and other Indian spices with anti-inflammatory properties to help modulate hormonal imbalances.
- Balanced Macronutrients: Combine adequate proteins with healthy fats and fiber to enhance satiety and support hormone regulation.
- Weight Management: Even modest weight loss can improve menstrual regularity and reduce excess androgen levels.
Nutrition Strategies for Menopause
Menopause brings changes such as hot flashes, bone density loss, fatigue, and mood fluctuations. Nutrition supports symptom management and long-term health:
- Calcium and Vitamin D: Include dairy, fortified plant milks, leafy greens, and sunlight exposure to support bone health.
- Phytoestrogens: Foods like soy, flaxseeds, and chickpeas contain plant compounds that may ease menopausal symptoms.
- Hydration and Fiber: Crucial for digestion, skin health, and maintaining energy levels.
- Limiting Caffeine and Alcohol: To reduce hot flashes and improve sleep Quality
