Self-Help Diet
Could having the occasional small bowl of ice cream lead to
a midnight craving for pickles and ice cream?
It's common knowledge that diet and exercise have profound
effects on your health. Can they affect your ability to get
pregnant, too? Until now, the answer to that question was a
qualified "Maybe." Today, it's "Yes!" thanks to exciting
findings from a landmark long-term study of female nurses.
As described in The Fertility Diet, ten simple changes in
diet and activity can have profound effects on fertility.
You can increase your chances of getting pregnant with such
simple strategies as: * Avoiding trans fats
* Eating more beans, nuts, and other fertility-boosting
plant protein
* Embracing whole grains such as oatmeal and barley
* Having a glass of whole milk or other full-fat dairy
product every day (a small bowl of ice cream every now and
then counts, too!)
* Staying away from sugared sodas The Nurses' Health Study exhaustively examined the effects
of diet and other lifestyle changes on fertility among
nearly 20,000 female nurses. It scrutinized everything from
alcohol to vitamins. In plain language, two of the study's
lead researchers translate its groundbreaking findings into
changes you can put into practice today, setting the stage
for a healthy pregnancy and forming the foundation for an
eating strategy that will serve you well for the rest of
your life. The Fertility Diet also offers a week's worth of
meal plans and fifteen delicious recipes.
