35 % Of Indian Women suffer from PCOS

Do you know that nearly 35% of Indian women suffer from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)? When a woman's hormonal balance is destroyed she suffers not only from infertility but also have weight gain, acne, hair loss or even excessive hair growth. She may also be easily prone to Insulin Resistance, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and heart disease.

If you are a PCOS patient next to taking medications you also need to watch what you eat in order to prevent unwanted weight gain and resultant problems. But how will you know what to eat and what not to? That's what we are here for! Here are a few healthy diet tips for PCOS patients to follow.

1# A big yes to healthy fats. Olive oil, coconut oil and ghee can be used in moderation. Unsaturated oils like flaxseed oil, olive oil, macadamia oils and walnut oil are great. Enjoy stir fried vegetables and fresh salads in these oils. Also take Omega 3 fish oils.

2# No to refined and starchy carbs. Reduce white flour, bread, pasta etc. Cut down potatoes and sugars. Since research says that higher intake of whole grains may reduce insulin sensitivity, cut down on whole grains a bit. Women with irregular periods are advised 40% carbs while those with regular periods may limit it within 50%. Take non starchy vegetables, fruits with more of berries. Fruits should always be accompanied by proteins!

3# Eggs, nuts, and lean meat (fish and chicken) will ensure healthy proteins. Dairy products should be limited.

 4# Low glycemic foods like soya, linseed, green peas, carrots, eggplant, broccoli, beans, cauliflower, lettuce, mushrooms, sweet corns, sweet potatoes, lentils are advised.

5# And, finally, the mantra,"drink more water". Water regulates your hormonal levels by eliminating the excess hormones.

Keep in mind that according to experts losing even 5% of the body weight will be helpful to PCOS patients.

[www.keralites.net] GREEN TEA FOR WEIGHT LOSS

 

GREEN TEA FOR WEIGHT LOSS
 

If weight loss is one of your top health goals, green teamay help. Some studies show that substances in green tea may offer several weight-loss-promoting effects, such as speeding up your metabolism and suppressing your appetite. Although the antioxidant-rich brew won't help you shed pounds on its own, there's some evidence that drinking green tea may support your weight loss efforts.

How Might Green Tea Promote Weight Loss? Green tea contains caffeine, which is known to increase thermogenesis (a biological process involved in burning calories). In a 2007 report from the American Journal of Physiology: Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, scientists state that green tea may fight the decrease in metabolism that typically accompanies weight loss. According to the report's authors, green tea may also inhibit the effects of catechol-O-methyltransferase (an enzyme known to trigger the breakdown of brain chemicals involved in regulating appetite).

Certain antioxidants found in green tea seem to have a "small positive effect" on weight loss and weight maintenance, according to a report published in the International Journal of Obesity in 2009. In their analysis of 11 studies on green tea and weight loss or weight maintenance, researchers found that green tea antioxidants known as catechins may help increase metabolism.

Still, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) caution that there isn't enough scientific evidence to determine whether green tea is effective for weight loss. However, epigallocatechin gallate (a catechin found in green tea) may help moderately overweight people lose weight, according to the NIH.

Caveats

While green tea is likely safe for most adults, drinking more than five cups a day may lead to caffeine-related side effects (such as headache, nervousness, sleep problems, and irregular heartbeat). The caffeine in green tea may also aggravate some health conditions, including anxiety, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Using Green Tea

 For most adults, moderately increasing green tea intake may yield some weight loss benefits without causing negative health effects. But in order to experience significant weight loss, it's important to combine a healthy diet with regular exercise (including at least two and a half hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and two strength-training sessions per week). If you're considering the use of green tea supplements (or any other natural weight loss aid), make sure to consult your physician before beginning treatment.
