Role of Diet in Curing PCOD Problem

PCOD stands for polycystic ovarian disease and it is a health condition in women caused mainly due to hormonal imbalances. The condition is very common in childbearing women because hormonal imbalances are very prominent at this age. Though common, this condition affects periods, fertility, hormonal levels and appearance adversely, thus, quality of life also gets affected.

When a woman has irregular periods, there may be doubt of PCOD, but an ultrasound and blood work can only confirm this. If you are diagnosed with PCOD, a weight loss diet plan for PCOD only designed for you can be a boon for you.

Now what happens when you have PCOD? To answer this, let me discuss in simple terms the symptoms of PCOD.

Symptoms

Irregular or delayed menstrual periods

Formation of small cysts or non-cancerous (benign) growths in ovary

Excessive hair growth on the face, abdomen, and chest that is seen in 70% of PCOD cases

Thinning of scalp hair

Patches of velvety, thickened, darkened skin (acanthosis nigricans)

Acne that does not improve with the usual treatment

Oily skin caused by excessive androgens

Infertility

Difficulty in getting pregnant

Increased weight

One of my clients, a 21 years old woman, initially came to me for a weight-reducing diet plan. She said “When I was 19-years-old, I started gaining weight unexpectedly.” She was asked for any other things that she observed along with weight gain. Then she told further “I started observing hair on my chest area, under my chin, and hair growth on my upper lip became thicker and denser as well. I also noticed the hair on my scalp was thinning. And that was really distressing.” She doubted she had a thyroid problem. But I recommended her to see a gynecologist rather than assuming the things and as I suspected, the blood work and ultrasound showed polycystic ovaries.

So, things also happen in this way too. I also recommend my clients to know the root cause of the problem and you know what, this helps me make an accurate diet plan for you.

Role of Diet in PCOD!

If you are diagnosed with PCOD already, you will probably wonder what you could do now to fight this problem. The answer is – start to make some changes in your lifestyle, especially in your diet.  The women who eat a poor diet and have a sedentary lifestyle, are prone to PCOD. If not handled on time, PCOD can further lead to many metabolic and any other problems including high cholesterol, anxiety, hypertension, and depression, sleep disturbances, heart attacks, and endometrial cancer. It also affects the body’s ability to regulate insulin and thus has thetendency to cause diabetes.

The magic mantra to deal with PCOD weight is losing weight with a healthy and specific weight loss diet plan for PCOD. A healthy diet plan also helps in balancing your hormones. You need to avoid fatty processed foods having too much sugar and add fruits, protein, and antioxidants to your diet. Other than a weight loss diet plan for PCOD, you need to add daily exercise in your lifestyle.
