25 Foolproof Strategies to Boost Your Baby-Making Power
2. Prioritize Plant-Based Proteins for Ovulatory Health
For women, substituting a small percentage of animal protein with plant-based alternatives can significantly improve ovulatory fertility. Studies suggest replacing just 5% of total caloric intake from animal protein (especially red meat) with vegetable protein sources like beans, lentils, tofu, and nuts can reduce the risk of ovulatory infertility by over 50%. The mechanism is complex but may involve differences in growth factors and hormonal responses associated with various protein types. This shift is not about going fully vegetarian, but strategically choosing plant power for a more consistent ovulation cycle.
