Whether you're trying to conceive now or just thinking ahead and wanting to best prepare your body for optimal fertility, we know the journey can feel a bit dull or mysterious at times...We hear questions like this all the time:
"What can I eat to boost my chances of conception?"
"Do I need to worry about my diet if I still have to take the IVF or IUI route?"
And the answer is that your diet has a huge impact on your fertility, but rather than "worry" about it, educate yourself and get proactive! You can boost fertility with food! How you eat and how you treat your body now will affect your fertility journey, whether it's natural or medically supported.
To get you started, here's a spice you might already have in your pantry that will support your reproductive health and boost your chances of getting pregnant!
What is it? Turmeric!
This warming and bitter spice has been clinically proven to improve the vascular health of the ovaries, as cited by Dr. Drew Tortoriello of the SHER Institute for Reproductive Medicine. It is also powerful in decongesting the liver and acting as a natural anti-inflammatory, which are both important for your hormonal health.Ways to use turmeric:
- Use the ground, dried turmeric spice on your eggs, sweet potatoes, or in soups or stews
- Get a supplement like Turmeric Force by New Chapter
- Juice it! You can buy the whole turmeric root (looks similar to ginger root) and make a juice - check out Tera Warner's recipe here, or purchase our favorite pre-made Turmeric Juice here.
