From the moment of birth until you die, your environment, inside and outside your body, can greatly impact your genetic disposition. By choosing to take control over your inner and outer environment (by changing your diet, for example) you can strongly influence your genetic tendencies and therefore help your body overcome disease. Poor Dietary Choices A diet high in refined carbohydrates, processed and toxic foods and low in fresh fruit and vegetables affects biochemical processes within the cells, contributes to hormonal imbalance, worsens digestion and interferes with the natural toxic elimination process. Lack of good nutrition is another factor. Our bodies need to obtain about 40 essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients to enable the cells in our bodies to fully function and remain healthy. These nutrients mostly come from our diet since the body cannot produce them by itself. When we eat more processed foods and fewer foods with high nutritional value, the immune system declines and becomes less effective since nutrition is highly essential for healthy immune functioning. With a weakened defense system, we make it easier for PCOS and ovarian cysts to develop. Over-acidity in the digestive system, usually due to a diet high in acidic foods, is another major factor. A state of over-acidity causes the blood to become sludgy and thick, creating the ideal environment for candida growth (more on the acid-alkaline balance later). The consumption of refined or processed foods spikes your blood sugar to high levels. Insulin levels increase in order to control the sudden increase in blood sugar. Too much insulin eventually makes the cells "insulin resistant.” (more on the insulin-PCOS connection later) Page 23
