Product Description
Product Description
Could having the occasional small bowl of ice cream lead to a midnight craving for pickles and ice cream?
It's common knowledge that diet and exercise have profound effects on your health. Can they affect your ability to get pregnant, too? Until now, the answer to that question was a qualified "Maybe." Today, it's "Yes!" thanks to exciting findings from a landmark long-term study of female nurses. As described in The Fertility Diet, ten simple changes in diet and activity can have profound effects on fertility. You can increase your chances of getting pregnant with such simple strategies as:- Avoiding trans fats
- Eating more beans, nuts, and other fertility-boosting plant protein
- Embracing whole grains such as oatmeal and barley
- Having a glass of whole milk or other full-fat dairy product every day (a small bowl of ice cream every now and then counts, too!)
- Staying away from sugared sodas
The Nurses' Health Study exhaustively examined the effects of diet and other lifestyle changes on fertility among nearly 20,000 female nurses. It scrutinized everything from alcohol to vitamins. In plain language, two of the study's lead researchers translate its groundbreaking findings into changes you can put into practice today, setting the stage for a healthy pregnancy and forming the foundation for an eating strategy that will serve you well for the rest of your life. The Fertility Diet also offers a week's worth of meal plans and fifteen delicious recipes.

In a field where there is a lot of hearsay and advice without evidence, finally comes this book from which the suggestions are rigorously evidence based from the well renowned Nurse's Health Study. Excellent.

My husband and I have both read this book to ready ourselves for conception- we haven't started trying for a baby yet, as we are giving ourselves the recommended three months to get used to our new lifestyle- and after reading this book I can honestly say we are completely prepared!
We've made some of the 'drastic' changes suggested- including no alcohol since New Year's Eve- and have lost weight immediately. The effects on our health have been fantastic following the dietary changes, which we have followed semi-rigorously (giving ourselves at least one day a week for a 'treat'!) My body feels the best it has in years. One tip- try to find organic chia seeds as opposed to flax seeds. They are great...and the colonic cleansing recommended is really, really uplifting!
Bottom line is, if you've got the willpower and the underlying wish to truly alter what needs to be altered about your lifestyle, you'll love the advice and encouragement given in this book. Thank you Sarah Dobbyn!!
