Keterangan

Nutrition plays a pivotal role in fertility and pregnancy, influencing both the ability to conceive and the health of the developing fetus. Adequate intake of essential nutrients such as folic acid, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids is crucial for reproductive health. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins supports fertility by promoting hormonal balance and reproductive organ function. During pregnancy, proper nutrition is vital for fetal growth and development. Healthful eating habits contribute to a healthy weight, reducing the risk of complications. Additionally, maintaining hydration and avoiding harmful substances further supports optimal fertility and a healthy pregnancy journey.

Ringkasan

  • Nutrition plays a vital role in fertility and pregnancy. It is not just about weight loss or gain, but also about preparing the body for conception. Women over 35 often face declining egg quality, and undiagnosed health issues like adenomyosis and endometriosis can impact fertility. Proper nutrition can address diminished egg quality and lack of nutrient reserves, although other factors are also relevant.
  • Signs of good hormonal health in women include regular periods, absence of PMS symptoms, cervical mucus around ovulation, stable mood, healthy weight, clear skin, and good libido. In contrast, poor hormonal health is indicated by irregular periods, low libido, vaginal dryness, tender breasts, mood swings, sleep issues, hot flashes, and heavy or scanty menstrual bleeding.
  • Assisted reproductive technologies, such as medication, surgery, IUI, and IVF, offer options beyond natural conception. Addressing conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, and polyps, which are suggestive of estrogen dominance and inflammation, is crucial. Even when relying on assisted conception, a strong nutritional foundation is essential for egg quality and the success of the procedures.
  • Key nutritional foundations for fertility include a balanced diet with adequate protein, proper digestion and waste elimination, sufficient micronutrient intake, healthy thyroid function, stress management, and adequate sleep and exercise. Specific strategies include managing blood sugar levels by balancing meals and avoiding fruit juices, supporting adrenal function through relaxation techniques, and promoting elimination pathways by including fiber and reducing toxin exposure.
  • Further nutritional support can be achieved through supplements like vitamin D3, folic acid (essential for preventing neural tube defects), omega-3 (for egg quality and inflammation reduction), zinc (for thyroid and egg health), coq10 (an antioxidant for egg quality), iron, vitamin E, and vitamin C. Men also benefit from supplements like coq10 and zinc to improve libido and sperm quality.
  • Cycle syncing involves aligning diet and exercise with the menstrual cycle phases. Tracking periods with apps like "Flow" can help understand individual hormonal patterns. Seed cycling, where specific seeds are consumed during different phases, can also optimize hormone production. Exercise routines should be adjusted based on the menstrual cycle, with gentler activities during menstruation and more intense workouts during the follicular and ovulatory phases.
