Optimizing Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOD) Treatment with Personalized Lifestyle and Nutrition Strategies

Abstract

Introduction: Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOD) is a prevalent endocrine illness in women of reproductive age. It has hormonal abnormalities, irregular menstrual cycles and tiny ovarian cysts. Lifestyle and food affect PCOD development and maintenance, coupled with medical therapies. Lifestyle, diet and PCOD are interconnected in this thorough assessment. Methodology: The evaluation comprises PCOD, lifestyle, diet, exercise, stress management and nutrition research published between January 1, 2000 and May 1, 2023. Result: PCOS management requires lifestyle changes including frequent exercise, a healthy weight, nutritious diet and no cigarettes. While lifestyle modifications cannot substitute medical care, they improve well-being. Low-GI, ketogenic and omega-3 fatty acid diets may reduce insulin resistance and PCOS symptoms. Eating no Saturated Fats (SFAs) is also important. Exercise improves insulin sensitivity, but high-intensity sessions improve cardiorespiratory fitness, insulin resistance and body composition more. We propose intense aerobic and strength training. PCOS might worsen insulin resistance due to sleep disruptions. Getting enough sleep is important for metabolism. PCOS sufferers may have reduced melatonin, which regulates the body’s 24-hour schedule, underlining the significance of sleep. Vitamin D, inositol, folate, B-group vitamins, vitamin K and vitamin E may improve insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance. Vitamins including bioflavonoids, carnitine and alpha-lipoic acid and minerals like chromium picolinate, calcium, magnesium, selenium and zinc may also help PCOS sufferers. More study is required to prove their effectiveness. Conclusion: PCOD is complicated and needs comprehensive treatment. Lifestyle, food and medical therapies should be combined for best outcomes. Healthcare practitioners and PCOD patients must collaborate to create tailored lifestyle, diet and supplement recommendations. Improve these remedies for the PCOD community with further study.
