Best Fertility Diet: What to Eat & Avoid for Pregnancy | Study on Nutrition & Reproductive Health
Hello, friends!

Today, we will discuss a very important topic that many patients often ask:
"Doctor, what should I eat for better fertility?"

This presentation is based on a review article from the Harvard School of Public Health, Department of Nutrition. To make things easier, I’ve included some visuals to highlight what is beneficial and what should be avoided in a fertility-friendly diet.

Key Dietary Recommendations for Women Trying to Conceive
✅ Foods to Include:

Whole grains, soy, fish, and omega-3 fatty acids

Organic and well-sourced foods to avoid harmful contaminants

🚫 Foods to Avoid:

Trans fats and red meat

Processed and junk foods that reduce fertility potential

🔎 Why Is Food Quality Important?
Even nutrient-rich foods can lose their benefits if they contain contaminants like pesticides, mercury, or growth hormones. Therefore, choosing organic and well-sourced food is essential.

The Role of Key Nutrients in Fertility
🌿 Folic Acid:

Essential for DNA formation and pregnancy success

Reduces neural tube defects and improves fertility

Should be started preconceptionally for the best results

☀️ Vitamin D:

Crucial for reproductive health and overall body functions

Deficiency is linked to poor fertility

Best natural sources: Mushrooms, fish, egg yolk, beef liver, cheese, tofu, and yogurt

🥖 Carbohydrates (Low Glycemic Index Preferred):

Whole grains are rich in fiber and improve fertility

Help regulate estrogen levels and hormonal balance

🥑 Fats – Choosing the Right Ones:

Healthy fats (Omega-3 fatty acids) should be prioritized

Trans fats must be avoided as they negatively impact fertility

🔹 Best Omega-3 Sources:

Flaxseeds, walnuts, kidney beans, winter squash, leafy greens, salmon, and peanuts

🔸 Foods High in Trans Fats (AVOID):

Processed foods like cakes, biscuits, pastries, chocolates, French fries, fried chicken, pizza, and burgers

Essentially, anything highly processed or deep-fried should be limited

The Issue with Protein Sources
While dairy, meat, and fish are excellent sources of protein, they are also major carriers of environmental contaminants.

Soy and fish are beneficial but should be sourced carefully to avoid exposure to pollutants.

🔹 Healthy Soy-Based Foods:

Tofu, soy milk, soy protein powder, and soy cheese

Concerns About Processed & Packaged Foods
When consuming food from outside, be mindful of:
❌ Packaging materials and preservatives
❌ Pesticides in fruits and vegetables
❌ Growth hormones and antibiotics in meat and dairy
❌ Mercury in certain fish

🛑 What Can You Do?

Always wash fruits and vegetables properly to remove pesticides

Prefer home-cooked meals with fresh and organic ingredients

Reduce consumption of processed and packaged foods

Final Thoughts
By understanding what to eat and what to avoid, we can significantly improve our chances of conception.
✔️ Avoid processed junk foods
✔️ Prioritize whole, nutrient-rich, organic foods
✔️ Maintain a balanced diet with the right vitamins and minerals

A healthy diet is the foundation of a successful pregnancy!

Thank you! 😊🎶
