        NATURAL SOLUTIONS TO INFERTILITY: IMPROVING YOUR DIET

The food you eat has an impact on every cell of your body. This is why a healthy diet is so important, because it really can help you conceive and give birth to a healthy baby. But good nutrition doesn't have to mean giving up all the things you like. It just means being well-informed about food and making the right choices. In fact, once you start following the guidelines below, you may well find that you enjoy food more than you used to, especially when you consider how much good it's doing you. If you find it hard to think of recipes, there are plenty of healthy eating cookbooks available from bookshops and libraries. These are a great source of inspiration and ideas, and will prove that healthy food can also taste delicious.

Essential fats
Unfortunately fat has got itself a bad name, although it's actually only saturated fats that are harmful. Many women now consciously avoid all fats as a matter of course. But there are some fats which are vital for your health - and your fertility.
These are called essential fatty acids and they are found in foods such as nuts seeds and oily fish. These essential fats are a vital component of every human cell and the body needs them to balance hormones, insulate nerve cells, keep the skin and arteries supple, and keep itself warm.
Unsaturated fats can be divided into monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats are not classed as essential fatty acids. Olive oil is high in these monounsaturated fats, which are thought to lower the risks of heart attacks and other circulatory problems.
Polyunsaturated fats can be split into Omega 3 oils (found in unrefined safflower, corn, sesame and sunflower oils) and Omega 6 oils (found in fish oils and linseed or flax oil). The body makes beneficial prostaglandins (hormone-like regulating substances) from Omega 3 oils, so that is why they are particularly useful for increasing fertility.
If you are not getting enough of these essential fatty acids, you may notice symptoms such as:
• Dry skin
• Cracked skin on heels or fingertips
• Hair falling out
• Poor wound healing
• Dry, difficult hair
• Dandruff
• Irritability
• Soft or brittle nails
• Allergies
• Fatigue
• Hyperactivity
• Difficulty losing weight
• High blood pressure
• Arthritis
• Pre-menstrual syndrome
• Painful breasts
If you have several of the above symptoms they may also be due to thyroid imbalance which can also affect your fertility, so it is worth checking with your doctor.
To achieve a satisfactory intake of essential fatty acids, have a daily handful of nuts or use a salad dressing made with a good-quality nut or seed oil. You can also eat oily fish (such as mackerel or sardines) and take an essential fatty acid supplement.
