Having healthy food is important for fertility because your reproductive system needs the right nutrients to produce healthy eggs, healthy s***m, and maintain hormonal balance. Here’s why it matters:
1. Supports hormone balance
Vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and proteins from whole foods help your body produce and regulate reproductive hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Processed foods and excess sugar can disrupt insulin and hormone levels, which may affect ovulation and s***m quality.
2. Improves egg and s***m quality
Antioxidants from fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds protect eggs and s***m from oxidative stress and DNA damage.
Omega-3 fatty acids (from fish, walnuts, flaxseed) help improve s***m motility and egg health.
3. Maintains a healthy weight
Being underweight or overweight can disrupt ovulation and menstrual cycles, and can reduce s***m count.
Balanced meals help keep blood sugar and insulin levels steady, which supports regular cycles.
4. Reduces inflammation
A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods (leafy greens, berries, turmeric, olive oil) can improve uterine health and s***m function.
Chronic inflammation can interfere with implantation and s***m production.
5. Prepares the body for pregnancy
Nutrients like folic acid, iron, zinc, selenium, vitamin D, and B vitamins help prepare the body for conception and healthy pregnancy.
Healthy eating builds up nutrient reserves that support early embryo development.
