What to Eat When You Want to Get Pregnant: A Science-based 4-week Program to Boost Your Fertility with Nutrition

Getting pregnant seems like it should be such a straightforward thing, but for many people, it’s not. While there are many factors that can affect fertility (age, body weight/makeup, personal habits such as smoking), less well known is how the foods we eat impact our chances of attaining pregnancy.

In What to Eat When You Want to Get Pregnant, doctor, scientist, and nutritional expert Nicole Avena explores just this subject, breaking down the most recent science on which foods boost fertility and which ones can be a hindrance. Readers (female and male) will learn about which nutrients they should be emphasizing in their diets to increase their chances of getting pregnant as well as what foods can be a good source of those nutrients.

Avena also includes a specially designed four-week eating program to help anyone boost their own fertility, which focuses not only on the best foods to eat but also on helping develop and maintain a healthy attitude towards food and eating in general. Readers will appreciate the many recipes offered to help implement this plan, including delicious-sounding options like Easy Turmeric Turkey, Sweet Potato, and Zucchini Bowl; Buffalo Cauliflower “Wings” with Avocado Aioli Dipping Sauce; and Salmon and Yukon Gold Potato Hash.

This book is an excellent resource for anybody who wants to be a parent!
