What foods are great for women with PCOS? This question is often not as simple as you’d expect.
Food is the foundational piece if you are to conquer your PCOS. The right choices – and the wrong ones – will impact your weight, your hormonal balance, whether you ovulate or not, how stressed you feel, how well you are and your future risk of life-threatening diseases. I can not emphasise this enough…
Today, I wanted to let you know some foods that can really help, and give you a gift.
Next time, I will divulge some of the foods that can stop your PCOS tracks DEAD in its tracks… So make sure you hit the RSS subscribe button so you don’t miss out on this critical information.
The first place to start when choosing the right foods is to select those as close to their natural forms as possible. Think fruit (not fruit juice), vegetables, fish, eggs, nuts.
Eating healthy protein (like fish, nuts, eggs, tempeh) with each meal, plus a.m. and p.m. snacks, can really help halt cravings and hunger, help maintain balanced blood sugar levels, and stop you from feeling like you are ‘on a diet’.
Let’s look at some other foods that are great for PCOS—and other health challenges…
Spices are great for adding flavour, but they also have potent PCOS-reversing properties. They are anti-inflammatory, alkalising and help to balance blood sugar levels (specifically cinnamon).
Flaxseeds provide essential healthy fats. This is CRITICAL. Often, fats are seen as fattening, but this can be the opposite of the truth, depending on the type of fat. Flaxseed can help improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and aid brain and body function.
What can I say about these foods?
Chock full of nutrients vital not only for overcoming PCOS but also for being well.
I often talk about different nutrients on this blog, in my book Conquer Your PCOS Naturally, on PCOSNaturallyTreatments.com and on my Facebook and Twitter pages. So, I wanted to give you a gift—something you can stick on your fridge door so whenever you have a question about which foods are high in which nutrients, you can easily find the answer.
