A Diet and Lifestyle Change May Help Boost Your Fertility As You Undergo North Houston IVF
It’s no secret that a well-balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle keep us healthy, but did you know that an adjustment in your lifestyle can help you improve your fertility and increase your chances of you and your partner getting pregnant and giving birth to a healthy baby? In this article, we will discuss the fertility-boosting lifestyle that improves both male and female infertility.
How Women Can Boost Their Fertility as They Undergo Treatment in Our Fertility Clinic in Kingwood and The Woodlands
Women trying to boost their fertility should increase the amount of whole grains they consume. They should also increase their Omega-3’s by eating foods such as flaxseed, nuts, and fish. At the same time, our fertility specialists recommend they eat less red meat and trans fats, which are found in margarine, junk food, packaged baked goods, and frying oils. In addition to adjusting their diet, we also highly encourage taking a multivitamin containing folic acid and continuing with the vitamin when they’re pregnant. Folic acid may encourage pregnancy and also prevent birth defects. To ensure birth defects aren’t present, we also conduct Preimplantation Genetic Testing.
How Men Should Adjust Their Diet in Order to Improve Fertility
In some cases, a couple is facing male infertility. In other cases, both partners are infertile. For men who want to improve their fertility, it’s best to prioritize seafood, poultry, nuts, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables in their diet, as these foods help improve the health of their sperm.
As with fertile couples, we recommend reducing or cutting fast foods from the diet, as this, in addition to the other health concerns caused by excessive fast food consumption, makes pregnancy take longer to achieve.
Regular Exercise Benefits Both Men and Women Undergoing Fertility Treatment
If you seek fertility treatment at our clinics in The Woodlands or Kingwood, such as IUI or IVF, it’s a good idea to make exercise part of your daily routine. Regularly working out improves your overall health, including your fertility. For obese men and/or women, moderate to intense physical activity is a great way to lose weight. A healthy weight leads to improved fertility.
