1. Pasture-Raised Eggs: Eggs are rich in nutrients that give your body the best chance to conceive a healthy baby, including “good” cholesterol, choline, DHA, B-vitamins, and vitamins A, D, E, and K. When trying to conceive, eggs are one of the most fertility-friendly foods we can eat.
2. Grass-Fed Beef: Rich in highly absorbable forms of iron, choline, zinc, and B12, grass-fed beef is a fertility powerhouse. Make sure to skip factory-farmed, grain-fed beef. Conventional animal products are pumped full of antibiotics and hormones. Grass-fed beef contains more antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fats, as well as the healthy type of cholesterol that is critical for hormone production.
3. Wild Salmon: Wild salmon is an excellent source of protein, omega-3s (especially DHA), iodine, and choline, which are all critical for fertility. Wild-caught salmon is richer in important nutrients and contains significantly fewer contaminants than farm-raised salmon.
4. Grass-Fed Butter: Grass-fed butter is another healthy source of cholesterol. Eating natural foods that contain cholesterol will not increase your body’s cholesterol levels in an unhealthy way. Whether made by the body or consumed through the diet, healthy cholesterol is essential for maintaining fertile hormone levels.
5. Avocados: Rich in vitamins and monounsaturated fats, avocados contain many nutrients that are important to create a healthy baby. Phytonutrients can help prevent cell damage and improve the quality of the uterine lining, and monounsaturated fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels, decrease inflammation, promote regular ovulation, and help your body absorb vitamins.
