Fertility Diet

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.

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.
