tatement of the Problem: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that affects women of reproductive age. Hormones play a crucial role in the functioning of the human body, particularly in the reproductive system. While modern medicine can treat these imbalances, holistic approaches offer additional benefits in restoring the endocrine system and overall health. One such approach gaining popularity is "seed cycling." Seeds are a rich source of various bioactive compounds that provide numerous health benefits. Certain seeds contain antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and compounds that may regulate hormones associated with PCOS, such as insulin and androgens. Conditions like hyperinsulinemia can lead to excessive ovarian androgen production and the development of abnormal follicles, resulting in a dysfunctional ovarian and menstrual cycle. This review aims to assess the impact of seed cycling on PCOS based on this premise. Introduction: Women of reproductive age are susceptible to the hormonal condition known as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). An essential component of the human system's organized operation are hormones. They are essential to the healthy process of the reproductive system in humans. The most prevalent cause of infertility in women is a hormonal imbalance. Although hormonal imbalances can be treated by modern medicine, holistic approaches have their own advantages in treating and repairing the endocrine system as well as the human body as a whole. The idea of "seed cycling" is one such comprehensive strategy that has gained popularity recently. It is true that seeds are a great source of many different bioactive substances that have several health advantages. Certain seeds contain antioxidants that can fight oxidative stress and substances that may help control hormones linked to PCOS, including insulin and androgens. A dysfunctional ovarian and menstrual cycle may result from hyperinsulinemia's increased aberrant ovarian androgen production and the development of abnormal follicles. The research review was carried out to determine the impact of seeding cycle in PCOS based on this supposition. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: A literature review was performed using terms such as â??PCOSâ??, â??polycystic ovary syndromeâ??, â??Seeds Cyclingâ??, â??Lifestyleâ??, and â??Dietâ??. The search was carried out with reference tracking, from databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. Original articles and review papers on the role of seedsâ??s cycling in PCOS were considered for the study. Only human studied were considered. Conclusion: This paper provides a thorough analysis of the healthy and nutritional qualities of seeds as well as their potential for treating PCOS and offers suggested usage guidelines. Data was gathered using keyword and database searches. Seeds should be a regular part of the diet due to their high nutrient content and capacity to improve reproductive health at any stage of the menstrual cycle. Research has the potential to help treat PCOS and consequently fertility
Dr. M. Pushpa Devi area of interest lies on the utilization of underutilized grains, vegetables, and fruits through development of innovative products, value addition, adopting traditional and modern technology processing methods for developing the convenient products and identification of nutritional values. Furthermore, my specialization is on exploring the causes and functional consequences of micronutrient deficiencies and metabolic disorders. My research focus on the preparation of convenience foods by using processed composite millet powder possessing immense nutritional and functional properties by different drying methods which would help in increasing the consumption of millets among non-millet consumers. Community â?? based research involving both quantitative and qualitative research techniques.
