Excess fat around the abs, which can occur with PCOS, may actually turn the body’s defense system against an overweight person, leading to heart disease – a condition also closely linked to PCOS.
Â
Scientists have known for some time that excess body fat, particularly abdominal fat, triggers the production of so-called “pro-inflammatory” immune cells, which circulate in the blood and promote heart-damaging inflammation.
Â
In addition, other inflammatory immune cells, known as macrophages, are also turned on within fat tissue.
Â
But research has showed that a relatively small weight loss of about 13 pounds was enough to bring the levels of pro-inflammatory cells down to that found in lean people.
Â
Your PCOS health will benefit greatly as a result. You can achieve that weight loss – and keep it off – via a balanced, nutritious diet and regular exercise.
