Pregnancy & Fertility
Optimal perinatal nutrition is essential to a healthy baby.
Nutrition is Key
Eating an unhealthy diet during pregnancy not only increases the risk of maternal complications but places the growing fetus at risk of developing long-term, irreversible health issues including obesity, blood sugar dysregulation, and elevated cholesterol.
Adopting a healthy eating plan before pregnancy is ideal, but it’s never too late to start no matter how many weeks are left on your countdown.
Nutrition can play an important role in altering fertility-related outcomes in both men and women. Stress, BMI, level of physical activity, and other chronic diseases such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia can also alter reproductive health. Healthy lifestyle changes can enhance conception and improve fertility treatment success.
