Why is Diet Important?
Today's diet contains a lot of convenience foods and refined foods that have
been robbed of essential nutrients during the manufacturing process. Modern farming
methods also strip the soil of its natural goodness, meaning that fresh meat
and vegetables, for example, do not contain the amount of minerals and vitamins
that they should. Also if you have been dieting for years your body could be
deficient in a number of minerals and vitamins, which, combined with all the
additives, preservatives and pesticides in food, will compromise your ability
to conceive.

Why is Diet Important? (continued)
The human body needs high quality nutrition to produce healthy eggs or sperm.
A survey conducted in 1995 by a National Food Survey discovered that that
the average person in Britain was deficient in 6 out of the 8 vitamins and minerals
they looked at. Fewer than 1 in 10 people received the RDA (Recommended Daily
Allowance) for zinc, which is the most important mineral for both male and female
reproductive health.
At the Natural Fertility Centre we therefore recommend a
program of supplements specifically chosen to increase fertility (we use the
Dr Marilyn Glenville range of products) and an organic diet rich in complex carbohydrates,
essential fats (nuts, seeds and oily fish) and high fibre foods (fruit, whole
grains, beans, nuts and seeds.
