Ten foods that boost Fertility

Owing to the need for us to remain fertile, it is imperative we ingest foods that will aid our abilities to procreate. In this article, we will attempt to discuss few natural foods we believe help aid fertility. This list however is not exhausted.

1. Figs (Yoruba name: Opoto)

Figs have been believed to increase fertility since the time of Ancient Greeks, and now we have scientific evidence. Figs contain a lot of iron, which are important for healthy eggs and ovulation.

 

2. Oysters

Oysters have been known to increase libido, but oysters can also be a great source for fertility because they are packed with zinc, which increases the production of good-quality eggs.

3. Berries

Any kind of berries are good at protecting eggs from damage and aging because they are full of antioxidants. Strawberries have been linked to naturally increasing a woman’s libido.

4. Beans

Beans are a lean protein and are full of iron, which helps to increase fertility and libido. Low iron levels can result in anovulation, which is when ovulation does not produce a healthy egg.

5. Pineapple:

Antioxidants rich diets have been shown to improve fertility, because free radicals also can damage the reproductive system, foods with high antioxidant activity like pineapples that battle free radicals are recommended for those trying to conceive. The antioxidants in pineapple such as vitamins C, beta carotene, copper and folate have properties that positively affect both male and female fertility. This should be taken moderately in the afternoon, particularly by people seeking to reduce their weight

6. Leafy Greens

Dark leafy greens such as spinach and broccoli are high in folate, a B vitamin that has been shown to improve ovulation. Leafy greens also naturally increase a woman’s libido.

7. Yams

Research shows yams have an ovulation stimulating substance that can help boost fertility. yam flour can be  taken in the afternoon with some spinach soup, by people  wanting to burn some fats at the same time.

8. Quail eggs

Quail eggs give you better blood circulation and strengthen your heart muscle, which in turn boosts libido and gives you better sexual performance. As an enriched source of phosphorous, proteins, and Vitamin B, Vitamin D and Vitamin E, quail eggs stimulate and nourish the prostate gland which is vital to a man's sexual health.

9. Vegetables and Fruits

Eating up to three servings a day of fresh fruits and vegetables is important for any diet, but especially important when trying to conceive. Fruits like avocado and pumpkin seeds are favourite fertility fruits; they can help people suffering from impotence.

Focus on watermelon

There has been the study to show that watermelon can have a relaxing effect on some of the body’s blood vessels without using any drug. Watermelon can even increase sperm count and improve libido in men who eat it regularly. The reason for this great effect is the crucial Citrulline phytonutrient that is in watermelon.

10. Eat more oil fishes:

Some studies show that omega 3s which are found in oily fish such as Mackerel (Titus), sardines may reduce the risk of miscarriage and improve sperm quality. The fats are essential for healthy hormone functioning.

Foods to Avoid

1.    Soy: Soy contains a compound very similar to estrogen which can cause estrogen levels to be too high and can negatively affect fertility.  please reduce the intake of soy products.

2.    Alcohol: Although it is not essential to give up alcohol if you want to fall pregnant, Danish research found that alcohol intake had a significant effect on infertility success among women above the age of 30 who drank more than seven drinks a week.

3.    Sugar: Consuming refined sugar, such as high fructose corn syrup, can cause blood sugar spikes which can negatively affect the reproductive system as well as the rest of the body. Too much refined sugar can lead to insulin resistance, which can cause or exacerbate PCOS –- a condition that affects ovulation and is one of the leading causes of female infertility.

4.    Reduce your carbohydrate intake: Some experts believe a diet high in carbohydrates like white bread and biscuits can affect conception. These foods raise blood sugar levels quickly, causing insulin surge that can impair fertility.

5.    Saturated fats: Eliminating saturated fats from the diet is important for general health; however, it’s extremely or too high of estrogen levels, which can cause infertility.

6.    Red meat: Too much red meat increases the amount of ammonia in the body, which can interfere with the implantation of the egg in the uterus. Red meat can also be detrimental for men as it increases acidity and affects sperm activity; sperm perform better in alkaline conditions.

7.    Non-organic chicken: Conventionally raised chicken is full of antibiotics and hormones which can have a detrimental effect on hormonal balance and health

Basically eat well!   

Staying well nourished increases your chances of conceiving. Make sure to include enough protein, iron, zinc and vitamin C in your diet, because deficiencies in these nutrients have been linked to lengthened menstrual cycles and therefore less frequent ovulation and a higher risk of early miscarriage.  Protein - rich foods such as lean meat (boiled chicken and turkey), fish, low fat dairy products, eggs, and beans can be taken. Vegetarians can get their complete amino acids by including flavourful combinations of protein-containing foods, such as rice and beans.
