Diet and Fertility

Fertility and diet go hand-in-hand. There are certain foods that can help boost a woman's chance of becoming pregnant Organic foods, whole wheat, fruits, and vegetables contain lots of vitamins and minerals, which is crucial for conception and fetal development. Protein sources, such as meat and poultry, help maintain healthy level of iron. It’s also a good idea to eat fish with low mercury levels like salmon because it’s an excellent source of omega-3, which boost fertility and heart health.

Make sure to also incorporate a lot of fiber and calcium in your diet as well. And drinking at least 6-8 glasses of water a day is also important when trying to conceive. Keeping all these things in mind there are some foods you should avoid when trying to get pregnant.
