A study recently published in Human Reproduction, the academic journal from the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, suggests that a woman’s fast food and fruit intake may alter her chance of becoming pregnant.
Through the examination of 5,598 women, this research observed that those consuming higher amounts of fast food and lower amounts of fruit took longer to conceive and had an increased risk of infertility than those consuming more fruit and less fast food.
More specifically, women eating fruit only 1-3 times a month were found to take 19% longer to conceive and exhibited a 29% increase in the risk of infertility, compared to those who consumed fruit more than 3 times a day. Women who rarely or never consumed fast food were shown to take 24% less time to conceive while also exhibiting a 41% reduced risk of infertility compared to women that consumed fast food 4 or more times a week.
This study highlights the importance of a preconception diet for women hoping to become pregnant or looking for pre-pregnancy guidance. In addition, this research could lead to helpful tactics for those struggling to build a family of their own.
