Apples are low in glycemic index (GI) which is good for insulin sensitivity. They also have lower LDL cholesterol which is bad for the heart. PCOS patients often are at risk for heart disease and hence eating apples are good for women who have PCOS.
12/14Gluten
Gluten is a hormone disruptor that interferes with the functioning of the endocrine or hormone system. They could mimic hormones, causing our bodies to over or under respond or release hormones at the wrong time. Hence, if you have PCOS, it is best to avoid consuming glutenous food items.
13/14Dairy
Dairy, much like gluten, can be inflammatory in nature and so it is best to avoid products that can cause you to be lactose intolerant. However, butter may actually be good for you as a source of healthy fat, so you don’t need to avoid it if you don’t feel bloated after eating it.
14/14Soy
Research shows that soy can affect the thyroid function and ovulation. It also contains compounds that interfere with the normal functioning of oestrogen which can affect your normal menstrual cycle and thus your PCOS.
Girls, we hope you gave this a good read...
