Harvard Researchers studying 18,000 women found those on a fertility diet were six times more likely to conceive.
Their research found that the fat in whole dairy products like milk and ice cream improve fertility.
Experts also advise would-be moms to stay away from trans fats, or at least limit consumption to no more than four grams a day.
Foods that increase fertility are:
- good proteins
- slow carbs, like vegetables, fruits and brown rice
Foods that decrease your chances of getting pregnant are:
- Fast carbs, which are found in white rice, white bread and white sugar
- red meat
Dr. Koren Barrett of the University of California says this is because
“higher insulin levels and higher glucose levels or sugar levels in our blood disrupt our hormones.”
