Our goal is to be your guide to reach optimum health when dealing with health conditions such as:
PCOS
Diet and lifestyle changes are the primary treatment approaches for women with PCOS. Women can benefit from proper food intake, supplements, regular physical activity, stress management and sleep support. Many women with PCOS show to be deficient in certain nutrients like magnesium and zinc. Women with PCOS tend to have more low grade inflammation that could stem from insulin resistance so it is really important to incorporate anti-inflammatory foods. Some Antioxidant rich foods are:
- Cold water fish
- Nuts
- Seeds
- Avocados
- Whole grains
- Beans
- Legumes
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Green Tea
Highblood Pressure
Hypertension is the term used to describe high blood pressure. Blood pressure is a measurement of the force against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood through your body. It is known as the silent killer. High blood pressure increases your chance of having a stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney disease, and early death. Fortunately, through dietary and lifestyle changes it can be managed and controlled.
The sodium in salt plays a major role in high blood pressure. Most Americans are getting too much sodium from the foods they eat. The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends less than 2,300 milligrams per day of sodium and even less for children younger than age 14. Here are ways you can eat right with less salt:
- Focus on fresh foods as they are naturally low in sodium.
- Read food labels to select “low sodium” or “no salt added” products.
- Use caution with condiments and try low-sodium sauces.
- Try salt-free seasonings such as herbs, spices, or lemon juice.
Hearth Health
Heart disease is a leading cause of death among men and women in the United States. Unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, excessive weight, and smoking are some factors that increase patient’s chance of developing cardiovascular disease (heart disease). Managing elevated blood cholesterol and high blood pressure is the best way to support good heart health. Daily eating habits that can improve our lipid levels include:
- Limiting foods high in saturated fat, for example beef and pork.
- Eat more unsaturated fats, for example fish and nuts.
- Eat more dietary fiber, for example whole-grains, vegetables and fruits.
- Eat less processed foods, for example fried and packaged foods.
