Anti-inflammatory nutrition for fertility

Your body is constantly trying to restore balance. Let's help it. 

Why it matters and how to do it right

When a couple wants to have a baby, very few people consider that inflammation inside the body can also influence fertility. Yet low-grade, chronic inflammation is increasingly common, and in many cases it quietly interferes with conception.

The good news? With the right diet, you can reduce inflammation, support hormonal balance, improve egg health, and even increase the chances of successful implantation.

– and what you can eat to reduce this invisible barrier.

🔥 What is chronic, low-grade inflammation – and how does it affect fertility?

Inflammatory reactions are a natural part of the body's defense system (e.g., when you have a cold or a wound) – and they are helpful. The problem begins when this inflammation becomes persistent without noticeable symptoms.

This state can:
• reduce egg quality,
• interfere with ovulation,
• make implantation more difficult,
• and increase autoimmune activity (e.g., in thyroid issues).

❌ What can cause hidden inflammation in the body?

✓ processed foods, trans fats
✓ excess sugar and refined flour
✓ food sensitivities (e.g., gluten, dairy)
✓ low vegetable and fiber intake
✓ stress, lack of sleep
✓ environmental toxins (plastics, chemicals)

 ✅ What can you do? – The basics of an anti-inflammatory diet

1. Eat more whole, nutrient-dense foods:

✓ leafy greens (spinach, kale)
✓ berries (blueberries, raspberries)
✓ colorful vegetables (bell peppers, beetroot, pumpkin)
✓ high-quality protein sources (fish, eggs, legumes)
✓ healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, nuts, omega-3s)

2. Reduce the following:

✓ industrial sugars and syrups
✓ white flour products
✓ processed meats and cold cuts
✓ alcohol and excessive caffeine

3. Drink enough fluids

✓ clean water, lemon water (a pinch of salt is okay)
✓ anti-inflammatory teas (chamomile, turmeric, ginger) – rotate them; chamomile can dry out tissues long-term

4. Support your gut microbiome

💡 Tip: Don't think of this as a "miracle diet" – instead, notice how much better you feel on anti-inflammatory foods.

This is not dieting. It is a lifestyle shift that helps your body return to balance. If you struggle with regular bloating, eczema, headaches, fatigue, or irregular cycles – these can all be signs of chronic inflammation.

Your body is constantly trying to restore balance. Let's help it.

Today, we tend to ignore our body's signals. We often "don't have time" to pay attention and simply take a pill when something hurts. Medication is wonderful and life-changing – and I am not anti-medication. But first and foremost, we need to support our body's natural mechanisms.

👶 Why is this especially important when trying to conceive?

Because an anti-inflammatory diet can:

• improve egg quality
• support endometrial health
• increase IVF success rates
• reduce miscarriage risk
• promote hormonal balance
