5 Super Fertility-Foods For Boosting Male & Female Fertility by DrGil(m): 8:17pm On Mar 15, 2016 |
Did you know that not eating fertility foods can directly impact on your fertility and overall reproductive health and halt you from conceiving? First off, for the couple trying to conceive, the first step towards a healthy and natural conception like I strongly emphasize on is Fertility Cleansing and Detoxification, to heal your body from the effects of the wrong food choices/diet and substances that could be limiting you and your partner from becoming pregnant. Note, this will not only help cleanse your overall reproductive organ and system off dangerous; fertility-limiting toxins, chemicals, excess hormone, and heavy metals etc. But will also make your body a safe haven for the child you are preparing to bring into the world, yes! What Is Fertility Food? A fertility food is a kind of diet that contains the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body requires for a healthy conception and a positive pregnancy outcome. A complete fertility diet also helps to repair your body from damages caused by environmental toxins and effects of free radicals. Other reasons why you need to regularly eat Fertility Foods are as follows: 1. Helps to reverse certain infertility conditions like Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and Insulin Resistance as well as Diabetes Mellitus. 2. Fertility-enriched diet helps to supply antioxidants which protect the male sperm and female ovary from oxidative stress that can lead to infertility issues. 3. Provides the body with enough vitamins and minerals for storage. 4. Provides the body with good fatty acids like Alpha Lipoic acid and Omega 3 needed for hormones production. 5. Helps to nourish your reproductive health. 6. Provides energy and vitality for your reproductive system. Fertility Foods That Are Rich in Nutrients Here I have listed the exact foods your body actually requires for conception: 1. Nuts and Seeds: These are essential to fertility and conception. Nuts particularly are rich in Omega 3, Zinc, vitamin E, proteins and you can get them from food sources like: • Walnut • Pumpkin seeds • Sesame seeds • Almonds • Flax seeds Altogether they can help you fight against free radicals and boost your immunity. 2. Eggs: Eggs provide you with Vitamin D, B 12 and protein which are necessary for hormones production, and for a healthy fetal development in the womb. 3. Grass-reared or raised Meats: Meats derived from free-ranging animals (not the factory-raised animals that are constantly fed with hormones and antibiotics) supply you with adequate Omega 3, vitamin 12 and protein; altogether will help reduce the chances of miscarriage and help in the synthesis of hormones. 4. Green Vegetables: Dark-leafy vegetables provide you with essential nutrients and vitamins such as folic acid, iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin E that are essential to your fertility, and you can get these from food sources like: • Spinach • Cabbage • Broccoli • Brussels sprouts • Kale etc 5. Fruits: Fruits add tremendous benefits to your fertility, and provide you with enough antioxidants that will help to mop up free radicals in your body; protecting your eggs and sperm, and also optimize your overall reproductive well-being. You can obtain them from food sources like: • Strawberries • Blueberries • Watermelon • Papaya (pawpaw) • Grapefruits • Apples etc. Now, that’s about the foods you can freely consume for conception. What about the foods that are unhealthy for the sake of fertility and conception? Here they are: 1. Sweetened foods/Artificial/Refined Sugars: They are very bad for your reproductive health. Throws your body into hormonal imbalances and also reduces your immunity. You don’t need them at all. For the place of refined sugar, you can opt for honey as an alternative. 2. Soy Foods: Other scientific researchers have repeatedly advised against the consumption of soy-related foods, like soymilk, soya beans, soya chips, soy cheese, in fact, any soya-derived foods have been found to contain exogenous estrogen that mimics your own body’s estrogen, and eating such can affect your endocrine system. 3. Coffee/Caffeine: Coffee consumption from findings has been linked with miscarriages and prevents ovulation as a result, thus has been implicated in causing hormones imbalance. Other foods you must also avoid include: • Cakes, biscuits, cookies. • Frozen bakery products • Frozen meats and fishes • Margarines • Microwave popcorns • Etc.
