8 POWER FOODS TO ADD TO YOUR DIET IF YOU HAVE PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive condition that affects 1 in 10 American women. It causes a whole host of painful and frustrating symptoms and, as of yet, has no cure. As a result, some professionals are turning to the healing power of food to provide symptom relief. Melissa Azzaro, an integrative registered dietitian, is one of those people.
Azzaro published a new book last month, A Balanced Approach to PCOS, which includes recommendations and recipes to help women include more of what she calls “PCOS Power Foods” to their diets. These foods are linked to health benefits like reducing inflammation, promoting hormone balance, and stabilizing blood sugar, which are known to help alleviate PCOS symptoms. We asked Azzaro to share some of her favorite “PCOS Power Foods” with us and give us some tips on the best way to sneak them into a daily routine.
