OVARIAN HEALTH.
There are many complications that can occur in a woman’s ovaries during her lifetime, such as ovarian cysts, which often occur or even go away without treatment. More serious problems may occur with the ovaries, such as ovarian cancer, which require intensive treatment. The best way to treat these conditions is preventive care and frequent follow-up visits to a primary care physician. Below are tips that you can adapt to your daily routine to improve ovarian health.

Healthy food
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition that contains an imbalance of sex hormones, are more likely to develop ovarian cancer and obesity. For this reason, it is even more important for people with PCOS to maintain a healthy diet. Below are the foods you should consider in your diet.

Lean proteins are important to consume! Limiting your intake of saturated fats can help reduce inflammation in the body and reduce your risk of ovarian cancer. Good sources of lean protein include fish, chicken, lentils, beans, and eggs.

Fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables are never a bad choice when it comes to including them in your diet. They are full of vitamins and antioxidants that help strengthen the body’s immune system and fight diseases. Tomatoes and onions can especially help prevent ovarian cancer.

Nuts and seeds: Healthy fats are important for ovarian health. The unsaturated fats found in nuts and seeds can provide omega-3 fats, which can reduce inflammation and help reduce the risk of cancer.

Exercises
Overweight or obese women are at a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer. In addition to a healthy diet, it is important to exercise regularly to stay healthy. Exercise is believed to support the body’s immune system, which in turn can help prevent obesity and ovarian cancer. Starting with moderate exercise, which includes walking for most days or light jogging, can have the effect of reducing your risk.
