PCOS has become very common among the urban woman today – it is in many ways the curse of the lifestyle we have become accustomed to. The good news is that a lot of women have started asking the right questions.

Why do I have to learn to live with PCOS? How do I overcome it? What are the lifestyle changes that I need to make?

These questions are very important because PCOS affects both the body and mind of a woman. There is a good chance that the person can face side-effects like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Irrespective of what people have to say about PCOS, it can be managed and here are a few ways in which you can do it.

 

1.Eliminate/Reduce Processed Foods

Whether it is pasta or a bottle of sauce or anything else you might eat out of a package – try to stay away! These processed foods apart from being unhealthy for you contain a whole lot of sugar and salt that will only pose a hurdle!

 

2.Include Supplements

 

In an ideal world, you would not need any supplements to keep you healthy. However, you do not get the nutrients you need from the food you eat and hence it is important to consult with a physician and see if you would have to include any supplements as part of your diet.

 

3.Pick an exercise routine

To manage PCOs, including exercise in your routine is non-negotiable. Ensure that you get at least 60 minutes of activity on a daily basis to keep yourself fit. This will help regulate your mood and can reduce the risk of any ill effects that PCOS may cause.

 

4.Consult a Doctor

While lifestyle changes are a huge part of fighting PCOs, don’t look down on the importance of consulting with a physician who can give you a solid plan to manage this disorder.

 

While PCOS is becoming quite common and widespread, it is no reason to take it lightly. Ensure you make the necessary changes to stay fit and healthy!
