PCOD Program

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a condition where the ovaries release many immature or partially mature eggs, which eventually turn into cysts. PCOD treatment & PCOD diet focus on minimizing the severity of symptoms.

What Causes PCOD?
The ovaries normally produce female sex hormones and a small amount of male sex hormones (androgens). These help in the proper development of eggs in the ovaries during each menstrual cycle.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is connected to an imbalance in these sex hormones. PCOD causes production of more androgens. Patients stop ovulating, develop acne, and develop excess facial and body hair due to this.

The food items that must be included in PCOD are:
-Foods that are unrefined and natural
-Fishes with high Omega fatty acids , such as salmon, tuna, sardines, and mackerel
-Leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach, broccoli
-Dark red fruit like crimson grapes, blueberries, blackberries, and cherries
-Healthy fats like olive oil, avocados, and coconuts and nuts, such as pine nuts, walnuts, almonds, and pistachios
-Spices, such as turmeric and cinnamon
-Dark chocolate in moderation
