Check out this recipe from Elizabeth, one of our Registered Dietitians! It’s perfect for those with PCOS or anyone looking for a healthy meal idea!
Polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS is a hormone-related condition in which individuals may often struggle with insulin-resistance. This means that one’s body may not respond appropriately to the amount of insulin that would typically be produced by their body, and as a result those with PCOS are at increased risk of developing conditions such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Diet is one lifestyle change that can help to combat this. Eating a wide variety of foods including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is recommended! This recipe incorporates many of these components with the fresh fruits and veggies in the slaw and salsa, the whole grains in the corn tortillas, and lean protein with the spicy shrimp!
