Nutrition and supplementation and female fertility

Some ingredients in food are particularly important for reproductive function, and their deficiency can contribute to menstrual cycle disorders and infertility. Fertility in women depends on many factors.

Table of Contents

1. The main ingredients

They are an energy substrate in the body's processes (Chavarro et al. 2009).Unprocessed products such as dark bread, whole grain pasta, thick cassava, brown rice, onion seeds, raw vegetables and fruits should therefore be included in the diet. Their intake contributes to high glucose levels, followed by insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), which results in an increase in androgen levels (including male sex hormones) and can lead to ovulation disorders.

2. It's a protein

Incorporation of plant protein products was associated with a reduced risk of infertility (J.E. This is due to the fact that plant protein has a beneficial effect on reducing insulin resistance and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels, the high concentration of which contributes to the occurrence of fertility disorders.

3. It's the fat

However, it should be noted that not only is excessive fat consumption unfavorable. A link has been observed between insufficient dietary fat intake and shortened luteal cycle, menstrual disorders and preterm birth (S. For the improvement of reproductive function, it is necessary to ensure the delivery of single and large fats (including marine fats, linoleic acids, alpha-linolenic acids). Bioregulation has also been shown to contribute to the preparation of pregnant fats for breastfeeding, menstruation disorder and premature childbirth (H.H. Revelcher).

4. Mineral compounds

Iron and iodine are among the most important micronutrients that have a significant impact on women's fertility, and antioxidant minerals such as zinc, selenium and magnesium are also important.

5. The iron

Iron is essential for the production of maternal and fetal haemoglobin, and this protein enables the transport of oxygen from the lungs to all cells and tissues. If iron is insufficiently supplied, there may be a lack of ovulation or a decrease in the quality of the maturing ovum. When iron is lacking, the chances of conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy are even 60% lower (compared to women with normal iron levels in the blood). Chavarro et al. 2006).

6. I'm going to tell you what I've been up to

Based on studies, it was found that women with infertility and ovarian failure had lower selenium levels in the body. Mistrus et al. 2012). Another element that is part of many enzymes is selen. Lack of this micronutrient has also contributed to improper pregnancy (H.D. Its good source is fish, seafood, legumes and nuts. It plays an important role in the metabolism of thyroid hormones.
