The Perfect Plate.

Time for some myth busting - there is no perfect plate when it comes to eating for fertility but there are a few things we can think about putting on our plate in order to optimise our chances and also potentially influence the long term health of our future children. ⁠

Got Veg?⁠ Most of us are not eating enough vegetables every day. Where can you add in some more to try and get a rainbow of vegetables and fruit into your daily diet?⁠ ⁠

Got Protein?⁠ We've all heard the saying “proteins are the building blocks of life” so make sure you're getting adequate protein for your own daily needs. Variety is key so go heavy on the plant protein and when you do(if you do) eat animal protein make sure it's from a good source - wild salmon, grass-fed grass-finished beef, organic chicken, etc. ⁠ ⁠

Got Wholegrains?⁠ Ditch the refined carbs and get some good nutritious unrefined wholegrains and complex carbohydrates on to your plate. e.g. beans, sweet potatoes, quinoa, barley, brown rice, buckwheat. ⁠ ⁠

Got Fats?⁠ Think wild salmon, walnuts, avocados, olive oil, chia seeds. ⁠
