One of the best ways to deal with PCOS is to have a healthy diet and do regular exercise. Many women with PCOS are overweight or obese. Dropping just 5% to 10% of your body weight help to ease some symptoms and help make your periods more regular. It also helps to manage ovulation problems.Weight loss is a key first step if you’re planning a pregnancy. It improves your ability to get pregnant by restoring ovulation.

Since PCOS leads to high blood sugar, your doctor may want you to limit starchy or sugary foods. Instead, eat foods and meals that have plenty of fibre, which raise your blood sugar level slowly. Staying active helps you control your blood sugar and insulin too. And exercising everyday will help you with your weight.

In short, eating wisely, being physically active, sleeping well, and managing your stress can help reverse the hormone imbalances at the centre of polycystic ovary syndrome and the symptoms those hormone changes cause. And that’s not all. Nurturing your health with smart daily choices also helps protect againstmajor health risks for women with PCOS. No wonder modifying your meals and establishing a workout routine to help you safely and wisely lose even a little body fat is the top, “do this first” recommendation!
