How big an impact does nutrition have on fertility?  Just ask one of the many couples that came to Nutritional Weight & Wellness unable to conceive who subsequently had a baby.  Traditional cultures understood that when people ate in a highly nutritious way, their fertility increased.  Foods, such as fish eggs, were prized and given to those trying to conceive.  Most cultures today have forgotten the importance of nutrition despite soaring infertility rates.

 

Nutritional Weight & Wellness works with couples experiencing fertility problems to examine dietary and lifestyle components that affect fertility. Contributing factors include the following:

• Lack of healthy fats and use of dangerous, trans fats.
• High carbohydrate diets, low in protein and fat.
• Consumption of sugar and processed carbohydrates.
• Vegetarian lifestyles, often lacking key nutrients.
• Deficiencies in B vitamins.
• Smoking, alcohol and over-exercising.

Couples may not realize that both parents need a diet containing essential nutrients that support their personal biochemistries. Increasing healthy fats, such as olive oil and avocados, while avoiding trans fats, is a critical first step to increase fertility.  Many couples also benefit from key nutritional supplements, including the omega essential fatty acids.

 

Nutritional Weight & Wellness offers couples a choice of individual consultations or small, group classes on fertility.  If you are experiencing fertility problems, try nutritional support before resorting to alternatives that can often be expensive, painful and potentially problematic.  Call today to learn about nutritional support for fertility.
