Fertility and food
Posted in March 2016

Researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School have just published a review of past studies that examined the impact of diet on fertility. Here’s what they found.
For women trying to become pregnant naturally (without “assistive reproductive technologies” such as in vitro fertilization), the following vitamins and nutrients were linked to positive effects on fertility:
  • folic acid
  • vitamin B12
  • omega-3 fatty acids
  • healthy diets (such as the Mediterranean diet)
On the other hand, antioxidants, vitamin D, dairy products, soy, caffeine, and alcohol appeared to have little or no effect on fertility in this review. Trans fat and “unhealthy diets” (those “rich in red and processed meats, potatoes, sweets, and sweetened beverages”) were found to have negative effects.
Studies of men have found that semen quality improves with healthy diets (as described above), while the opposite has been linked with diets high in saturated or trans fat. Alcohol and caffeine appeared to have little effect, good or bad. Importantly, semen quality is not a perfect predictor of fertility, and most studies did not actually examine the impact of paternal diet on the rate of successful pregnancies.
For couples receiving assisted reproductive technologies, women may be more likely to conceive with folic acid supplements or a diet high in isoflavones (plant-based estrogens with antioxidant activity), while male fertility may be aided by antioxidants.


My advise
1...  Your food plays major role on your body and mind
2...  You can optimize your body's overall condition for conception by eating good-for-you foods and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Nutrient-rich foods, including fruits and vegetables, fish, oysters, vegetable proteins, and whole grains, can help support fertility, some studies show. Limit alcohol, trans fats, and caffeine. Encourage your partner to eat a healthy diet, too, as this supports healthy sperm.
3.... Think of produce as Mother Nature's multivitamin. Fruits and vegetables deliver a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, and getting enough of certain nutrients is especially important before you conceive.
4....  Eating foods rich in folate during preconception and pregnancy can help prevent neural-tube birth defects such as spina bifida. You can lose a lot of this vitamin in cooking water, so steam or cook vegetables in a small amount of water to preserve the folate.
5....  In general, choose fruits and vegetables in a range of colors to get the most nutritional bang for your buck. 
6......Your food contains all needed nutrients to conceive without any side effects.
7...   It also helps to U to sleep as needed i.e 5 to 7 hours per day without any disturbances
8...   It also helps to use minimum oxygen for your body and maximum oxygen for your child's need

Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Posted in 2014 Pregnancy can pose serious challenges to sleeping well. Poor quality and too little sleep are common during pregnancy, when many women experience fragmented sleep and symptoms of insomnia. Even women who don’t generally experience sleep problems find that during pregnancy they have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, as well as trouble getting enough sleep. We talk a lot about sleep issues for new mothers. But new research   suggests we should be paying more attention to the sleep health of expectant mothers as well. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found   links between both the quality and quantity of pregnant women’s sleep and complications at birth, including low birth weight and pre-term births. The link betw
