A healthy diet and regular exercise are beneficial in managing PCOS and reducing its associated metabolic and cardiovascular complications.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is basically a menstrual disorder, with associated physiological problems. This review article shows the benefits of a good diet and exercise in their daily routine. Doing so can be beneficial in reducing the intensity of PCOS and the related complications, like Insulin Resistance leading to Diabetes, Obesity, Hirsutism, Alopecia, and Cardiovascular diseases. This is one of the best examples of “You Are What You Eat”, as healthier the diet is, the better it is in dealing with this complex condition. It is necessary that the women know the alternatives to deal with this condition, than opting for various hormonal treatment, as they can cause adverse effects too. It must be kept in mind that the age group varies, as it can begin after menarche and gradually increase, or also begin later in life, depending upon the lifestyle of women. In younger women with PCOS, nutritional therapy is better than HRT, as they are still growing, and it may affect the normal development.
