Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.
3/4 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 small), cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
3/4 teaspoon paprika, divided
12 uncooked shrimp (26-30 per pound), peeled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
