๐PCOS/ Irregular Menstruation๐
PCOS which stands for POLYCYSTIC O***Y SYNDROME is an endocrine disorder where the normal hormone cycle is interrupted. As the name suggests women with PCOS have poly (many) cysts present in the ovaries. PCOS presents itself with symptoms such as irregular or missing periods, weight gain, acne, excess or unwanted body hair or hair on the face.
It is a major cause for infertility among women and puts a woman at risk of insulin resistance which may affect blood sugar levels. In India nearly 40% of women are affected by PCOS. While weight loss and changes in lifestyle are usually the first modes of treatment, there are also certain foods that can help fight PCOS.
Barley boasts of being one of the lowest GI grains. Low GI means that on digestion it does not lead to a sudden glucose rush in the body and so does not cause release of insulin in large amounts by the pancreas, which helps in better glucose management and does not let the glucose get converted to fat easily, therefore preventing obesity. Low GI foods are digested slowly and they keep an individual fuller for a longer time, thereby helping them avoid hunger cravings
