Most people know that there are a few basic things you can do to improve your chances of getting pregnant: eat right, exercise, and avoid smoking and drinking. But what about the food you eat? Certain foods have been shown to boost fertility and eating them may help you get pregnant faster.

How to Improve Fertility

For couples looking to improve their fertility, diet can play an important role. Eating certain foods and avoiding others can improve egg quality and increase the likelihood of conception. It’s important for both partners to follow a fertility-friendly diet as poor nutrition can reduce sperm count and motility in men, as well as negatively affect ovulation in women.

Fertility diets often include specific food groups that are believed to help improve egg quality, such as oily fish like salmon or mackerel which are packed with essential fatty acids – these fatty acids are thought to help support reproductive health by regulating hormones in both men and women. Additionally, complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, quinoa and oats provide a steady source of energy throughout the day – this is especially beneficial for women during ovulation when they may experience more fatigue than usual.

Here are six of the best fertility-boosting foods to add to your diet:

1- Eggs

Eggs are a super-food when it comes to fertility and one of the best foods you can eat. Eggs contain essential fats that help your body produce hormones, along with other important nutrients like B vitamins, which regulate hormone function and support reproductive health.

2- Oatmeal

Oats have been shown to increase the chances of conceiving in both men and women. Not only do oats provide a boost for both partners’ fertility, but they also make for a delicious breakfast! For extra power, add some nuts or seeds to your oatmeal bowl. These healthy fats will help keep your reproductive organs functioning properly and may even improve sperm count.

3- Leafy Greens

Leafy greens are some of the most nutrient-dense foods you can add to your diet. Rich in iron, folic acid, and calcium, they’re essential vitamins and minerals for healthy conception. But what makes leafy greens fertility boosters is their high B6 content; this vitamin helps produce certain hormones that regulate ovulation and menstruation.

4- Salmon or Other Fatty Fish

Salmon is one of the best things to eat when trying to conceive because it contains omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to improve both male and female fertility. In women, these fats may help with the implantation of a fertilized egg by improving uterine lining growth. And in men, these important fats may increase testosterone levels and sperm counts. Other types of fatty fish, like sardines or mackerel, are also great options to include in your diet if you’re trying to conceive.

5- Watermelon

Watermelon is a sweet fruit that’s high in antioxidants, which can improve fertility by fighting off harmful free radicals in the body. The lycopene found in watermelon has been shown to decrease oxidative stress and increase sperm count for men who eat it regularly. In addition, watermelon helps boost hydration and blood flow to the reproductive organs, enhancing both male and female fertility. So add a slice (or two!) of this delicious fruit to your next snack and reap all its fertility benefits!

6- Nuts

Nuts are a great snack option to support your fertility because they contain healthy fats and antioxidants that improve reproductive health. Almonds, for example, are rich in vitamin E, which can help increase sperm count and motility as well as artery function to improve blood flow to the reproductive organs. Walnuts are also full of good fats that may decrease inflammation in the body and increase testosterone production. Plus, these nuts are high in folic acid, an essential vitamin for women’s fertility. So grab a handful of some delicious nuts when you’re feeling hungry!

These foods, as highlighted by Fertility Plus in London, can help improve both male and female fertility, along with your overall health. Start including them in your diet today to boost your chances of conceiving.

Conclusion

In conclusion, food can be a powerful ally in the pursuit of better fertility. Eating a balanced diet that emphasizes fresh, unprocessed foods and healthy sources of protein, carbohydrates, and fats can help to improve overall health and fertility for both men and women. Supplements such as fish oil, pre-natal vitamins, maca root powder, vitamin D3, and CoQ10 may also help to boost fertility in some individuals. It is important to discuss any supplements with your doctor before taking them.
