Acupuncture is now widely used to help with infertility. Chinese medicine also uses nutrition in conjunction with acupuncture to increase fertility. Here are some tips to increase fertility:

Hot cooked foods, especially tubers, are strongly recommended. Ginger chicken soup is often recommended in China for women trying to conceive.

Add vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. These foods contain di-indolymethane (DIM) which increases the metabolism of estradiol (a form of estrogen) which will help the body use it more efficiently. Excess estradiol is associated with breast pain, weight gain, uterine cancer, and moodiness with decreased libido. Adding DIM will counteract these effects.

Balancing blood sugar levels will help with hormone regulation and energy levels. This involves cutting back on high carbohydrates, foods that rapidly release glucose in the body. These include white sugar, cookies, cakes, sugary drinks, too much fruit, cereals, bread, pasta, caffeine, and alcohol.

Attempt:

Eat a hot breakfast within an hour of waking up. For the oatmeal, quinoa and one or two boiled eggs.

Have protein with every meal.

Don’t skip meals.

Google GI Foods and choose foods with a low GI index.

Eat more alkaline foods than acidic foods for a better pH balance for conception. Eat alkaline foods like vegetables, sprouts, non-citrus foods, and cereal grasses like wheat and barley. Acidic foods include meat and dairy products. Chewing food thoroughly will increase this through the alkalizing property of saliva. Do this instead of drinking something at mealtime. Avoid large meals late at night.

Always try to use organic plant sources, these are stronger in Qi and essence, which is important in Chinese medicine for fertility.

Get plenty of essential fatty acids from whole plant sources and deep-sea fish.

These are essential for the health of our cells and are crucial in ovulation.

Good sources include:

Fish and fish oil.

Eggs.

Soy products.

Raw nuts and seeds.

Pumpkin and flax seed oils

Dark green vegetables.

Avoiding junk food, getting plenty of healthy exercise like yoga or tai qi, long walks, etc. is essential. and more important than anything else… Relax.

Supplement your diet with a high potency natural multivitamin and mineral complex with iron, folic acid, and B vitamins.

Vitamins and minerals important for reproductive health (vitamin A, C, E, B-complex, zinc, and selenium) enhance fertility, but are lacking in the usual high-processed Western diet. If these nutrients were properly supplied through the diet, many fertility problems could be avoided. Other accessories to consider are the following:

Folic Acid – Extremely important and should be taken as soon as possible. Lack of folic acid can impair the early development of the fetal nervous system.

Bee pollen and/or royal jelly are regenerating and toning.

Blue-green algae, namely chlorella and spirulina, nourish the endocrine, nervous and immune systems, regulate metabolism and repair tissues.

Wheatgrass is invigorating and improves immunity and restores hormonal function.

Vitamin B6 recommended for hormonal function. It is best to take the full B complex. (Viridian makes a B6 complex that has all the B vitamins with a strong B6 content.

Coenzyme Q-10 helps energy levels go to work in the powerhouse of cells.

I would recommend starting with a mild detox program for 7-10 days to improve your chances of fertility. This will help the liver in its function of filtering toxins.
