PCOS- Weight Gain

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="97%"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top">hey all,


many questions about PCOS...lets see what it is ???
Weight loss has been the major recommendation by physicians for women with PCOS. Lifestyle modifications including stress reduction, exercise, and group support, along with a decrease in total energy intake, have had positive results. A weight decrease of only 5% of total body weight is associated with decreased insulin levels, increased fertility, reduced hirsutism and acne, and lower free testosterone levels.

Sticking to a special diet is a very important aspect of PCOS care. Some women with PCOS find success by reducing their total intake of carbohydrates (cereals, breads, pastas) and choosing to eat different types of carbohydrates that are less processed (whole wheat, brown rice, beans). Replacing manufactured carbohydrate products with whole grains, fruits and vegetables can help to reduce your insulin response. The diet also should include enough protein to control the amount of sugar in the blood.

According to many studies, women with PCOS can improve their insulin resistance just with moderate activity. Even if you exercise and don't lose weight, you are still reaping very important health benefits. Exercise has been shown to improve use of insulin and can support dietary interventions to promote weight loss; it is important that the exercise program chosen is enjoyable for the PCOS woman.



Any more information is needed....


Thanks

பாலி சிஸ்டிக் ஓவரி”, என்று தெரிந்தால், செய்ய வேண்டியது எல்லாம், உணவில் நேரடி இனிப்புப் பண்டங்களைத் தவிர்ப்பதும், நார்ச்சத்து நிறைய உள்ள கீரைகள், லோ கிளைசிமிக் (Low Glycemic foods) உணவுகள் அதிகம் எடுத்துக் கொள்வதும் தான்.

இது தவிர பூண்டுக் குழம்பு, எள்ளுத் துவயல், கருப்புத் தொலி உளுந்து சாதமும் ஹார்மோன்களைச் சீராக்கி இந்த PCOD பிரச்சினையை தீர்க்க உதவிடும். சுடுசாதத்தில், வெந்தய பொடி 1 ஸ்பூன் அளவில் போட்டு மதிய உணவை எடுத்துக் கொள்வதும் நல்லது.
மாதவிடாய் வரும் சமயம் அதிக வயிற்று வலி உள்ள மகளிர் எனில் சோற்றுக் கற்றாழையின் மடலினுள் உள்ள, ஜெல்லி போன்ற பொருளை இளங்காலையில் இரண்டு மாதம் சாப்பிட்டு வரவேண்டும். சிறிய வெங்காயம் தினசரி 50கிராம் அளவாவது உணவில் சேர்ப்பதும் pcod பிரச்சினையை போக்கிட உதவும்.

more over you should take garlic gravy,Sesame seeds powder.urad dhal rice.hot boiled rice with fenugreek seeds powder and 50 grams of small onion.
