Adequate
nutrition increases the chances of pregnancy. Burnaby Fertility Doctor offers
some dietary advice to improve your fertility. In this context, the
recommendations apply to both men and women.
A balanced diet
There
is evidence that a healthy, balanced diet can boost fertility by coordinating
hormone production and maintaining estrogen and progesterone harmony. There is
no question of diet and especially no restriction, but to put in place good
habits , while keeping the pleasure of eating. It is therefore to consume
everything in limited quantity, ensuring balance of daily intake of
carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Antioxidants to detoxify
These
foods help eliminate toxins, which play a negative role in reproduction.
Antioxidants also increase the motility and concentration of sperm. You will
find them among others in fruits (especially red fruits) and vegetables
(especially greens), ginger, turmeric, almonds and tea.
Calcium
It
is an essential substance for the balance of sex hormones. In this context, it
is the whole products that are the richest in calcium. It is advisable to
consume two whole dairy products a day to encourage ovulation. As per the Burnaby
Fertility experts you need to opt for whole milk (or semi-skimmed
default), cottage cheese, Swiss pups or non-lightened yogurts. Cheese and ice
cream are also sources of calcium, but should be consumed in moderation.
"Good fats"
When
we talk about food, we often tend to demonize fat. There is no question of
banishing it, but choosing good fats. A sufficient intake of omega-3
contributes to the proper functioning of our body and therefore of our
reproductive system. Prefer vegetable oils such as olive oil, rapeseed, nut or
linseed oil or margarines rich in omega-3. Eat oily fish such as mackerel,
anchovies, sardines, salmon or cod liver. Seafood and eggs are also preferred omega-3
sources. During your pregnancy, these nutrients will contribute to the good
neurological development of your baby.
