Deliciously Healthy Fertility: Nutrition and Recipes to Help You Conceive

Description

An authoritative guide focusing on the impact diet and lifestyle can have on people looking to conceive While some people looking to conceive can become pregnant quickly, this is not the case for all. In fact, just over 15 per cent of people trying for a baby will take longer than a year trying to conceive, and 1 in 7 heterosexual couples will experience problems with fertility. While there can be a variety of reasons for this, there are lifestyle choices - predominantly dietary - that people can make that increase the chance of conception. Split into two halves, the first chapter breaks down the science behind the effect nutrition can have on fertility while the second half features 60 inspiring and achievable recipes. As well as advising couples trying to conceive, Ro Huntriss explores the potential to optimize fertility for those looking to conceive later in life, challenging traditional notions of when a woman should ideally conceive, and offering women more choice. This is an inclusive, fully researched nutritional guide, for anyone looking to conceive, whether they are starting their journey to conception, are experiencing reduced fertility, or those looking at alternative routes to fertility, such as IVF.
