Keep Moving … For a Good Night’s Sleep
Getting exercise during the day not only helps weight loss for better management of PCOS symptoms but it could also prevent you from tossing and turning at night.
A new sleep study of 28 women and 8 men showed that those assigned a moderate exercise routine had a 37% increase in their total sleep time over those who were less active.
Stress-relieving brain chemicals like serotonin and endorphins could play a role in improved sleep patterns. Anything that raises the heart rate for about 30 minutes, such as walking, cycling or swimming will raise levels of those brain chemicals.

I can not believe the amount of quality material that exists on this site. The site is extremely eye catching and pulls the reader straight in, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing - Not this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.Dear Katherine,
Thank you for contacting Insulite’s PCOS support blog. I am so glad you found our website.
Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! It’s great to want to be pro-active by preventing the development of PCOS. I think the most important thing you can do is to teach her the importance of a healthy lifestyle, which includes a healthy diet and regular exercise. Teach by example.
It sounds like you and someone in your family has been recently diagnosed with PCOS. PCOS is notoriously difficult to diagnose. It is a diagnosis of exclusion. In other words, it is important to rule out other diseases that can cause symptoms similar to PCOS (such as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia). To diagnose PCOS, we use a combination of clinical symptoms (what you experience as the patient, such as excess hair growth, irregular menses, acne, skin tags, weight gain, infertility, etc.) and lab tests. Some of the common treatments include a healthy diet plan that is often low in carbs, includes regular exercise, and medication or nutrients to improve insulin sensitivity. Metformin (glucophage) is often prescribed. Birth control pills are also often prescribed to regulate menses. Some women with PCOS respond well to Glucophage in terms of losing weight and regulating their menses, but we hear from many women for whom this medication is ineffective.
Our view on the pharmaceutical treatment of PCOS is that there is no one drug on the market that will change your condition. The only way to reverse the disorder is to reduce elevations in insulin, which directly affect testosterone and other hormonal changes that are responsible for causing PCOS. The Insulite PCOS System uses botanicals and nutrients to help reverse insulin resistance and balance hormones.
