Foods You should eat if you trying to get pregnant

There are certain foods that can increase a woman’s fertility. Here’s a list of fertility-boosting foods that you must include in your diet if you are trying to conceive.

Bananas

Rich in potassium and vitamin B6, banana aids in improving fertility. It does so by improving sperm and egg quality and regulating reproductive hormones.

?Beans

Full of lean protein and iron, beans are known to increase a woman’s fertility and libido. The low iron level in the body leads to the production of unhealthy or less healthy eggs.

Complex carbs

Studies say that high insulin level inhibits ovulation. Our body digests bad carbs quickly and increases our blood sugar level. Good carbs, also called complex carbs, get digested slowly and have a gradual effect on our blood sugar level.

?Greens

Green leafy vegetables are rich in folate and B vitamin, both of which are said to improve ovulation. Green leafy vegetables also increase a woman’s libido

Berries

Berries are full of antioxidants and thus, protect eggs from damage and ageing. Berries, specifically strawberry, also increase a woman’s libido.

Potatoes

Baked potatoes are a great source of Vitamin C. Also, they are said to be effective in treating luteal phase defects (when your ovaries do not release enough progesterone).

Pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin seeds are rich in non-heme iron. A study found that women who regularly consumed this iron were 40 per cent less likely to have trouble getting pregnant than those who did not consume it.

You can roast pumpkin seeds and add salt and pepper to make it taste better.

Olive oil

Olive oil is monosaturated fat that decreases inflammation in the body. Inflammation is said to interfere with ovulation and early development of the embryo.

You can cook food in olive oil or sprinkle it on salads.

Shellfish

Being a seafood, shellfish is packed with vitamin B12. It helps by strengthening the endometrium lining (necessary for getting pregnant) in women and increasing the sperm count in men

?Whole dairy products

It has been found that the more low-fat dairy products a woman consumes, the more trouble she has getting pregnant. Eating full-fat dairy products help women to have less trouble in getting pregnant.
