## PCOS: Why Are Exercise and Nutrition So Important?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age and is associated with insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and hormonal imbalances.

💡 Science confirms that exercise and nutrition can improve symptoms and help you feel better.

### 🔬 What Do Studies Show?

✅ **Strength training and HIIT** → Improve insulin sensitivity and regulate hormones.

✅ **Anti-inflammatory diet** → Reduces acne, improves menstrual cycle, and controls inflammation.

✅ **An active lifestyle** → Lowers risk of metabolic diseases and boosts mood.

### 🔹 How to Train If You Have PCOS

- 💪 3-4 days of strength training per week to improve body composition.
- 🏃‍♀️ Moderate cardio, 150 minutes a week.
- 🧘‍♀️ Yoga or mobility work for hormonal wellbeing and stress reduction.

### 🔹 Key Nutrition Tips for PCOS

- 🥦 Prioritise proteins and healthy fats.
- 🚫 Avoid sugars and refined flours.
- 🍫 Choose low glycaemic index snacks (nuts, 85% cocoa chocolate).

🔥 You’re not alone in this process. With physical activity, good nutrition, and support, PCOS can be effectively managed.
