Hello Lovelies!!!
As you already read in my previous blog that What is PCOS?, Who's at risk for PCOS?, What are the symptoms of PCOS?,Why should I worry about PCOS?
NEED TO READ: ALL ABOUT PCOS/PCOD
So, here are some tips to manage and alleviate your PCOS naturally-
1. FIRSTLY GET YOUR HORMONE AND INSULIN LEVELS CHECKED
Insulin is a hormone that regulates the workings of the body, converting glucose to energy and breaking down foods, especially carbohydrates. With PCOS it is highly important to make sure these are regulated, otherwise the excess insulin signals the ovaries to work overtime which secretes testosterone. This produces side effects such as increased hair growth, acne, weight gain, skin tags, fatty liver and high cholesterol, polycystic ovaries and an irregular menstrual cycle, not to mention increased hunger levels and cravings. Too much insulin in the blood stream makes the ovaries release more oestrogen, which can suppress ovulation.

2. EATING SMALL MEALS A DAY IS THE TONIC
This will keep the insulin on an agreeable level.Eat healthy fats- avocados, nuts, seeds, oils, oily fish – organic protein and eat plenty of green leafy veg and fruit. Cut out refined sugars, soy, caffeine and any stimulants. Replace with oats, quinoa, almond milk, coconut sugar/syrup, green tea and herbs teas and be sure to chew your food slowly and enjoy it.

3. TAKE THE CORRECT HERBS AND SUPPLEMENTS
It is very important with PCOS to take the right supplements to help aid the body’s process of elimination and also the workings of the organs. Some useful ones, if you would like to take them are: a multi vitamin and mineral, omegas, cod liver oil, chromium, magnesium, zinc, calcium and vitamin D. I believe in natural and organic foods so, try to take your minerals, vitamins through your diet aka simple ghar ka khana (home made food).

4. REDUCE YOUR STRESS AND TOXINS!
Stress plays a major part in most peoples’ lives these days, so always be sure to adapt your lifestyle where possible. Take time for yourself, be mindful, exercise, breathe, do yoga, eat well and organic where possible, hydrate and reduce toxins, smile and get lots of sleep.

5. MODERATION IS THE KEY
Life should be enjoyed and without too many restrictions, do everything in moderation. Don’t be under or over-weight, don’t over exercise, over eat, over work, over stress and overestimate the power of the body! Please don’t overdo the gym, 2/3 times a week is plenty. Yoga, Pilates, meditation and swimming are wonderfully gentle. Move your body every day and maintain a good healthy body weight.

6. KEEP THE MIND IN CHECK
Getting out the house every day for a brisk walk in the park is essential for keeping the mind in check, breathe in the air and fill your body with new positive energy. You will heal naturally, so be gentle on yourself and be kind to others. We were put on this earth with no medical intervention and are bodies are designed to heal themselves…lets make them do just that!

7. KEEP CALM AND SLEEP
The most efficient way to reduce stress levels is with sleep.  However, quality sleep is harder to come by for most women with PCOS. In a review published in Human Reproduction, researchers found that “sleep disturbances were twice as common in women with PCOS compared with those without,” and women with PCOS especially had difficulty falling asleep.
The good news for women with PCOS is that the sleep disturbances will most likely be cleared up by the diet and lifestyle adjustments suggested in this blog. However, if getting 7-9 hours of restful sleep is still an issue, and then meditation will help tremendously.
Hope you all understand well, so these are some simple lifestyle changing tips that can cure your PCOS naturally.

Carbohydrates  are important to fuel source for our body. Cells in our body rely on glucose to carry out their tasks. Nearly 45 to 65 % of our calories are made up of carbs.

Blog109: Importance of Sleeping in Darkness

Many children and even some adults see the darkness as something to fear. But when it comes to falling asleep, darkness is one of your most reliable allies. Darkness is essential for the body to fall asleep. In absence of light, the brain sends a signal to the body indicating that it is time to rest. When there is a light source present at the wrong time, the body’s circadian rhythm, a biological mechanism that regulates sleep-wake cycles, can be adversely affected, thereby disrupting both the quantity and quality of sleep.   Our brain produces a hormone called melatonin, which basically sends our body a ‘time to sleep’ signal after which the physiological groundwork for the sleep-cycle to take place. This includes feeling lethargic, muscle relaxation, and a drop in body temperature.
