I found a fantastic article about how diet affects infertility. The article mainly addresses ovulatory infertility and there was no study on male factor infertility, although some of the same dietary concepts might apply to men too. To recap (with my commentary), the article states that there is a difference between fast and slow carbs. If you’re like me, then giving up potatoes might be an inconvenience, but if it means you can improve your ovulatory infertility than DO IT.
The article continues to discuss animal versus plant protein. With ovulatory infertility, the study suggests that protein derived from plant is more helpful to ovulation than is animal protein. The higher the animal protein the more likelihood of infertility issues. The higher the animal protein the less occurrence of ovulation issues. So while you’re trying to become pregnant, eat less meat and more vegetables high in protein.
My favorite part of the article deals with dairy (one of my favorite foods)…the article suggests having one full-fat dairy food serving per day. They state that a pint should last about two weeks with two half-cup servings per week. Just yesterday I was feeling guilty that I take my twin girls to Baskin Robins every Tuesday for Two-for-Tuesdays. Little did I know that I was helping their ovulatory fertility by doing so – do you think it works on 3 1/2 year olds? Somehow I doubt it.
The article wraps up with the role of body weight, BMI and exercise. Weight is a determining factor in so many diseases and I wasn’t surprised to see it mentioned here. I know skinny and heavy people who had no problems getting pregnant while the perfectly fit (as this article describes) unable to conceive. So, I agree that it plays a part, but its one of the many, many pieces of fertility issues. Seems that regular exercise actually improves more than just your overall health, it helps with ovulatory fertility too.
Millions of women struggle with infertility and many of them turn to medications or medical procedures for help.
In our Healthy Living report, why new research shows many of these women could improve their odds of getting pregnant simply by changing what they eat.
A comprehensive study of thousands of women shows those who derive the majority of protein in their diet from animal sources can have trouble conceiving.
“The more animal protein you take in the more problems you seem to have with ovulatory dysfunction,” said Dr. Keith Blauer.
And swapping out animal proteins for vegetable proteins such as beans, tofu and nuts can improve the odds.
“By changing the protein to vegetable protein you can improve ovulatory function,” said Dr. Blauer.
Protein was just one recommendation from this study.
First, we have what many would consider the best tag team of the last decade, and one of the best all-time to boot. They are currently a part of TNA, but have made their mark in the WWF and WWE, and should definitely be in contention when talking about the top tag teams ever. I’m talking, of course, about the Dudley Boyz, known now as Team 3D. Brother D-Von and Brother Ray compose this team, a pair of 300 lb guys who are probably the best tag team currently in wrestling today. Brother Ray is one of the funniest and most charismatic guys in the industry, from hilarious segments about trying to lose weight, to frustrating the hell out of Jim Cornette, he and D-Von constantly entertain on a weekly basis.
