Nutrition Hacks for Your Fertility Journey

If you’re on a fertility journey, you’re likely doing all you can to give yourself the best chance of success. There are all kinds of methods and options to consider, but one of the most important could be your nutrition. Here are some of the best diet and lifestyle options to help support your fertility journey. 

Take Good Care of Your Blood Sugar

If you have insulin resistance or high blood sugar, that can make it harder to conceive. Eating balanced meals and reducing your sugar intake are important, as is getting plenty of protein. Both male and female fertility can be affected by blood sugar and insulin issues, and you can work with your doctor to make lifestyle changes and improvements in this area.

Get Plenty of Nutrients and Antioxidants

Proper nutrition is so important when trying to boost fertility. When you choose a diet rich in vital nutrients and antioxidants, you give your body the fuel it needs for good health. Better overall health can help improve fertility. By choosing fruits, veggies, and non-processed foods you’ll be doing your body a big favor.

Take a Multivitamin to Cover Nutrient Gaps

Even with a healthy diet and an occasional treat you might still miss out on some of the important nutrients your body needs for the best chance at fertility. Taking a good quality multivitamin can fill in those gaps, and you may want to consider a prenatal vitamin to help protect egg cells, as well.

Include Some Fertility “Superfoods”

There are a few foods that can help increase fertility and adding them to your diet could mean big benefits. Some of the most common fertility superfoods are eggs, liver, and green, leafy vegetables, along with bone broth and oily fish, and poultry with the bone in and the skin on.

While nutrition is just one of the factors in fertility, it’s one that you have some control over. Following the above tips is a great way to give yourself an extra advantage, to tip the scale in your favor. By eating right, prioritizing sleep, and working with your doctor you have the opportunity to increase your chances of conception and start or expand your family.
