PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Barley, Basil.
Barley is about the best grain a woman with PCOS can eat. It is low in calories and has the lowest GI of all grains. Low-GI grains such as barley take much longer to digest and create a slow, steady rise in blood glucose and insulin levels. As mentioned before on Fertility Chef, low-GI foods reduce cravings. If possible, try and find hulled barley as it is the most nutrient dense of all types of barley. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
