Foods To Avoid

Foods to Avoid to Increase Fertility .....


Foods that spike insulin levels such as simple carbohydrates and sugary foods can decrease fertility. This is especially important for women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Foods that balance blood glucose levels such as whole-wheat and high fiber foods, barley, oatmeal and some fruits and vegetables can increase fertility if the problem is due to insulin fluctuations.



Some foods can also cause imbalances in hormones in the body. Phytoestrogens are chemicals in plants that are converted to estrogen in the body. Xenoestrogens are found in meats and plant foods due to artificial hormones, pesticides and fertilizers. A fertility diet expert may recommend that foods high in these hormones be avoided. These include soya milk and soy products, yams, pumpkin, licorice, rice, processed meats and vegetables and fruits that were grown with artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
