๐๐๐๐ (๐ท๐ช๐ถ๐บ) is a common hormonal disorder that affects womenโs menstrual health, metabolism, and fertility. Because it is strongly linked to insulin resistance, daily food choices play an important role in managing its symptoms and long-term risks.
With rising rates of overweight and obesity among Filipino women, supporting metabolic health has become even more important. Research shows that balanced nutrition can help improve insulin sensitivity, regulate hormones, and reduce inflammation.
๐ This Valentineโs Day, show love not just to othersโbut also to your body by making self-care your sweetest gesture, starting with meals that nourish and support your hormonal health.
The good news? Nutrition is a key strategy in managing PCOS.
