Diet Before and During IVF
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Woman should prepare at least 2 months before an IVF cycle: she should detox, resulting in cleaning toxins from her body, and in case of being overweight or obese, woman could get rid of some excess weight.
Detoxification diets are not only advisable before IVF but also between the cycles. Detoxification diet includes elimination of coffee, alcohol, medications, smoking and avoiding smoky atmospheres.
PCOS Diet and Insulin Insensitivity
Monday, February 15th, 2010PCOS is caused by an imbalance of several sex hormones, and for that reason weight gain and most of all difficulty in losing weight are very common problems women with PCOS must deal with. This issue is in strong correlation with insulin resistance that many women with PCOS face with: their body opposes the effects of insulin and thus produces more in order to compensate. Because this resistance keeps insulin levels constantly high, blood sugar levels are kept constantly low. This imbalance is the main reason for sugary carbs cravings, and most of all responsible women with PCOS easily put on weight, and loose it so hard. This of course is not the main danger: some studies suggest that because of insulin resistance, women with PCOS are five times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes and are more exposed to the danger of heart attack.
If you are PCOS sufferer, do not let these words overcome you: there is a solution! While in some cases only drug treatments with Clomid and similar may help, in some cases small lifestyle changes can help you deal with all potential dangers and most of all help you living your life to the full.
