Health and fertility benefits of Green Italian Rice Salad
Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Brown rice is a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.
