Conquering PCOS: Lifestyle Changes for Hormonal Harmony
Story at-a-glance
- PCOS affects 6% to 20% of reproductive-age women, causing irregular periods, unwanted hair growth and fertility issues, but can be effectively managed through lifestyle changes
- Diet plays a key role in PCOS management, with low-glycemic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich foods helping to balance hormones and reduce insulin resistance
- Regular exercise, including both aerobic activity (60 minutes of walking daily) and strength training (30 to 60 minutes weekly), significantly improves insulin sensitivity and hormone balance
- Mental health support through counseling, mindfulness and education is essential, as PCOS affects both mind and body, often triggering stress or sadness
- Environmental toxins, particularly microplastics that act as xenoestrogens, contribute to hormonal imbalance in PCOS patients and should be avoided whenever possible
