8 Whole Grains to Include in Your Diet If You Have Insulin Resistance & PCOS | Veera Health [HTOnrmc4C]

SAVE this reel for whole grains options to include to improve insulin resistance and PCOS! Around 70% of women with PCOS have insulin resistance which means your body’s cells become less sensitive to insulin and don’t allow the entry of glucose into the cells. This means your body doesn’t use insulin effectively to stabilise your glucose levels. As a result, the body produces more insulin and higher levels of insulin increase the production of testosterone, in the ovaries. One way to have stable blood sugar levels is to include low glycemic index (GI) foods that don’t raise your blood sugar as much and help reduce insulin resistance. Whole grains are a great source of complex carbs and fibre that help maintain blood glucose levels instead of spiking it. Avoid having refined flour or maida and stick to unprocessed and whole grain flours. Learning how to manage blood sugar levels can help reduce insulin resistance and the many symptoms of PCOS such as weight gain, cravings, fatigue and chronic inflammation.
