PCOS cure- Economical, Effective and Easy



PCOS is a common problem that is faced by most of the women these days. In simple English, PCOS is ovarian disease that is caused due to hormonal abnormalities. Surprisingly around 90% women suffer from this problem and most of them are not even aware of it. So if you notice symptoms like obesity, acne, unwanted hair on skin or menstrual irregularities, then please go and see a doctor.

There is no cure for PCOS, it can only be managed and controlled by regular exercise and balanced diet. PCOS is the result of hormonal imbalance, so most of the doctors prescribe contraceptive pills. Contraceptive pills on one hand do control hormonal imbalance but also have a number of side effects.

The side effects of the medicines are permanent and affect the body in the long term. After a lot of research I found that there are natural remedies which are easy and really effective. You just have to remember few things which are mentioned below.

1)      Keep a watch on:
-          Your weight- The first thing you have to do is to reduce that extra pound which is one of the real causes of this problem. Even if you are not overweight you are advised to work out on regular basis.
-          Food Habit- Insulin resistance is another major factor which leads to PCOS and later can cause bacterial infections and diabetes. Try eating more fruits and vegetables rich in fiber, and avoid artificial sugar.
-          Maintain a routine- Lifestyle modification is must to cure PCOS. Have a healthy lifestyle. Eat protein rich food in small portions.

2)      Avoid:
-          Alcohol
-          Coffee
-          Sugary food and refined carbs
-          Diary and animal products- Reduce the intake if you cannot avoid them as the hormones secreted by animals play havoc in your body
-          Processed food

3)      Natural Intakes: Natural herbs have shown amazing effects without any side effect. Some of the herbs that are easily available and also easy on your pockets are given below:

-          Carrot and Carrot seeds- Carrot seeds are more effective. 1 teaspoon daily will show you results in a month
-          Cinnamon- Improves insulin sensitivity
-          Fenugreek seeds- Amino acid in these seeds are helpful in controlling blood sugar level
-          Basil- They are rich in antioxidants therefore helps in preventing stress

Apart from these, include turmeric, nutmeg, ginger, garlic, fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.

4)      Meditation and Yoga: According to the studies, our body reacts in number of ways when we are under stress. Excess hormonal secretion is one of the results which show effect in the long term and one of such effect is PCOS in women. Meditation and Yoga are the best stress relievers which show permanent results.

-          Practice those yoga postures that open and stretch the pelvis portion of the body as it will improve blood circulation and also regulate metabolism.
-          Practicing meditation and breathing exercises will relax your body thereby relieving you from stress.

The above tried methods have shown great results. Popping pills is easier than to live a disciplined life, but thinking of the long term will help you to take the right decision. A little effort on your part will free you from ill health. Say no to pills and lead a healthy life.
