Diet and Infertility

When you are ready to start a family, following a healthy pre-pregnancy diet and lifestyle is one of the most important things that you can do. With all the information available, it can be confusing and even frustrating trying to figure out what pre-pregnancy diet tips are most important.


How do you even get the best information and avoid becoming overwhelmed ?

Infertility is a complex situation that is caused by a number of factors. Globally, 1 in every 7 couples experience some form of infertility. When it comes to infertility rate in India, approximately 40% of infertility can be attributed to female factors, 40% to male factors, and 20% to unknown causes.

Although over the last few decades, the science behind infertility treatment has progressed considerably, there is still a long way to go in terms of advancement. This means that we are still grappling with infertility and there are so many factors that are not under one’s control.
