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 are strongly recommended, especially root vegetables. Chicken ginger 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 sore breasts, weight gain, uterine cancer, and moodiness with decreased libido. Adding DIM will counter these effects.

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

Attempt:

Eat a hot breakfast within an hour of waking up. For the oats, the 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 greens, sprouts, non-citrus foods, and cereal grasses like wheat and barley. Acidic foods include meat and dairy products. Chewing your food well will increase this through the alkalizing property of saliva. Do this instead of having a drink 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 raw 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 seed and flaxseed oils

Dark green vegetables.

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

Supplement your diet with a natural, high-potency multivitamin and mineral complex with iron, folate, 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 Western high-processing diet. If these nutrients were adequately 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. A 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, i.e. 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 complete B complex. (Viridian makes a B6 complex that has all the B vitamins with a strong B6 content.

Coenzyme Q-10 helps energy levels 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 toxin filtering function.
