Foods to Eat
|
-
Select free-range lean poultry and wild
fish. Omega-3's found in fish oil support uterine function and promote
fertility.
-
Include whole grains, fruits,
vegetables, nuts and seeds in your diet.
-
Avoid dehydration by drinking water at
regular intervals. Drinking water helps your body get rid of
toxic substances.
-
For men, eat foods high in zinc such as pumpkin
seeds. Zinc is needed for
proper reproductive function in men.

| Foods to Avoid Eating
|
-
Avoid consuming alcohol. Alcohol harms
sperm production and can reduce fertility in females.
-
When possible, choose organic animal
meats. This will ensure that the meat has not been treated with
hormones.
-
Avoid getting too much caffeine. Reduce
the amount of caffeinated drinks including coffee, tea and soft drinks.
Too much caffeine is suspected to cause miscarriage. Drink no more than
1 cup of coffee daily.
-
Avoid eating fast food, processed or
canned foods. Many of these foods include chemicals that can affect the
hormone levels.
