The Bad News: Statistics showed 30 percent of women in their early 40s experience infertility.
The Good News: according to the groundbreaking study on fertility and diet, with lifestyle and diet changes, the baby may still come along!
The Harvard Study revealed five critical lifestyle and diet behaviors that impact both fertility and aging, here they are:
Critical Factor 1: Carbohydrates - Slow verses Fast!
KEY OBSERVATION - Since fast carbs disrupt the finely tuned balanced of hormones needed for reproduction, just think how they may affect other hormonal issues!
Critical Factor 2: Fats - Natural verses Artificial!
KEY OBSERVATION - There has been a big push to eliminate trans fats from both processed and fast foods. Your elimination of trans fats from your diet and replacing them with natural fats will go a long way to improving your overall health and wellness!
Critical Factor 3: Fats - Protein - Animal or Plant!
KEY OBSERVATION - Animal protein doesn't just adversely affect fertility. Current research shows that it has a direct influence on cancer!
Critical Factor 4: Body Weight - Your BMI!
KEY OBSERVATION - Weight doesn't just affect women. Overweight men aren't as fertile as normal weight men. Excess weight lowers testosterone levels and hinders sperm production!
Critical Factor 5: Exercise - Is It Important?
KEY OBSERVATION - Exercise not only improves fertility but also improves how you look and feel about yourself. This translates to improved health and wellness and will reduce your biological age!
The Harvard School researchers found that fertility problems affect one in six couples. Ovulation disorders have been identified in up to 30 percent of infertility issues. The women who followed these five critical lifestyle and diet behaviors were approximately 80 percent less likely to have infertility from ovulation disorders than women who followed none of the behaviors.
