Could What You Eat Increase Your Fertility?

A recent EmpowerHer post entitled “Fertility Friendly Foods” raised some interesting questions regarding the role that nutrition may play in increasing fertility in women.

As the story notes, The Nurses’ Health Study found that eating too much trans fat, animal-based protein (as opposed to vegetable-based protein) and dairy products could exacerbate fertility problems.

Of course, it’s important to remember that while food intake is critical for health at any age or stage, it isn’t necessarily a cure-all for certain types of infertility.  Therefore, though there’s certainly no reason NOT to pursue a well-balanced diet, it shouldn’t be seen as “the” answer to fertility issues in women… or men, for that matter.
