Women with PCOS typically have very high levels of insulin resistance that prevents stability in blood sugar levels. While weight reduction, medicines that treat diabetes and ovulation inducing medicines are common ways to treat PCOS, cinnamon is increasingly gaining popularity as a natural medicine for women plagued by PCOS.
Some of the adverse effects that insulin resistance has on normal menstrual cycle include:
- Deterioration of egg quality that prevents it from reaching optimum maturity.
- Miscarriages as the imbalance in hormones hinder the embryo from attaching to the uterus.
- Higher levels of insulin resistance are often an indication of Type 2 diabetes as well.
Cinnamon has properties that reduce insulin resistance and help glucose enter cells. Research findings have shown a steep shift toward regularity in menstrual periods of patients who consume cinnamon on a daily basis when compared to other PCOS patients. Besides, as an organic solution, it does not have the side effects that many other medicines tend to have.
Cinnamon supplements that maybe obtained as a concentrate of the aromatic spice is a great way to boost fertility. Water soluble compounds made from cinnamon have a great way of enhancing insulin activity. This property of cinnamon is found to be highly effective to treat Type 2 diabetes as well.
For those of you battling PCOS, having a teaspoon full of cinnamon powder with two tablespoons of honey is very beneficial. Another great idea is to add cinnamon in beverages like lemon juice or green tea. In fact, they are available as Ayurvedic juices as well.
PCOS can be treated effectively as long as you are willing to make wellness a priority. Exercise regularly and set small-term weight-loss goals. Avoid junk food and incorporate a wholesome diet. Maintain an ideal sleep-cycle.
Take care of yourself today, to be able to give your best to the little one tomorrow.
