Nutrition and lifestyle play an essential role in fertility, both female and male. It has been shown that adequate dietary intake of various nutrients (such as omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron or zinc), maintaining a healthy weight and physical exercise can help improve fertility. On the other hand, a diet high in caffeine, saturated fats, sugars and salt, as well as tobacco, alcohol, overweight and a sedentary lifestyle have a negative impact on reproductive health.
The start of fertility treatment is a good time to start a change in eating habits to improve nutritional status and enhance reproductive health and the chances of the desired pregnancy.
