Acceptance is key in the process of living with the disorder. Accepting your body for the way it is and making lifestyle changes accordingly is essential to maintain both physical and mental health. One of the most effective treatments for PCOS is healthy living. Regular exercise, eating healthy foods and being aware of weight fluctuations can reduce symptoms and prevent future health complications. Simply walking is a form of exercise that can help keep hormones in balance and regulate menstrual cycles. Refrain from eating foods high in saturated fat and refrain from smoking as it may contribute to high androgen levels.
