PCOS Management: Try these 4 simple mantras

For starters, she suggests regulating your meals by focusing on how much you eat during every meal. The ideal diet plan is to eat a big breakfast, small lunch, and a lighter dinner, she said.  "Include proteins like lentils, eggs, or meat in your everyday meal as they help to cut sugar cravings and improve ovarian functions," she suggested as another tip.

She also advised drinking a glass of vegetable juice every day as it is rich in several micronutrients that your body needs to help regulate hormones.  "Exercise regularly for at least an hour or so every day. An active body will keep you fit and healthy," she also said in the video.
