At Lab Testing API (LTA), we understand how important family planning is and the challenges that can arise when trying to get pregnant. We know that everyone’s journey is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. While we offer general health and wellness guidelines, we encourage you to seek advice from healthcare professionals who will treat you as the unique individual you are.
The food we eat is crucial for our health and plays a big role in our cells and DNA. Choosing clean, toxin-free food helps our cells and DNA work better, which is good for our health and the health of future babies. Harmful chemicals like pesticides can affect fertility, so it’s important to reduce exposure to these toxins to stay healthy and increase your chances of getting pregnant.
Omega-3 fatty acids from fatty fish can help reduce inflammation, which can support getting pregnant. Studies suggest that a diet with lots of omega-3 fatty acids can also help with ovulation, egg quality, and possibly slow down aging of the ovaries. Consider adding fish like salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and herring to your diet or take a good omega-3 supplement.
Healthy fats are important for cell function and hormone production. Foods like coconut oil, olive oil (for non-cooking use), avocados, and pasture-raised butter and ghee are great sources of healthy fats. But be cautious about dairy if it doesn’t agree with your body.
Vitamin E-rich foods are important for proper hormone function and keeping your endocrine system healthy. Nuts, seeds, and fish are good sources of this essential nutrient.
Vitamin C plays a key role in helping women ovulate and increasing sperm count in men. Including vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits, kiwi, guava, red peppers, and kale in your diet can be helpful.
Folate is crucial for cell growth and preventing birth defects. Instead of folic acid, try to get folate from fresh, leafy greens. Folic acid can cause issues for women with the MTHFR mutation, so it’s best to choose supplements with folate, not folic acid.
Taking care of your body by eating real, whole foods, being active, getting enough sleep, and managing stress can significantly increase your chances of getting pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy.
