📢Inflammation is not just side effect of PCOS rather a central factor in the condition. And women with PCOS should address this key issue as part of healing process.

👉Now don’t get me wrong since Inflammation has a purpose within our bodies, when our body detects a virus, bacteria, injury, infection etc our immune system responds by launching certain inflammatory cells it’s basically our body’s way of protecting itself.

👉However what we don’t want is to have inflammation all of the time since chronic inflammation in our bodies can damage our egg quality, intestinal health, cells, premature ageing, anxiety and so on.

⭐There are way through which we can mitigate or basically lower inflammation in the body:

➡The first step would be dealing with insulin resistance since it promotes inflammation and vice versa.

➡Anti inflammatory diet like lots of vegetables, healthy fats and protein and healing the gut is crucial so it’s worth eliminating gluten which triggers intestinal inflammation.

➡Eating anti inflammatory diet in conjunction with supplements like omega 3 fatty acids, curcumin, vitamin D also expedites the healing process.
