Iron-Rich Foods for your fertility
To prepare for pregnancy and enhance fertility, maintain a healthy weight and choose foods that will create a safe and supportive “home” for your baby’s nine-month stay.
A diet rich in iron that comes from vegetables and supplements may lower the risk of ovulatory infertility according to results from The Nurses’ Health Study II which followed 18,500 female nurses trying to get pregnant. Ovulatory infertility is only one cause of infertility and affects 25 percent of infertile couples.
Vegetarian foods with iron include:
- All types of beans, eggs, lentils, spinach, fortified cereals, long-grain enriched rice and whole grains.
- Vitamin C from citrus fruits, bell peppers or berries added to your meals to enhance iron absorption.
