PCOS and Vegetarians: Four Essential Nutrition Tips

Are you a woman suffering from the condition known as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)? If so, you may know already that the condition is reversible – only if you are willing to undertake certain healthier lifestyle modifications. This means changing what you eat and even altering some of your regular activities.

The reason for this has everything to do with the roots of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). The disease is caused by something called Insulin Resistance, which robs the body of its ability to properly utilize glucose from the blood stream. The body tries to counterbalance a perceived lack of insulin by creating excess hormones. This results in an imbalance that can lead to anything from infertility to obesity, from male pattern baldness to a diminished sex drive.

The happy news is that Insulin Resistance can be reversed through natural, healthy methods–but of course, it’s going to involve some changes to your lifestyle, something that might be particularly complicated for vegetarians.

 

Four Essential Tips for Vegetarians

 If you’re a vegetarian and you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), don’t lose heart; just remember these crucial tips:

  • Getting some lean protein with every meal is absolutely imperative for reversing Insulin Resistance and losing weight, and this is especially difficult for vegetarians. Make it a top priority!
  • Don’t assume that just because you are not eating fatty meats that everything else you’re eating is okay; in particular, try to avoid any grains other than whole grains, as well as any refined sugars.
  • That said you’re going to need a moderate amount of carbohydrates. Try simple grains, such as brown rice.
  • Finally, don’t forget that nutrition alone is not going to help you curb the effects of PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). Try also adding some exercise to your daily routine!

 

Hard, but Healthy

 Of course, enacting all of these nutritional overhauls, and ensuring that you’re getting plenty of physical activity, is easier said than done. It takes a lot of commitment, whether you’re a vegetarian or not! However, it is well worth it. Insulin Resistance is a serious condition, and it can lead not just to polycystic ovaries, but also Diabetes, obesity, and Metabolic Syndrome. Diet and exercise are healthy and safe ways to reverse this condition, however–the natural way.

The other thing a women suffering Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) might do is to look into the Insulite Health all natural supplements that are available. In particular, the PCOS System offers hormone-balancing effects that have been scientifically calibrated to reverse the conditions of PCOS and Insulin Resistance. That means there is hope for women who properly educate themselves and take the precautions necessary to thwart the effects of the disease, including diet and exercise.
