If you and your partner stick to a healthy balanced diet, you may be able to boost your chances of conceiving. Try to include the following:
-At least five portions a day of fruit and vegetables, preferably fresh
- Avoid Plenty of starchy foods, such as bread, pasta, cereals, protein and rice. Try to have one portion with each meal. If you can, choose wholegrain varieties, which contain more fibre.
-Some protein, such as lean meat and poultry, fish, eggs and pulses (beans and lentils). Aim for two portions a day, or three if you are vegetarian.
Fish should make up about two portions a week.
- Have some low-fat dairy foods, which contain calcium. Aim for three portions a day, one portion being a yoghurt or a glass of semi-skimmed milk.
- Some iron-rich foods, such as red meat, pulses, dried fruit, bread, green vegetables and fortified breakfast cereals. These build up your resources of iron in preparation for
pregnancy.
