5 Superfoods to Boost Fertility In Men and Women

Green leafy vegetables

Green leafy vegetables are rich in two important nutrients, folic acid and vitamin C, which help in the ovulation process. Intake of green vegetables reduces the risk of miscarriage. Even for men, green veggies have proved to help in the production of high-quality sperm.

 Nuts and dry fruits

A handful of nuts and dry fruits can give you high quantities of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Walnuts can reduce chromosomal damage in eggs, further increasing the fertility, as it contains a lot of selenium.

 Quinoa

Loaded with fibre, plant-based proteins such as quinoa improves conception chances. It not only regulates the menstrual cycle but also stabilizes blood sugar levels. 

 Pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin seeds are a rich source of zinc and it helps to increase testosterone, semen levels, and produce mature cells. These seeds can also stimulate sufficient blood flow to all reproductive organs.

Bananas

Bananas are high in vitamins B6, C, and potassium. Vitamin B6 aids in zygote formation by modulating hormones. Potassium and vitamin B6 deficiency leads to poor egg and sperm quality.
