| Nutrition and Fertility Health |
When you think of nutrition, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Weight loss and overall health, right? That’s quite simplistic!
Nutrition
has a more significant impact on your body than you may know. It plays an
essential role in your fertility health, conception and pregnancy.
Follow me
here as I explore several fundamental ways a healthy diet can enhance your
fertility and set your body for a healthy pregnancy, birth and your child’s
future health.
1. Nutrition Boosts Healthy Hormone Production
Yes, hormones
impact your entire body function, but they also have a particularly powerful
impact on your fertility health. They control your menstrual cycle, impact your
uterine lining and ovulation, and many more. That’s huge!
To generate
more hormone production, eat healthy fats such as fish oil, flax oil, olive
oil, sunflower oil, grass-feed butter and avocado. Also, eat lots of fiber, for
example, fruits, veggies, beans and whole grains.
2. Antioxidants
Protects the Ovum
What can antioxidants do and what foods provide
it? Well, anitoxidants act as a protector of your cells and the ovum is the
largest of those cells in a woman. To get antioxidants, eat vibrantly colored
fruits and vegetables and healthy meats, raw nuts and seeds.
3.
Hormone Metabolism
A good diet
helps to flush out excess hormones and hormone-mimicking chemicals we eat in
contemporary foods.
Your diet
plan should prioritize:
· Hydration, because
water also detoxifies your body, promotes hormonal balance and cervical mucus
production.
· Eating enough fiber
as it removes excess hormones.
· Eating organic foods,
including grass-fed meat and dairy.
If you can’t access organic foods, always wash your
inorganic fruits and vegetables to get rid of herbicides and pesticides.
4.
Nutrition
Supports Healthy Uterine Lining
Every woman
should have a healthy uterine lining for implantation. Ultrasound helps women
know whether they have a thick or thin uterine lining, but heavy or light
cycles also matter.
Are you
asking yourself why you have a nutritional deficiency despite taking a “rich
diet”? Modern diets have processed foods that are not very great for your
uterine lining.
· To treat your thin
lining issue, eat healthy while incorporating enough protein and iron.
· To solve your
excessively thick lining, eat enough fiber, hydrate well and enough organic
foods.

A Good Diet
Reduces Inflammation
To enhance your
body’s anti-inflammatory response, consume foods containing essential fatty
acids and antioxidants such as colorful fruits and veggies. Eat Omega-3s
foods as they also boost your reproductive health. They include fish, chia
seeds, walnuts, flaxseed and healthy plant oils.
Stay away
from these foods to avoid aggravating inflammation
· Gluten
· Dairy
· processed meat
· or refined
carbohydrates
However, these foods can affect people
differently.
6. A good diet Protects
Egg and Sperm Health Integrity
Have you
ever thought of what you must do to protect the health of your eggs in your
fertility journey?
Whatever
you do, prioritize nutrition and increase foods rich in antioxidants. Their
impact is fundamental to fertility health.
Don’t set
your mind on crash diets or disregarding certain food groups. Instead, focus on
consuming wide-ranging whole, unprocessed foods. This protects the health of
the egg, sperm, fertility and your coming child.
The Bottom Line
The food
your body receives has a big connection to your reproductive health. So, if you
want to improve your fertility health naturally, turn to the type of nutrition
above alongside other essentials.
