Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrine problem affecting women mostly of child-bearing age. It manifests through irregular menstrual cycle, insulin resistance, obesity and mood swings.
Ramadan fasting, which is a kind of time-restricted intermittent fasting, may benefit women who are overweight to improve their insulin resistance, lower body fat, reduce inflammation and support more effective weight loss.
Fasting can help manage PCOS symptoms due to overall energy deficit intake - which leads to efficient usage of stored fats for energy. Healthy choice of foods during Iftar and Suhoor, right portions, combined with resistance training result in greater loss of body fat and improved BMI.
