Healthy Nutrition Can Impact Women's Fertility – Myth or Reality?

Abstract

Nowadays, women live in a stressful environment with numerous responsibilities and challenges, and fertility-related difficulties are one of them. Many factors influence female fertility, such as genetics, age, environment, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), lifestyle, etc. Researchers seek to find out which factors positively impact female fertility. The broad discussion around the interdependent correlation between healthy nutrition and fertility has recently unfolded. Studies give credible information on how vital nutrient density and food quality are for women's health. Consuming unsaturated fats, vegetables, fruits, fish, whole grains, legumes, and nuts positively affects female fertility. In contrast, trans fats, refined carbohydrates, animal protein, and others can negatively influence the reproductive system.
