Fighting IF
Millions of women struggle with infertility and many of them turn to medications or medical procedures for help.
In our Healthy Living report, why new research shows many of these women could improve their odds of getting pregnant simply by changing what they eat.
A comprehensive study of thousands of women shows those who derive the majority of protein in their diet from animal sources can have trouble conceiving.
“The more animal protein you take in the more problems you seem to have with ovulatory dysfunction,” said Dr. Keith Blauer.
And swapping out animal proteins for vegetable proteins such as beans, tofu and nuts can improve the odds.
“By changing the protein to vegetable protein you can improve ovulatory function,” said Dr. Blauer.
Protein was just one recommendation from this study.
