Actor and nutritionist Bhagyashree may have stepped back from the glitz and glamour of Bollywood, but she continues to stay closely connected with her fans through her passion for health and wellness.
“PCOS mein male hormone yaani androgen badh jaata hai. Iski wajah se irregular periods, facial unwanted hair aur acne jaise symptoms ho sakte hain.” (In PCOS, the male hormone called androgen increases. Because of this, symptoms such as irregular periods, unwanted facial hair and acne may occur.)
According to Bhagyashree, Mulethi helps lower androgen levels and, along with that, may help reduce some of your problems.
Sharing her Tuesday wellness tip, Bhagyashree suggested: “Mulethi ki jad ka ek chhota sa tukda ek cup paani mein daalein. Ise 5 se 7 minute tak dheemi aanch par ubaalein. Chhan kar ise gunguna hi pee lijiye.” (Add a small piece of mulethi (licorice root) to a cup of water. Boil it on a low flame for 5 to 7 minutes. Strain it and drink it while it is still warm.)
In a 2023 Interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Supriya Puranik, PCOS can be managed naturally through healthy lifestyle changes. She recommends eating whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses, nuts and seeds, getting adequate sunlight to maintain vitamin D levels, and reducing refined carbohydrates.
A balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, regular exercise for at least 150 minutes a week, and stress-management practices like yoga and meditation can also help control symptoms. These habits may improve fertility, support weight management, and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
