The Infertility Diet


BOSTON (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Ten percent of infertility cases are unexplained. Could nutrition make the difference? There is a compelling link between trying to have a baby and what you eat. Here are some ways you can improve your chances of becoming a parent by changing your diet.

It wasn’t easy for Fern Reiss to build her family. After she and her husband Jon had their first child, they had infertility and miscarriage problems that lasted 3.5 years. "Right at the point where I was probably about to go see a doctor I started researching whether there were medical solutions, nutritional solutions, and I found over 500 medical studies that linked fertility to food," Reiss says.

Reiss collected those studies and wrote a book called “The Infertility Diet: Get Pregnant and Prevent Miscarriage." The diet is endorsed by many nationwide including the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Michael Ganz, Ph.D., assistant professor at Harvard School of Public Health, says, "It’s probably very helpful for women who are not eating correctly, and this may increase their chances of becoming pregnant."

And what you think may be healthy may not be, at least when it comes to conceiving a child. Reiss says: "Anybody who is trying to get pregnant should avoid milk. There was a study done at Harvard that showed the more milk you drink the less fertile you become."

The Infertility DietReiss has many success stories to share including her own. She and her husband followed the diet for two months, got pregnant and eventually added two healthy children to their family. One of Reiss’ favorite success stories comes from a 46-year-old Texas woman who got pregnant only a few months after going on the infertilty diet. The woman had a healthy baby girl.
