🌾 Why Low GI Matters for PCOS – and How Khapli Wheat Atta Can Help

Living with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can feel overwhelming. The symptoms — irregular periods, weight fluctuations, acne, mood swings — are tough enough. But what’s often overlooked is how your daily food choices, especially the type of grains you eat, can significantly impact your hormonal balance.

One powerful yet simple shift? Switching to low GI (glycemic index) foods — and among them, Khapli Wheat Atta stands out as a natural hero.

 

🧬 PCOS and Blood Sugar: What’s the Link?

At the root of many PCOS symptoms lies insulin resistance. This means your body struggles to use insulin properly, leading to higher blood sugar and insulin levels. In turn, this triggers your ovaries to produce more androgens (male hormones), worsening PCOS symptoms like acne, unwanted hair growth, and irregular cycles.

👉 The good news? Stabilizing blood sugar can help break this cycle.

 

🌾 Understanding Low GI Foods

The glycemic index (GI) ranks foods based on how quickly they raise your blood sugar.

  • High GI foods (like maida, sugar, white rice) cause sudden spikes.
  • Low GI foods release sugar slowly, keeping energy and hormones more stable.

For women with PCOS, low GI eating is not just helpful — it's essential. It can improve:

  • Hormonal balance
  • Menstrual regularity
  • Weight management
  • Mood and energy levels

 

🌿 Why Khapli Wheat Atta is a Game-Changer

Khapli wheat (also known as Emmer wheat) is an ancient grain that’s naturally:

  • Low GI
  • High in fiber
  • Rich in antioxidants, iron, and B vitamins
  • Easier to digest than modern hybrid wheat
