𝑷𝒐𝒍𝒚𝒄𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑶𝒗𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝑺𝒚𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒆 (𝑷𝑪𝑶𝑺) is a common hormonal disorder that affects women’s menstrual health, metabolism, and fertility. Because it is strongly linked to insulin resistance, daily food choices play an important role in managing its symptoms and long-term risks.

With rising rates of overweight and obesity among Filipino women, supporting metabolic health has become even more important. Research shows that balanced nutrition can help improve insulin sensitivity, regulate hormones, and reduce inflammation.

💗 This Valentine’s Day, show love not just to others—but also to your body by making self-care your sweetest gesture, starting with meals that nourish and support your hormonal health.

The good news? Nutrition is a key strategy in managing PCOS.

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰💚👶

Did you know that how much and how fast you gain weight during pregnancy can have lasting effects on both you and your baby? Healthy weight gain supports fetal growth, maternal well-being, and a safer delivery. On the other hand, gaining too little or too much is linked to complications such as preterm birth, small-for-gestational-age infants, and postpartum weight retention.

Your 𝐩𝐫𝐞-𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:

-𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥-𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐬 need slightly more weight gain to support fetal growth and reduce risks of low birth weight.
-𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐬 should monitor gains carefully to lower risks of gestational diabetes, hypertension, and delivery complications.

✅ Tip: Focus on steady, personalized weight gain based on your BMI, eat balanced meals, and stay active as advised by your healthcare provider. Small, consistent steps today can create a healthier future for your baby tomorrow!

Para sa naay diabetes and pre-diabetes :)

We all love a good dessert, pero kapag sobra ang sugar intake, maaari itong maging daan sa high blood sugar.

Remember, simple sugars like cakes and halo-halo can cause a sudden spike sa sugar levels.

Hindi naman bawal ang rice o pasta, pero everything should be in moderation.
