Nutritional Support
Academic studies, all over the world, confirm that a balanced and complete diet contributes to the preparation of the body prior to conception. The quality of food you eat plays a vital role in the optimal functioning of all body parts as well as its hormones and cellular activities.
Nutrition and Fertility
Nutrition plays a critical role in fertility and IVF treatments. A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients supports the overall reproductive health, helping enhance fertility. Consuming certain nutrients, like folate and antioxidants, may improve egg quality and optimize hormonal balance, increasing the odds of successful IVF outcomes. Conversely, poor nutrition can disrupt hormonal balance, impair egg health and quality, and potentially diminish the success of IVF treatments. Therefore, maintaining a well-balanced diet is an integral part of any fertility or IVF treatment plan.In the pursuit of a balanced diet to support fertility, here are some nutrition tips to consider:
Consume a Variety of Foods: No single food contains all the necessary nutrients for overall health. Diversify your diet with a mix of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains.
Prioritize Antioxidant-Rich Foods: They combat oxidative stress, which may negatively impact fertility. Include foods rich in vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, and folate.
Include Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These fats are essential for hormone regulation. You'll find them in foods like fatty fish, flaxseeds, chia seeds and walnuts.
Avoid Processed Foods: These often contain additives and high levels of sodium and sugars, which can disrupt your hormonal balance.
Stay Hydrated: Adequate hydration is important for a host of physical functions, including reproductive health.
