INCREASE FERTILITY THROUGH NUTRITION!

How exciting that specific foods can actually increase fertility. For all those women out there who are having a challenging time getting pregnant, I pray this information helps.

According to research at the Harvard School of Public Health's department of nutrition, women who followed five or more lifestyle or dietary recommendations reduced their risk of ovulatory infertility by as much as 80%, compared with women who did not follow any recommendations.

The bottom line 10 key recommendations to increase your fertility include:

Avoid trans fats
Use more unsaturated vegetable oils, extra-virgin olive or canola oil
Eat more vegetarian protein, such as beans and nuts and less animal protein.
Choose whole grain sources of carbohydrates instead of highly refined carbs.
Drink a glass of whole milk or have a full fat yogurt each day.
Take a multivitamin that contains folic acid and other B vitamins - Livitician's recommendations: Try Twinlab Prenatal Vitamin excellent, easy to tolerate in a capsule and take Juice Plus, 17 servings of fruits, vegetables and grains in a capsule-gluten free (order at www.livitjp.com) Make sure and have foods high in folic acid (folate) too: Beans, artichokes, peanuts, romaine lettuce, fresh oranges, tofu, almonds, pasta, rice, kiwi, bread, corn, eggs, raspberries.
Get plenty of iron, but not from red meat-Livitician's recommendations: egg yolks, legumes, raisins

If overweight, lose 5% to 10% of your weight.
Start an exercise program. If you already exercise, keep it up but not too excessive if you are already quite lean.
