Winter Park, FL – Fertility Diet! Which Foods Boost Your Chances of Pregnancy?

Eating the right food reduces inflammation in the body and improves your overall health, mood, and reproductive function.

So how can you reduce inflammation? Stay away from sugar (cakes, pies, cookies, sodas…) processed foods (hot dogs, deli meats, canned foods…), dairy (milk, cheese, ice cream…) unless organic with no hormones, saturated fat (potato chips, mayonnaise…) Eat more fruits, vegetables, organic lean meats, eggs and drink lots of water to name a few things. 

A nutritional consultation may help you identify the right foods to eat for your medical condition, achieve and maintain your optimal weight, improve your overall health, and help you to achieve your fertility goal of getting pregnant and maintaining a healthy pregnancy.

Here are some fertility friendly foods to boost your fertility chances!

Sunflower Seeds: excellent source of vitamins. Also shown to boost male fertility

Orange Juice: Not only are oranges and other citrus fruits one of the best sources for vitamin C, they’re also packed with potassium, calcium and folate—a B vitamin that can help you get pregnant by regulating ovulation and creating a healthy environment for eggs.

Asparagus: One cup of boiled asparagus will get you: Just over 60% of your daily value of folate. Your full daily value of vitamin K. 8% of your daily zinc and 16% of your daily recommended amount of selenium, both important for male fertility

Oysters: There’s a reason these slimy suckers are known as aphrodisiacs. Oysters contain more zinc per serving than any other food, and foods high in zinc may help with male fertility by increasing semen volume and sperm motility.

Walnuts: contain magnesium, which helps in producing progesterone and increasing blood supply to the uterus, which are both helpful for fertility

Other great foods: pineapple and salmon

Food should be your medicine!
