If you’re living with PCOS, you know how inflammation can throw your hormones off balance. Over the years, I’ve seen how the right foods can truly make a difference.
• Sardines: Not everyone’s favourite, but they’re packed with anti-inflammatory Omega 3 fats alongside the lean protein, Vitamin D, calcium and B12. Nutritional powerhouses and even the tins of sardines are good.
• Dark chocolate: As well as reducing stress, dark chocolate is packed with magnesium, one of the minerals and antioxidants that turn 70% or more dark chocolate into a food that can help with insulin resistance, inflammation and mood.
• Kimchi: Probiotics for the gut that can help the body deal with inflammation as well as positively impact hormonal and metabolic factors. Making your own means you can control the spice level.
• Fresh fish: Lean protein and Omega-3 fats that can help regulate hormonal and metabolic imbalances that flare up with PCOS
• Greek yoghurt: Another probiotic-filled gut health food that also contains a great amount of protein that can help improve insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance. It’s also a natural source of iodine, which supports a healthy thyroid.
