Fertility & Nutrition
Nutrition can play a role in fertility. Here are some ways that diet and nutrition may impact fertility:
Body weight
Being underweight or overweight can impact fertility by disrupting hormone levels and menstrual cycles.
Macronutrient balance
Getting the right balance of macronutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, and fats can support fertility by providing energy and supporting hormone production.
Micro-nutrient deficiencies
Deficiencies in micronutrients such as folic acid, vitamin D, and iron can impact fertility and pregnancy outcomes.
Healthy eating patterns
Following a healthy eating pattern that includes a variety of whole foods, fruits and vegetables, and lean proteins can support overall health and fertility.
By making healthy choices and getting the right balance of nutrients, individuals can support their fertility and increase their chances of conception.
