Below are some super fertility foods to add to your cabinet.
MACA
Is a Peruvian herb known for its ability to deliver energy, balance hormones , increase mental clarity and enhance sex drive. Many believe that it can even reverse hypothyroidism. It is an endocrine adaptogen, meaning that it does not contain any hormones, but rather it contains the nutrients necessary to support normal hormone production.
Maca has also been used as a way to increase fertility (and I can vouch for this personally!). It is naturally “high in minerals (calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc), up to 20 essential fatty acids, lipids, fiber, carbohydrates, protein, and amino acids.
ALMONDS
The fats found in these foods are actually good fats. These fats are not trans fats or saturated fats, but are monounsaturated fats, and they help the insulin in your body to function correctly, thus balancing hormones and increasing your chances of conception.
LEMON
Lemon is a great fruit because it is loaded with vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and antioxidants. First and foremost, drinking water already does wonders for fertility. Without to much TMI -Water thins out mucus and increases it as well. And cervical fluid is very important in conception. Without cervical fluid, the sperm won’t be able to reach the egg.
