Professor Roger Hart, a fertility expert at the University of Western Australia, said the Mediterranean diet could improve women’s fertility. In this respect reports Daily mail.
The Mediterranean diet prescribes the consumption of large quantities of plant foods, healthy fats – fish, nuts, as well as cheese, yoghurt and white meat (chicken, turkey). Dr. According to Hart, following such a diet increases the chances of a successful pregnancy, both through natural conception and in vitro fertilization. Pregnancy after in vitro fertilization (IVF) occurs as a result of the transfer of the embryo obtained by artificial insemination of female germ cells with male sperm outside the human body into the female uterus.
The fertility specialist noted that the foods that form the basis of the Mediterranean diet are high in B vitamins, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. These substances are important for maintaining the health of the expectant mother and normal intrauterine development of the fetus. In addition, such a diet also involves limiting the amount of saturated fat, sugar and sodium, which are beneficial to the body.
Professor Hart also emphasized that women planning pregnancy should take adequate amounts of folic acid (vitamin B9). This substance is available in the form of dietary supplements.
