What you put into your body can and does have an impact on your reproductive health.

The link between diet and fertility isn’t new, but it’s worth repeating to reinforce just how important it is.

A healthy diet can improve fertility for both men and women, while an unhealthy one can contribute to infertility.

With global diets shifting over the years, coupled with poor soil quality and nutrient deficiencies, increased environmental toxins, and stress, is it any wonder we are seeing a decline in global fertility?

In my book I explain all the above factors as well as the advantages of the Mediterranean diet, which has been shown to support fertility.

Mediterranean Diet – why is it so good for us?

Male fertility improved on Mediterranean diet

In my book I also explain how specific nutrients—like saturated fats, plant proteins, and antioxidants—affect fertility. Plus, understanding the science behind it all could lead to more personalized treatments for infertile couples.

Research into how diet relates to fertility supports the naturopathic principles finding that

· Different dietary patterns can positively or negatively influence fertility in both males and females.

· A diet rich in saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, animal proteins, and carbohydrates with a high glycaemic index is correlated with male and female infertility.

However, a diet rich in plant proteins, vegetables, fruits, and antioxidants (carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin E, flavonoids, and polyphenols) may improve fertility.
