Consider adding soy products on your meal plans. 🌱
Soy mimics estrogen in the body. If you have PCOS, this may help balance your hormones. However, there is evidence that adding soy to your diet may disrupt your endocrine system.
Soy products should be avoided by people who have a family history of estrogen-related cancers, such as some breast cancers. Consider soy milk, miso, tofu and tempeh if your doctor has approved the addition of soy to your diet.
So before incorporating more soy into your diet, consult your doctor about the most recent research.

"To improve hormone levels, eat big hearty meals." 🍽️☀️
Another issue to consider is how to distribute your calories throughout the day. Many people save dinner for last, but the adage "eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen, and dinner like a pauper" may become your mantra.
A study was made where one groupd ate a 980-calorie breakfast (and low calorie dinner) while the other ate a 190-calorie breakfast (higher calorie dinner). According to the study, it shows that after 90 days, testosterone levels in the big-breakfast group dropped by half and they were more likely to ovulate, whereas testosterone levels in the dinner group remained unchanged. Thus, eating earlier in the day likely improved insulin sensitivity and decreased androgen levels.

Concentrate on Omega-3 Fatty Acid Foods. 🐟
These fatty acids, found in oily fish such as salmon and sardines, as well as vegetarian sources such as chia seeds, have long been touted as heart-healthy and anti-inflammatory.
In one study on PCOS, taking omega-3 supplements for eight weeks reduced blood levels of testosterone (a male hormone) compared to taking a placebo. Furthermore, 47 percent of the omega-3 group returned to regular menstrual cycles, compared to 23 percent of the placebo group. The researchers note that omega-3 fatty acids help regulate luteinizing hormone levels, an ovarian-stimulating hormone that influences testosterone secretion. Of course, these women were supplementing their diets (3 grams of omega-3s per day).
A 3-ounce serving of salmon will provide at least half of that, but if you're not a big fish eater, you might want to consider taking a supplement to get the amount you need. Please always consult your doctor before taking any supplements. 👨⚕️

Give the DASH Diet a try to manage your PCOS Symptoms. 🥗
To reduce the risk or impact of heart disease, doctors frequently recommend the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet. It may also aid in the management of PCOS symptoms. A DASH diet includes plenty of fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. The diet discourages the consumption of foods high in saturated fat and sugar.

Boost your energy levels with decaffeinated drinks like herbal tea. 🍵
When you have PCOS, tea is a great addition to your drink rotation. Green tea and spearmint tea have both been shown in studies to have a positive effect on PCOS symptoms, including hirsutism. The probiotic properties of kombucha may also be beneficial.
If you can't live without your caffeine fix, then green tea is for you. Insulin resistance has been shown to be improved by drinking green tea. It can also aid in weight management in PCOS women.

Include Magnesium-rich foods in your meal plans.
Having adequate magnesium levels provides numerous benefits. Magnesium has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation, improve sleep quality, and alleviate PMS symptoms. The most important benefits of magnesium for women with PCOS may be its ability to reduce blood pressure and insulin.
PCOS friendly foods such as cashews, almonds, bananas and spinach are rich in magnesium.

Make sure to increate your iron intake. 💪
During their period, some women with PCOS experience heavy bleeding. This can lead to anemia or iron deficiency. If you've been diagnosed with either condition, talk to your doctor about how you can increase your iron intake. They may advise you to include iron-rich foods like spinach, eggs, and broccoli in your diet.
Too much iron may also put you at risk. So make sure that you consult with your doctor first before increasng your iron consumption. 👩⚕️
