If you can swim, are you making the most of this great way to lose or manage weight to help you reverse the symptoms of PCOS ?
And if you can’t swim, why not sign up for inexpensive lessons at your local recreation center? That will give you access to one of the most effective methods of exercise for keeping fit. It’s also just about the safest because it’s such a low-impact form of activity.
To get the greatest benefit out of swimming, it’s best to improve your actual technique, including learning to kick, breathe and stroke properly. Over the next weeks we will show you to make swimming an integral and enjoyable of a healthy regime.
Start off by finding a pool that’s at least 20-25 yards long, so you can get a rhythm going. Public recreation centers usually have one that’s at least this length or longer.

Eating out at a restaurant can be fun and healthy at the same time. Provided, that is, you take a few simple steps to stick to a balanced diet to lower LDL “bad” cholesterol, which is a classic, heart-damaging symptom of PCOS.
One idea is to obtain an advance copy of the menu from restaurants that you are thinking of visiting. Many places list their general menus online while some will fax you a copy at your request. That way, you can see which options best suit someone who suffers from high cholesterol.
Start by focusing on “light menu” choices, which often come in smaller portions. You’ll want to look for items that are low in fat and salt.
Fresh is best for anyone with cholesterol problems – the less time spent in a fridge or frying pan, the better!

Portion control is an essential aid to losing or controlling weight for those of us who wish to better manage our PCOS symptoms.
But it’s just not practical, let alone desirable, to have to whip out a measuring cup whenever and wherever you eat. So how can you dish up a meal that’s balanced and just the right size?
Try this trick: divide your dinner plate, filling one half with vegetables and splitting the other half into two quarters. Fill one quarter with lean protein, such as fish, skinless poultry, beans or tofu.
Then fill the other quarter with a grain or starch-based side dish, preferably a whole-grain food, like brown rice, whole-wheat pasta or a slice of whole-grain bread.
You’ll be surprised how soon portion control becomes second nature when using this method.

Few subjects attract more wrong information than what’s good and bad for you to eat. So here are some facts about the color brown, for example, to help you seek out a healthier diet for better management of PCOS symptoms.
Is brown sugar is better for you than white?
Yes but there’s a catch. Brown sugar is refined white sugar with molasses added. The darker the brown sugar, the more molasses it contains. Now, the molasses add some minerals. But you would have to eat an awful lot of brown sugar to get any significant mineral benefit. And both varieties are fattening.
Are brown eggs are more nutritious than white eggs?
Nope. Egg color has nothing to do with the nutritional value.
Eaten in moderation, both kinds of eggs are an excellent source of protein in a balanced diet combined with regular exercise to lose weight or maintain it at a healthy level.
