PCOS and Weight Loss

Lately I have come across many of my weight loss clients whose main issue of weight gain was due to PCOS.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that causes irregular menstrual cycles due to a lack of monthly ovulation and increased levels of androgens (male harmones).The majority of PCOS women, but not all, are overweight or obese, and they are at higher-than-average risk of acquiring diabetes. PCOS-related hormonal abnormalities, insulin resistance, and inflammation make it difficult for women to lose weight.

However, even a minor 5 per cent weight loss can increase insulin resistance, hormone levels, menstrual cycles, fertility, and general wellbeing in PCOS women. This syndrome must be managed with care as they are approximately three times as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety and depression than people without PCOS.

A healthy diet goes a long way in influencing our body and those diagnosed with PCOS can take advantage of a healthy diet.Below are some of the changes I suggested and many of them turned out to be in positive direction

1. Increase intake of fibrous foods

2.Consume more Lean protien

3.Add more Antioxidants

4.Avoid Refined carbs and saturated fats

5.Reduce dairy consumption(Even some regular dairy can be replaced with Grass Fed )

Apart from changes in the diet, incorporating regular exercise is a well-known weight reduction method. PCOS can cause a woman's menstrual cycle to be disrupted and lead to increased weight gain. Losing weight can help with PCOS symptoms if lifestyle changes are implemented. When diagnosed with PCOS, nutrition and exercise are two efficient approaches to decrease weight.

Happy New Year:Steps for gaining Happiness and Longevity

A very warm welcome to all and wish you a Very Happy New Year.Hope you are in best state of your Health and Mind.This New Year I wanted to share the steps for gaining Happiness and Longevity. Here I will outline what I believe are the four pillars of optimal health — in other words, the four lifestyle factors you can manage to improve your health. These are all based on sound science, to the best of my knowledge. The four pillars are: nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress control. I will cover these four pillars here without going into too much detail. It goes without saying that if you smoke, drink excessively, or do drugs, then diet or exercise are the least of your worries. 1. Nutrition Optimal nutrition is all about eating real food, not processed crap. The problem is that most people have been misinformed about nutrition their entire lives, so they really have no idea what food is actually healthy. Disease-promoting foods that should be avoid...

Staying Healthy,Resilient & Relentless

During these unpredictable times, Weigh yourself! Your house is stocked with groceries, your gym is closed, you have a lot more time on the couch and near the fridge. Your activity level is probably down. Your snack/consumption is probably up. While everyone worries about the virus, many are also letting other parts of their health deteriorate and setting themselves up for other health issues. High levels of stress and anxiety can cause changes in your weight, and weaken your immune system. . Grow your resiliency during this time, not your waistline, not your blood pressure, and not your cholesterol. Watch what you eat and drink, and that doesn't mean watch food and drink go into your mouth. Some of you will gain weight. Some will lose. Most of us have broken out of our routines right now, which for many is not a bad thing. Use this time to develop new habits that you always wanted, but said you didn’t have time for. Stay healthy. Stay resilient. And stay relentless!

Frequent Power cuts:Buzz from twitter

Working on your important project work and suddenly the power cuts-off and you take it very lightly as you have become used to it.Be it a metropolitan like Delhi,Bangalore,kolkata or the smaller cities like Patna,Madurai,Hubli,Kota,Jaipur,Vizag or any major urban gatherings,these power-cuts are affecting our daily lifestyles in one way or another. Power failures are particularly critical at sites where the environment and public safety are at risk. Institutions such as hospitals, sewage treatment plants, mines, etc., will usually have backup power sources, such as standby generators, which will automatically start up when electrical power is lost.But such a huge amount of power outages are making bad examples of the the so called "efficient Power Management" in a developing country like INDIA. In 2008, the Indian government pledged to provide “power for all” by 2012. It’s already near mid 2011 and these power cuts remain to be a big problem.There can be no denials of th...
