If you’re dealing with PCOS, you might also want to keep an eye out for another condition that often comes along for the ride: endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a painful disorder where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.
While there’s no guaranteed way to prevent endometriosis, there are some foods you can add to your diet that might help reduce your risk or manage symptoms if you already have it.
Here’s a look at some of them:
Fiber-Rich Foods: Foods high in fiber, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains (PROVITA Rolled Oats), and legumes, can help regulate estrogen levels, which may be beneficial for endometriosis.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Foods rich in omega-3s, such as fatty fish (like salmon and sardines), flaxseeds, and walnuts, have anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce pain and inflammation associated with endometriosis.
Green Tea: Green tea contains antioxidants called catechins, which have anti-inflammatory effects that may help alleviate symptoms of endometriosis.
Turmeric: Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce pain and inflammation associated with endometriosis.
Healthy Fats: Foods rich in healthy fats, such as avocados, olive oil, and nuts, can help reduce inflammation in the body, which may be beneficial for endometriosis.
Adding these foods to your diet can be a delicious way to potentially manage endometriosis symptoms.
As always, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any significant changes to your diet or treatment plan.
