What's the Best Diet When Trying to Conceive?
QUESTION:
Dear Livitician,
My husband and I are 32 years old, and we have been trying to conceive for about 6 months. I have recently started to take a hard look at my diet, as problems with diet could be leading to our lack of conception.I have read some studies citing the importance of including whole milk in the diet, and how low-fat and skim milks reduce fertility and can even be detrimental to conception. In contrast, I have also read that skim milk is important to include in a pre-conception diet. Which is accurate?
Ice Cream Equated with Better Fertility?
Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health have found that women who eat a lot of high-fat dairy foods -- like whole milk, cream cheese and yes, even ice cream -- may have better fertility than women who eat the low-fat versions of these products.
