Polycystic ovary syndrome is a type of disorder that occurs in women of reproductive age. This is called PCOS, which is caused due to disturbances in hormones. Periods become irregular due to PCOS and pimples also start appearing on the face. When the situation becomes serious, the hair also starts coming on the face of women.
When the balance of hormones related to reproduction in women gets disturbed, it is called PCOS. In fact, women with PCOS have very high levels of androgen, which is a male hormone. Also, there is a deficiency of the female hormone progesterone, due to which there is a problem with having periods for a long time.
What should be the diet in this?
PCOS is a problem, which is often discussed. Nutritionist Pooja Makhija took to her Instagram to explain how important protein intake is to manage PCOS. In his reels, he told how protein proves helpful.
1. Protein helps in controlling appetite. It stimulates hormones that help us reduce our cravings.
2. It also works to improve blood sugar levels. Protein digests slowly, so it affects blood sugar levels less.
3. It helps in reducing insulin response. Protein stimulates a hormone called glucagon, which prevents sudden drops in blood sugar levels and counteracts the action of insulin. If protein is taken in the right amount, it can help people suffering from PCOS.
