How this recipe benefits your PCOS…
I think we all know that salad greens are a great, healthy option to add to your plate. They offer some great nutrients and are low glycemic, making them a great option for those who are watching their blood sugar.
In the dressing we will be using a great source of healthy fat, olive oil. Fats like olive oil help slow down glucose absorption, helping you to balance your blood sugar. Balancing your blood sugar can make a positive impact on insulin levels. High levels of insulin can exacerbate PCOS, leading to increased androgen hormones, period troubles, acne, and so much more.
