PCOS FACTS 13: DEEPER IN TO LEMONS & THE LEMON FACE CHALLENGE Hey guys... So I know I've been slacking a bit on my #PCOSFACTS posts and I will be updating today. So far...NONE of the celebrity women who have PCOS that I picked for the Lemon Face Challenge to raise awareness for PCOS have accepted the challenge (@jillianmichaels @chrisettemichele @daisyridrey @victoriabeckham @jaime_king). But it looks like @theellenshow kind of did the challenge lol. 😁 As PCOSCHALLENE.ORG states, women with PCOS have been receiving a "SOUR DEAL"🍋 PCOS "affects 1-in-10 women and can have serious #health consequences. Millions of #women and #girls with PCOS are still going undiagnosed, untreated and unsupported. PCOS is one of the most common human #disorders, yet it is one of the most neglected areas of health. [...] Even with PCOS affecting millions of lives and families and the serious health consequences, #PCOSawareness and support organizations, receive less than 0.1% of the government, corporate, foundation, and community #funding that other major #healthconditions receive. [...] PCOS research is also grossly underfunded, stifling advances. Currently, less than 0.1% of NIH grant funding goes toward PCOS research. [...] The #LemonFaceChallenge for #PCOS was created by advocate @PCOSGurl to promote PCOS awareness and to help raise funds to #support PCOS awareness, education, support and research programs. " BENEFITS OF #LEMONS FOR THOSE WITH PCOS: According to recipesforpcos.com Lemon water (especially warm/hot lemon water) can help you with PCOS by regualting your body's PH, reducing inflammation, aiding in digestion, speeding up weight loss, detoxifying your system, improving your complexion, and boosting your immune system.
