PCOS, polycystic ovary syndrome, is a common problem faced by women. This hormonal condition causes the ovaries to expand by forming tiny cysts on their outer borders. Weight gain, irregular periods, balding, excessive body hair growth and acne are the most prevalent consequences of this disorder. In her latest Instagram post, nutritionist Lovneet Batra answers some frequently asked questions about PCOS. When asked about superfoods to include in your diet, Lovneet recommended cruciferous vegetables. The high fiber food items can help combat insulin resistance by slowing down digestion and reducing the effect of sugar on the blood, which is beneficial for people with PCOS.
A food item that is a complete no-no for PCOS patients is liquid sugar as it messes up your insulin metabolism. Lovneet suggests that one should add yoga, especially Bhadrakon Asana, in their workout routine in order to get relief from PCOS symptoms. It is an easy and simple asana that supports better health, relaxes your body and relieves menstrual discomfort and stress.

The fruit has antibacterial and sebum-regulating abilities that make it a valuable addition to your skincare regimen.
