Did you know sleep deprivation is making your PCOS worse?

Lack of sleep has been linked to a whole bunch of health issues including heart disease, cancer, type two diabetes, cancer and type two diabetes. Studies now show that it affects PCOS too.

It increases the inflammation in your body. Inflammation is the enemy.

It increases the insulin resistance in your body too.

Theres a massive link between both inflammation and insulin resistance and PCOS so whatever you do to increase these markers affectively makes your PCOS worse.

Have you felt how, after a night of not sleeping well, you feel worse?

Like all your PCOS symptoms are amplified?

The other thing that happens is you crave carbs and sugar. Your body is searching for fuel to supplement for the lack of sleep.

It’s so important to sleep enough.

So now you have a reason to sleep a little more ♥️

“Today I only consume what blesses my body.”

Did you know that coffee is bad for PCOS?

Could I have given you worse news?

It’s true.

It increases cortisol levels, which increases anxiety.

A study found that coffee can alter levels of estrogen.

Caffeine stimulates the adrenals and may lead to adrenal fatigue. This is a never ending tiredness. Awful.

Another study found that coffee reduces fertility. With the issues that we have with fertility it breaks my heart that coffee makes it even worse.

Fun fact: Cinnamon is good for PCOS!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

But not any kind of cinnamon.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The one that you’re looking for is ceylon cinnamon.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The reason for this is that cinnamon may contribute to the improvement of insulin sensitivity.
So don’t be afraid to add cinnamon to your diet and enjoy ☺️
