Get pregnant-naturally!

The Fertility Diet reveals startling new research from the landmark Nurses' Health Study, which shows that the food you eat can boost your fertility. The book prescribes 10 simple changes in diet and activity that can increase your chances of getting pregnant. These changes include:

• Cutting back on red meat and trans fats
• Getting protein and iron from veggies and nuts
• Choosing whole-fat milk and even ice cream
• Drinking coffee, tea, and alcohol in moderation
• Losing weight (if needed) and exercising

The Nurses' Health Study exhaustively examined the effects of diet and other lifestyle changes on fertility among nearly 20,000 female nurses. Two of the study's lead researchers translate its groundbreaking findings into changes you can put into practice today, setting the stage for a healthy pregnancy and forming the foundation for an eating strategy that will serve you well for the rest of your life. The Fertility Diet also offers a week's worth of meal plans and delicious recipes that will make following the guidelines easy and tasty.

Good book

Good book I really enjoyed it. A little outdated but still helpful. I would buy the hard copy.

Helpful

Great Book .. I’m going to read it again … tons of applicable information, really helps me to understand where I might be able to improve my overall health and lifestyle and especially diet, exercise regiment

Helpful but goes into too much detail

You really only need the highlights from this book if you understand basic nutrition. Super interesting, but I listened to it at 1.5x speed. If it was a print book I probably would have skimmed it. Narration is clear, and the information is good. Nice to see a diet backed in solid science.

Lots of useful information

This book had many ideas for simple adjustments with informative explanations on the whys and how’s they will help on the fertility journey. I was pleasantly surprised by the ones I had been doing and excited to try some of the others. Definitely recommend!
