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.

David Beckham, 32, told a US TV show earlier this week that his superstar wife wanted to extend her brood now the Spice Girls tour has finished.

He told Ellen DeGeneres: “We’re working on it. We’re very family orientated, so we’ve always wanted a big family, which was weird because when we first got together we never even discussed how many children we wanted.

“But it’s worked out that we want a big family and we love kids so it’s worked out perfect.”

And David’s dad also confessed that his famous son “really wants a girl.”

Red chillies are recommended because they “’spice’ things up in the fertility department by increasing the flow of blood around the body, ensuring that the reproductive system gets a healthy supply,” according to website askbaby.com.

“Chillies also stimulate endorphin production which means that more fertility boosting, stress releasing, happy hormones circulate around your body.”

The book deals specifically with failure to get pregnant because of a failure to ovulate, which the doctors say is one of the most common pregnancy-related problems. They suggest that if you’re having trouble getting pregnant you should see a doctor to rule out other problems before relying on the advice in the book, but the diet suggested here would work for anyone, male or female, trying to conceive or not, who wants to be healthier.

The book provides 10 general tips to improve the odds of conception:

1. Cut out trans fats.
2. Eat more unsaturated fats like olive oil.
3. Get more protein from vegetables and less from meat.
4. Pick whole grains over refined carbohydrates.
5. Get a serving or two of full-fat dairy daily.
6. Take a multivitamin that includes plenty of folic acid.
7. Get iron from fruits, vegetables and beans rather than meat.
8. Cut out soft drinks and get most of your liquid refreshment from water, with coffee or tea in moderation.
9. Maintain a healthy weight or lose weight if you need to.
10. Start exercising daily if you aren’t already, or pick up the pace if you do work out, unless you’re already skinny.
