Dietetics
Dietetics is a field that focuses on the relationship between food, nutrition, and human health. It encompasses applying nutritional science to promote health and manage diseases through dietary choices. Dietitians play a crucial role in healthcare and also help with ongoing fertility treatments. Let’s explore how.
What is Dietetics?
Dietetics may enhance fertility through proper nutrition. A well-balanced diet rich in essential nutrients can significantly improve reproductive health for both men and women.
Infertility affects approximately 9% of married women of childbearing age, and research indicates that nutrition and body weight can significantly impact the ability to conceive. Proper nutrition can regulate menstrual cycles, improve hormone balance, and enhance overall reproductive health. Therefore, understanding the essential nutrients that contribute to fertility is vital for those trying to conceive.
Key nutrients play a significant role in enhancing fertility for both men and women. Essential nutrients that support reproductive health include folate, iron, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin D.
To optimise fertility, individuals should focus on a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods.
