9 Foods with Low GI Carbs to Include in Your PCOS Diet | Veera Health [PGAQop27Y]

If you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, you’ll be well aware of the importance of diet in managing your symptoms. But one advice you must've commonly heard is to include low glycemic index (GI) foods in all your meals. ⁣ ⁣ GI is a numerical value that is assigned to foods that measures how carbohydrates affect your blood glucose levels. It then ranks the quality of carbohydrates based on this score. The score ranges from 1 to 100. ⁣ ⁣ High GI carbohydrates cause blood sugar levels to spike, whereas low GI foods are digested and absorbed more slowly. This slow release of glucose into the bloodstream is shown to be much more beneficial for the body – especially while managing conditions such as 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 in the cells. This means your body doesn’t use the available insulin effectively to keep your glucose levels stable.⁣ ⁣ As a result, the body produces more insulin and higher levels of insulin increases the production of testosterone, in the ovaries. One way to have stable blood sugar levels is include low GI foods that don't raise your blood sugar as much and help reduce insulin resistance.⁣ ⁣ When you manage insulin resistance well, it can greatly improve the symptoms of PCOS!⁣ If you are ready to take control of your PCOS through a personalised science-backed program that actually works, book a free PCOS appointment with our PCOS experts today! https://bit.ly/3jNM2nB #pcos #pcosdiet #pcosweightloss #pcosawareness #pcosfood #trending #youtubeshorts #shorts #eating #food #foodstagram #whatieatinaday #dietplan #weightloss #periods #womenempowerment #pregnancy #fertility #momlife #exercise #workout #bodyweight #pcoscommunity #periodstruggles #periodblood #pcosinfertility #pcosdiet #womenempowerment #trending #trendingreels #reelsinstagram #bollywood #funny #workout #pcosweightloss #exercise
