We know that pregnant women need to shun alcohol (of course!), but what about women who are trying to get pregnant? Or women who are trying to increase their fertility? There is a big link between nutrition and fertility. For those of you who have babies on the brain, proper diet and nutrition should start early.
Nutritionist Haylie Pomroy has helped many women become pregnant. She has written an excellent book on nutrition (for women and men) to help increase fertility, and a guide for eating while pregnant. Her book, Craving Conception: Unlock The Power of Nutrition for Fertility, is a must-read.
And don’t forget prenatal vitamins! Many women think the day that pregnancy test comes out positive is when they need to start a prenatal regimen, but this isn’t the case. Starting on prenatal and fertility supplements early (again, for women and men) can greatly increase your chance of conception.
And for those of you who are expecting – congratulations, and don’t touch that lunch meat! Here is a quick reminder from our friends at Baby Center on safe foods for expecting moms.
Happy eating!
