A healthy diet is very important for hormonal balance in PCOS. A healthy diet and lifestyle can help you reverse its symptoms. At the same time, if you do not pay attention to your diet, are stressed about something, or your routine is not correct, then the symptoms of PCOS can increase.

However, if you drink it as advised by experts, it will not cause any harm. Dietitian Manpreet is giving information about this. Manpreet has done a Masters in Nutrition from Delhi University. She is a hormone and gut health coach.
