Can specific foods enhance fertility for pregnancy at 30?

Hi, I'm a 30-year-old female trying to conceive. Are there particular foods or nutrients that can boost fertility and improve my chances of getting pregnant?

Answered on 22nd July '24

When trying to get pregnant, it's important to eat a variety of healthy foods. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat meats in your diet. Foods with folate, like green leafy vegetables and legumes, are helpful. Don’t forget iron and calcium. Drinking lots of water and having a balanced diet can also boost your fertility.

i am 17 years old and i was found as a pcos person in my 12 years of age and now i am having regular periods from 4 to 5 months but i want to know about the diet plan which i can include in my daily task and exercise as well espicially for hair

Female | 17

In terms of diet for PCOS and hair, try to include a balanced diet made up of a lot of fruits, green vegetables, and whole grains in your meal. Avoid sugar and junk food in your diet. Regular physical activities also assist with PCOS symptoms. On the other hand, for your hair, you should eat a balanced diet with adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, which is found in nuts and legumes, such as lentils, zinc in chicken and sardines, and iron in red meat and spinach. Remember, drinking enough water is also important.

Can i have Limcee 500mg VitC tablet everyday? I am not into any medication

Female | 19

Taking Limcee 500mg of VitC every day is perfectly okay. Your body's immune system is more powerful against infections thanks to the vitamin C, and your skin remains in good condition. Vitamin C deficiency may result in you feeling fatigued and frequently getting ill. A daily dose of one tablet would be really good for you. But it is also good to eat fruits and vegetables that are high in vitamin C as well.

I've heard a lot about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. What are some good dietary sources of omega-3s, and how much should I be consuming daily?

Female | 28

Dietary food sources of omega 3 fatty acids are : Flaxseeds, chia seeds, egg yolks, salmon (Indian rawas) , mackerel (Bangda). But as a therapeutic diet expert, I would always recommend taking omega 3 fish oil supplement. Daily requirement is 1g which means you will have to take 3 capsules to get your requirement fulfilled. For people who have lot of inflammation, diabetes, arthritis, thyroid or any infection in the body, the requirement can increase upto 2000 (6 capsules) to 3000 mg (9 capsules) of omega 3 to reach 50% of the optimal range. My everytime and best brand : Nutrilite Salmon Omega 3 capsules. ✅

My mother is suffering with diabetes. She has been said to limit rice consumption. We're eating white rice in home. However,as we have heard from youtube that brown rice is good for diabetes now we switched to this.Will it make consequences in the future if over consumed?

Female | 50

Brown rice is surely a better option for diabetes than white rice which consists of more fiber and nutrients than brown rice. However, regardless of the kind of rice consumed, overconsumption can result in high blood sugar levels. Be careful to balance the number of portion sizes with other healthy foods like vegetables and lean proteins. If your mother goes through health conditions like drinking more water than usual, using the restroom frequently, or being tired all the time, it is necessary to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

Male | 28

Eat 5000 calories e­very single day, problems may arise­. High-calorie intake leads to issue­s: weight gain, blood pressure spike­s, diabetes risk increase­s, heart troubles deve­lop. Consume nutritious foods instead - fruits, and vege­tables provide vitamins, lean prote­ins build muscle, and whole grains give fibe­r. Avoid sugary drinks filled with empty calories. Also, unhe­althy fats are detrimental.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?

Female | 33

A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

I am underweight and have low iron i wanna improve it as due to it i frequently get sick easily like 2 or 3 in month I did reports for iron and hemoglobin Iron level is 74.4 and hemoglobin is 10.7 ( it droped it was nearly 14 ) And for my weight I am 38.60 and height is 5'2 feet

Female | 16

It's important to address your low weight and iron levels, as they can lead to symptoms like fatigue and frequent illnesses. Low iron often results from inadequate dietary intake or absorption issues. To improve your situation, focus on incorporating iron-rich foods such as leafy greens, legumes, lean meats, and fortified cereals into your meals. Pair these with vitamin C sources like citrus fruits to enhance absorption. Additionally, consider small, nutritious snacks to help increase your weight healthily. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice and potential supplementation to ensure a safe and effective approach.

It's concerning to hear about your low iron levels and weight. Symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and frequent illness often arise from these issues. Causes may include inadequate nutrition, absorption problems, or underlying health conditions. To improve your situation, focus on a balanced diet rich in iron sources like lean meats, beans, and leafy greens, along with vitamin C for better absorption. Consider eating more calorie-dense foods to support weight gain. It’s essential to consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance and possible iron supplements. They can help create a tailored plan to enhance your health effectively.

I was drinking a hot coffee but accidentally bird poop dropped into the coffee and i didn’t’ Recognise and take 2 - 3 sips. Please suggest

Male | 28

Consuming a relatively foreign item by accident can be a cause of concern, but it is important to stay calm. The symptoms to look out for include nausea, digestive problems, and fever, which could be a sign of any infection. The mere presence of bird droppings may potentially harbor pathogenic organisms, but it normally takes a heavy exposure to cause illness. Be sure to drink enough water and observe your health condition. If you experience any unexpected symptoms or are not feeling well, please get in touch with a doctor. Such professionals are capable of giving you the right pieces of advice based on your situation. Do not forget, in the first place, your health is the main thing.

I am 23 years old female and I’m under weight, I’ve tried so many weight gain syrup but none worked for me. What should I do?

Female | 23

It's important to know the cause of you being underweight. It may be a result of you not eating enough or a medical problem. A doctor can assist you in determining the reason. Try to eat more high-calorie foods such as nuts, avocados, and cheese. Additionally, strength training exercises can be a way to achieve muscle mass. Also, ensure that you are hydrated and sleep well enough.

How much sucralose % used in plant protein powder by companies? And it is safe or not.

Male | 27

Sucralose is frequently added to plant-based protein powders in the form of small amounts in order to make it taste sweeter and not cause any extra calories. Previously conducted research has shown that sucralose can be a safe option for most people if its use is not abused. On the contrary, there are few people who might undergo digestive discomforts such as bloating, and gas when sucralose is consumed. In case you notice any weird symptoms after taking in such products, the wisest move is to lower the dose and to see a doctor.

How long we should use plant protein powder?

Male | 27

It's a good idea to use plant-based protein supplements, especially if you are trying to improve your diet or participate in fitness activities. For the most part, they can be safely integrated into the diet by trying them for some weeks or even for a couple of months. If you experience abdominal pain or bloating while consuming plant-based proteins, it is best to either decrease the amounts you are taking or change the protein sources.
