Nutritionist Recommends The Integrated Approach To Deal With PCOS

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, is a common hormonal disorder that affects many women during their reproductive years. It can cause things like irregular periods, extra hair growth, acne, weight gain, and trouble with fertility. While lifestyle changes like eating well and staying active help, nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee has shared a cool tip on managing PCOS with an integrated approach. She has posted a detailed video about it on Instagram.

Anjali Mukerjee, in her caption, writes, “When stress, high androgens, and insulin resistance collide, PCOS becomes a reality.” She shares that even young girls nowadays are contracting the ailment, leading to “infertility, delayed periods, acne, and hair fall.”

She claims that “there's a way out”. 

Anjali Mukerjee's integrated approach is the solution to all these PCOS-related problems. “Balancing nutrition, homeopathy, and lifestyle changes manages PCOS from the root,” assures the health expert. She emphasises the importance of consuming a “high-fiber, antioxidant-rich diet”, coupled with “hormone-balancing supplements and personalised care” for better results.

According to Anjali Mukerjee, the foods that are to be eaten must be rich in carbohydrates, fiber, protein and antioxidants. “Once you do a combination of all this, along with exercise, you can manage your PCOS very very effectively,” she asserts.
