I have pcod and I am taking medication for that but I want to reduce weight and my tummy. Can you please help me with the exercises and diet?

PCOS is a result of the body malfunctioning due to lifestyle. Once the lifestyle is corrected and back to track, the body gets back to normal too. Whether it was emotional stress or physical stress and wrong food choices, a sedentary lifestyle, they all help each other mess the body’s normal functioning. I believe that people who are disciplined can reverse it in a few months. But this is a lifestyle and not a diet. Cysts are growths in the body that store toxins in it. Cysts are at the hardening stage of a disease progression in the body. If those toxins were roaming freely, it would have caused more damage. It’s hence the way of locking those toxins and viruses in a sack. Once a healthy plant-based lifestyle is followed, they will melt and be thrown out of the body. Your weight will also come under control once you remove the causes that have caused this imbalance.

Follow this:-

Morning on an empty stomach:

Celery juice 500 ml filtered / ash gourd juice/cucumber juice/ green juice with any watery vegetables like ash gourd /cucumber/ridge gourd/bottle gourd/carrot/ beet with ginger and lime filtered/ tender coconut water or more pure veggie juice.

Afternoon from 12:-

• A bowl of fruits - don’t mix melons and other fruits. Eat melons alone. Eat citrus fruits. alone

• Followed by a bowl of veg. salad.

• Dinner 2-3 hrs. before sleep with Gluten-free, oil-free, unpolished grains or dals 30% and 70% veggies.

• Please take enema for 30 days with Luke warm water and then slowly reduce the frequency this is not a substitute for a daily nature call. Consult an expert as needed.,

• Include some exercises that involve moving all your parts (neck, shoulder, elbows, wrist, hip bending, twisting, squats, knees, and ankles). Join a gym and start weight training. Do yoga for flexibility. For your tummy, you must start abs related exercises to make your muscles stronger. Unless you work on the muscles, the fat won't melt. Things like crunches ( forward, criss-cross), boat pose ( partial and full), planks(sides and regular) have to be consistently done.

• See if u can go to the morning sun for sometime in a day for 30 mins at least..

• Ensure that you are asleep between 10 pm -2 am which is when the body needs deep sleep.

• Place a wet cloth on your tummy for 30 mins daily,

What to Avoid:-

• Avoid refined oils, fried food, packaged ready to eat foods, dairy in any form including ghee, refined salt, and sugar, gluten, refined oils, coffee, tea, and alcohol.

• Avoid mental stress by not thinking about things you cannot control. The present is inevitable. The future can be planned. Stay happy, happiness is only inside yourself. The world around you is a better place if you learn to stay happy inside yourself. Reach us if you need more help in this area. Emotional stress can cascade the effects. Thank your body and love it

Basically a plant-based lifestyle with high raw, zero oil and gluten will address your PCOD and weight as per how the body decides to clean you. You might be left with sagging skin over time which can be overcome only with strengthening your muscles which are lean and underneath your fat and hardly used due to a sedentary lifestyle.

Polycystic ovary disease (PCOD) is a condition that creates an imbalance in a woman's hormone levels. Here in this condition, women produce higher levels of male hormones which might make the women skip the menstrual periods, which is why you would see irregular menstrual periods in women who suffer from this condition. PCOD and Obesity go hand in hand and it is very essential to handle both problems simultaneously.

This condition is caused by insulin resistance, some genetical history or due to inflammation in the ovaries.

Symptoms like irregular periods, abnormal hair growth, acne, weight gain, male pattern of baldness, darkening of skin and headaches are common in this condition.

Lifestyle modification and diet along with Yoga therapy could play a vital role in the management of this condition.

A low glycemic index and low carb diet consumption have shown very good results. Some research studies have elicited this fact.

Yoga therapy if taken under a trained Yoga therapist could be beneficial as well.

A healthful PCOD diet can also include the following foods:

• Natural, unprocessed foods. avoid junk foods and carbonated drinks.
• High-fibre foods.
• Avoid non-vegetarian foods, oily, garam masalas,
• Kale, spinach, and other dark, leafy greens.
• Dark red fruits, such as red grapes, blueberries, blackberries, and cherries.
• Broccoli and cauliflower.

Specific Diet Plan To Tackle Weight Increase

Consume a high-protein breakfast. Don't skip a meal or food for breakfast in the name of dieting.

• Avoid sugared drinks and artificial or synthetic fruit juices.
• Consume a lot of dietary fibres that are rich in fruits and vegetables.
• Stop coffee, tea, alcohol, social drugs, and sedentary lifestyle habits.
• Drink lots of water.
• Exercise at least an hour if possible. Alternative you may walk one side to your work if it is less than 2 kilometres or use stairs while you climb down instead of the lift.
• Cut down on sweets, oils, ghee, and non-vegetarian diet.
• Avoid drinking water during meals.
• Cut down your calorie intake and increase your calorie burn up.
• Eat your food very slowly and properly.

A customised Yoga therapy under a trained Yoga therapist after a detailed case taking and study of your problems in specific would be more suggested.

Hi,

It is wonderful that you are considering changes to be made both in food and physical activity. Apart from this, a complete holistic approach would help you taper and get off the medication.Before we understand as to what lifestyle changes need to be made let's understand the working of our body in this context.

In mature females, every month the pituitary gland which is located at the base of the brain produces 2 female sex hormones. These hormones work in such a way to create a balance in the body which leads to either fertilization or if not fertilized leads to the monthly menstrual cycle. Estrogen and progesterone are hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. If there is a hormonal imbalance in the body it leads to PCOS/PCOD. In this condition, a cyst or an abnormal growth in the uterus develops. This happens when over a period of time, the body is unable to eliminate the toxins from the body and they accumulate and form cysts. The cysts can dissolve when the right lifestyle choices are made. This includes maintaining the right body weight, physical activity, and healthy lifestyle changes. Hormonal imbalance in the body occurs when the body is under constant high periods of stress. This releases the hormone cortisol, which impacts the functioning of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone. Due to this constant high levels of stress, the brain gets the signal to store excess fat and slow the body's metabolism down. Due to this, the body avoids bringing in a new life in this universe. Therefore you might put on weight or have acne etc. Lifestyle changes would help solve all your health issues.

• This includes the removal of all animal products including dairy, removal of packed and processed, oily and sugary foods. This creates an overload of toxins and disturbs the balance of the body.
• Include lots of raw vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. They all contain essential vitamins and minerals for the normal functioning of the body.
• Avoid excess of tea, coffee. This also triggers the production of cortisol.
• Exposure to sunshine and proper rest and sleep are also of prime importance. They release happy hormones, and in a relaxed state, the body can repair and heal.
• Manage stress either by some physical activity or deep breathing. This calms the body down. This helps the body to understand that there is no urgency and stress and it can repair and heal.
• Adequate sleep. The body repairs and heals during sleep.

कारण - पॉली सिस्टिक ओवरी सिंड्रोम'। इसमें महिला के गर्भाशय में मेल हार्मोन androgen का स्तर बढ़ जाता है परिणामस्वरूप ओवरी में सिस्ट्स बनने लगते हैं। 

हार्मोनल असंतुलन, मोटापा या तनाव के कारण उत्पन्न होती हैं। इसका मुख्य कारक ख़राब हाज़मा है। शरीर में अधिक चर्बी होने की वजह से एस्ट्रोजन हार्मोन की मात्रा बढ़ने लगती है। 

सही आहार, नियमित व्यायाम और लाइफस्टइल में सुधार कर के इस समस्या को रोका जा सकता है।

समाधान - पेट पर खीरा + नीम के पत्तों का पेस्ट लगाएँ। 20 मिनट बाद साफ़ कर लें।

लंबा गहरा स्वाँस अंदर भरें और रुकें। इसके बाद फिर पूरे तरीक़े से स्वाँस को ख़ाली करें, रुकें, फिर स्वाँस अंदर भरें। ये एक चक्र हुआ। ऐसे 10 चक्र एक समय पर करना है। ये दिन में चार बार करें। खुली हवा में बैठें या टहलें।

धन्यवाद।
