We’ve read it enough that eating a healthy pregnancy diet aids in growing your baby, and looking after your own health throughout the 9 months of creation. But taking a step back, experts say that eating certain foods will also help increase your fertility.
fIt is one of the most powerful changes you can make if you are wanting to start a family or struggling to fall pregnant.
The benefits of adding these foods to your diet is all in the power of the antioxidants, vitamins and nutrients you find within them.
5 Amazing Foods To Help Boost Fertility
1. Sunflower Seeds
They may be but small, but they are mighty! Not only are sunflower seeds known to curb any food cravings, but they are jam packed with zinc, which is the most important nutrient for both male and female fertility.
They are rich in vitamin E, have anti-inflammatory properties and are high magnesium – which helps to reduce hypertension (high blood pressure). And better yet, you can enjoy them with chocolate in our Fruit & No Nut Chocolater ecipe (pictured above).
2. Spinach
Spinach is one of the richest sources of folate, a super important nutrient that helps form the baby’s spine once conceived.

It is also scores as a high source of iron, another extremely important aspect of your fertility diet. Try our Spinach & Ricotta Pasta Bake (pictured above).
