Nutrition plays a big roll when it
comes to having a healthy body and reproductive system. The building blocks for
hormones are found in the foods we eat. Antioxidants which help to protect the
egg and sperm from free radicals are found in the foods that we eat. Just as
nutrients in food can be helpful for fertility, there are some foods and
chemicals added to foods that can be harmful for your healthy and fertility.
What
is a Fertility Diet?
What exactly is a fertility diet: Fertility
Diet is a way of eating that is supporting your body in its reproductive
efforts. It includes foods which are dense in specific nutrients needed for
hormonal function, production and balance, fetal development, health of the egg,
sperm health, blood health, and much more. It is a diet that is designed to
help your body to balance fertility issues that may exist, build up nutrient
stores and provide all of the building blocks for a healthy child. It is also a
diet that is focused on giving you and your future child the best start in
life.
Why
A Fertility Diet?
- Did you know that there are specific nutrients that are needed by the young fetus before you can even detect pregnancy? And a deficiency in these nutrients could cause serious birth defects?
- Did you know that the foods you eat today impact the health of your eggs and sperm 90 days from now?
- Did you know that hormones build themselves from the ingredients you provide through your diet?
- Did you know that the number one treatment for balancing PCOS(Polycystic ovarian syndrome) and getting pregnant is diet?
- Did you know that what you don’t eat is just as important as what you do eat?
- Did you know that the number one cause of infertility (an ovulation- lack of ovulation) can many times be remedied by changes in the diet?
- Going on a Fertility Diet is something everyone can do regardless of location, fertility issue, age, time, and money. We all eat so why not eat in a way that supports your fertility.
RESEARCH
FINDINGS
The women with the highest fertility
diet scores ate less bad fat,
and sugar from carbohydrates, consumed more protein from vegetables than from
animals, ate more fiber and iron, took more multivitamins, had a lower body
mass index (BMI), exercised for longer periods of time each day, and consumed
dairy products. The relationship between a higher “fertility diet” score and
lesser risk for infertility was similar for different subgroups of women
regardless of age and whether or not they had been pregnant in the past.
Nature has created foods to help nourish and feed the body. When the body is optimally nourished and unhealthy foods are avoided, the body is then able to repair and rebuild itself. This is very helpful for fertility, especially if there is an underlying imbalance or fertility issue. The cells in the body are constantly dying off and new cells are being created to replace the old cells. This is occurring in every organ, muscle, tissue, etc. of the body constantly. The building blocks of these new cells are provided from the foods that you are consuming. So Fertility Diet is necessary to help support a healthy body which in turn can heal itself and create healthier cells.
