can be defined as the ability to reproduce. If you are having difficulty conceiving, it might be useful to incorporate the essential ‘fertility boosting’ vitamins and minerals into your diet.
Body weight can have a dramatic effect on ovulation and deficiencies in Vitamin B12 and folate can lead to temporary infertility.
Fertility problems are often due to elevated levels of estrogen. This almost always occurs when women have used birth control. Some foods we consume might be influencing estrogen dominance in the body. The term phyto-hormones refers to plant substances that, when eaten, can be converted by the body into hormones. Phyto-estrogens, for example, found in soya, tofu and legumes (peas, beans, lentils) will go on to mimic estrogen in the body.
The ‘Fertility’ diet focuses on whole-foods and avoids additives & preservatives.
