PCOD or PCOS is known to be an endocrine disorder occurring mostly among women between the age group of 18 and 44. What is PCOD? When multiple fluid-filled sacs known as follicles develop in the form of cysts in the ovaries, it is known as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or disorder (PCOS OR PCOD).

Females suffering from PCOS / PCOD have to struggle with irregular menstruation, obesity, acne, and Excessive Hair Growth. If these symptoms are not treated in time they may lead to infertility issues which can be really life-ruining for families.

Unfortunately, PCOD/PCOS and weight gain are two things that are so interrelated that we can’t see both separately. A poor lifestyle, bad food habits are the main causes for weight gain which in turn becomes the basic reason for PCOD/PCOS. Though there are medications available for it, the best way is to cure PCOS/PCOD is to control increasing weight.

Yoga and brisk walk are the two easiest ways to control PCOS-related weight gain. But then we cannot deny that a healthy diet plan plays an important role too.
