polycystic ovary
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects the menstrual cycle of women and even its ability to bear children. Women with PCOS have missed or irregular periods, small cysts on the ovaries and high levels of male hormones, androgens. Giving attention to food can help relieve the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome and restore the health of the body.
Since PCOS is a metabolic disorder that is resistant to insulin, low carb / high protein diet works well for most women. The overall eating plan recommended for women who have PCOS is:
 • Reduce or eliminate sugar. White sugar wreaks havoc on every system in your body. Dispose of your diet. If you need a little sweetener from time to time, try raw honey, maple syrup or pure raw cane sugar. These sweeteners are still minerals and vitamins that are stripped and bleached white sugar.
 • Low carbohydrate. Try to reduce or eliminate starches and cereals. These foods increase the insulin levels in your body, leading to weight gain and other symptoms of insulin resistance.
 • Eat protein high quality and healthy fats. Grass-fed meats and eggs, dairy, and good healthy fats help your body to restore balance of essential fatty acids and proteins. The protein is a "Slow Burn" Food, for it gives energy for a period longer than carbohydrates.
 • Many vegetables. Dark-green leafy vegetables such as collards, kale kale, mustard, turnip greens and spinach give you a lot of magnesium and other minerals rich in nourishing vitamins to nourish your body.
 • herbal tonics. Drink a pint of Herbal Teas feed each day. Infusions restore lost minerals and vitamins in a form easy to assimilate. Of the right to choose grass are leaves of nettles, red raspberry leaf, red clover flowers, comfrey leaf and oat straw.
We PCOS still learning every day. Getting back to basics with a simple system that does not raise your insulin levels will restore health and vitality to your body. These are the foods of traditional foods that have worked for thousands of years cultures around the world.
