Quick to respond, actor Ali Fazal detailed his own transformation journey and wrote, “so nice to read this.. as a man if i may- haven gone through so many tranformations for work, and what nobody realises is the toll it takes and sometimes mentally that a part of the mind switches off to all inputs. And its only focus and nutrition that almost rekindles the hope that our bodies are amazing gods within themselves.. capable of the unthinkable sometimes. Good on you!! And thank you for this. Inspiring indeed. I started yoga, and nothings pullin me away from that ever now. A non negotiable!? Hehe (sic).” (Instagram/alifazal9/masabagupta)

Meanwhile, Bareilly Ki Barfi and Panga director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari penned, “Dear @masabagupta Thankyou for speaking about PCOD. This is one of the most important post in a woman's life who has suffered from PCOD for really long. Mood Swings, bloating and sudden weight gain. Yoga, walk and only low intensity work out helped me in the past four years. Where i decided no more meds. Meditation everyday, A good energy with a happy state of mind is what i look for everyday. And its started showing now in my overall outlook towards life (sic).” (Instagram/masabagupta/ashwinyiyertiwari)

While there is no permanent cure for PCOD and PCOS, the symptoms can be managed with the intake of right diet of limiting carbohydrates, maintaining a healthy weight and with adequate exercise. Blood sugar levels can be lowered with exercise and since weight loss can reduce insulin and androgen levels, it may restore ovulation and can even help with infertility. (Getty Images/iStockphoto)
