Red wine will relieve women from the hormonal imbalance.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common hormonal disorders, which is observed in about 5-10% of women of childbearing age, is characterized by a change in the levels of various hormones.
Scientists have found that resveratrol — a compound of natural origin, identified in red wine and grapes may help with hormonal imbalance.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome is an endocrine disease in which the ovaries are enlarged and contain many small vesicles filled with liquid. Signs of the disease may be the irregular menstrual cycle, excess male hormones (androgens). It is also known that the pathology associated with the development of insensitivity of tissues to insulin. Elevated levels of male hormones can cause infertility, overweight, acne, hair growth on the face and body of male type, as well as other health problems, particularly diabetes.
Resveratrol — an antioxidant found in many plants, a natural phytoalexin, possesses anti-inflammatory properties. Red wine, grapes, raspberries, peanuts and many other plants contain resveratrol in large amounts.
A new study published in the journal “Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism” is one of the first dedicated to studying the effectiveness of resveratrol in polycystic ovary syndrome.
In the experiment involved 30 women with polycystic ovarian syndrome were divided into 2 groups. The first group received daily 1500 mg of resveratrol, the diet of the second group of patients did not change. The observation lasted 3 months, after which they were selected samples of blood to determine the level of testosterone and other hormones. As a result, patients treated with resveratrol, noted the decrease in testosterone levels by 23.1%, while in the second group the levels of the hormone increased by 2.9%. Also, the women of the first group decreased insulin levels by 31.8%.
