FERTILITY and diet go hand in hand. Some specific foods to help boost the possibility of pregnancy, while other foods have to reduce your chance of conception. The following diet and lifestyle factors that affect female fertility.

Comparison of single unsaturated fat with trans fat in the diet. A study from the Harvard School of Public Health found that women with fertility disorders, especially those who do not ovulate, tend to consume more trans fats than women without fertility problems. To eliminate trans fats from the diet, you should avoid all foods that include hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils on the label.

Consumption of protein (from animal or vegetable.) Direct toxic effects of protein breakdown may reduce fertility. Experiments are conducted from the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine found that women who consume more than 30 percent of the protein likely to experience interference with conception. If you're trying to get pregnant, try to limit protein intake to 20 percent of your diet. Too much animal protein is also associated with decreased fertility.

Consumption of carbohydrates (including fiber intake and glycemic index). Choose foods or whole-grain breads to ensure adequate intake of fiber. In addition, whole grains also contain nutrients that help stimulate the body's health and prevent insulin resistance (which increases insulin).

Insulin is a hormone that controls body fat storage. Reduce levels of insulin not only causes weight reduction but also reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and lower cholesterol. And weight loss could prove to regulate ovarian function and increase fertility.

Try to limit your intake of refined carbohydrates (white bread, pasta, rice and cakes). This method effectively manage your weight. Foods with high glycemic index (such as processed breads, pasta and rice) triggers increased sugar levels that raise insulin. While foods with low glycemic index (meat, cheese, eggs, and nuts) stimulates insulin levels decrease.

Consumption of dairy products (either low or high fat). Be sure to get adequate calcium intake. Dairy products like milk, yogurt and cheese are good sources. But, these foods contain saturated fat, which should only be consumed in moderation. To add calcium, you can eat vegetables and fruits like broccoli, cabbage and oranges. Fish, like salmon and sardines, also contain calcium.

Consumption of iron. Consumption of iron supplements and non heme iron from other sources can reduce the risk of ovulatory infertility. Women who take supplements with high iron content (41 mg or more) risk 62 percent lower than experienced ovulatory infertility in women who do not use supplements. In addition, women who consume high zinc non animal source reduction also experienced ovulatory infertility risk significantly.

The use of multivitamins. Organic foods, whole grains, fruits and vegetables increase the likelihood of pregnancy. These foods contain many vitamins and minerals, which is the key to conception and fetal development. In addition, taking high-quality multivitamin is a good way to ensure that your diet contains sufficient nutrients.

Body mass index. There is a strong relationship between obesity (body mass index 30 kg/m2) with delayed conception. On the other hand, body mass index is too low (less than 20 kg/m2) also increased the risk of postponement of pregnancy.

Physical activity. Research shows that physical activity levels were mild-best in maintaining a healthy body. Very hard activity to bring adverse effects, including reproductive dysfunction.
