PCOS / PCOD

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS is a condition in which a woman’s hormones are out of balance and can lead to problems with periods, also making it difficult to get pregnant. This condition can lead to growth of small cysts on ovaries & poses serious health risks including diabetes and heart diseases.

PCOS is basically a metabolic syndrome, and the main thing that a woman who is suffering from PCOD/PCOS can do to help her cope with the problem, is to try losing weight and maintain a healthy diet to help her manage and maintain that weight loss.

For anyone suffering from PCOD/PCOS, vitamins and minerals are of the utmost importance and are something that should, without a second thought, be included in the diet. It has been found, through many a research, that there is a direct co-relation between vitamin deficiency and the increase in PCOS/PCOD symptoms.

The importance of a healthy and balanced diet filled with vitamins and minerals cannot be emphasised enough in such a situation. A few nutrients in particular like:

• Vitamin D
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin B (including B2, B3, B5, B6)
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Sodium

and the likes, are extremely important for a person suffering from PCOD/PCOS.

The kind of nutrients that are needed by women suffering from PCOD/PCOS can easily be found in their foods, if only they are able to follow the right diet for them. Treat your PCOS condition right, ask FFM how, and bless yourself with a long and healthy life.
