LEITES, Sara y PEREIRA, Bárbara Beleza. DIET ON PRECONCEPTION AND FEMALE FERTILITY. Acta Port Nutr [online]. 2022, n.29, pp.64-69. Epub 06-Dic-2022. ISSN 2183-5985. https://doi.org/10.21011/apn.2022.2911.
Infertility has increased in the last years, affecting about 10% of the Portuguese population. The impact of medically assisted procreation treatments has enhanced the search for modifiable reproductive function factors. The aim of this review is to analyze the associations between diet, nutrition, and female fertility.
Both Mediterranean and Fertility Diet improve reproductive parameters in women and proper intake of antioxidants seems to protect reproductive function. On the contrary, the consumption of trans fatty acids, proteins of animal origin, carbohydrates, white meats, lean dairy products, fast-food, alcoholic, sugary and caffeine-based beverages decrease fertility.
Although woman’s age is a determinant of reproductive function and the associations are only partially understood, the change in diet remains one of the most promising interventions in fertility preservation.
