AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) is a hormone that is primarily used as an indicator of ovarian reserve and fertility in women. While certain lifestyle factors and dietary choices can influence overall fertility, it's important to note that AMH levels are mainly determined by genetic and physiological factors. There is limited scientific evidence linking specific foods directly to an increase in AMH levels. However, maintaining a healthy diet can support overall reproductive health.
Here are some dietary
recommendations for promoting fertility and overall well-being:
Balanced diet: Focus on a balanced diet that includes a
variety of whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean
proteins, and healthy fats.
Antioxidant-rich foods: Include foods high in antioxidants,
such as berries, leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and colorful fruits and vegetables.
Antioxidants help protect cells from damage caused by oxidative stress.
Omega-3 fatty acids: Incorporate sources of omega-3 fatty
acids into your diet, such as fatty fish (salmon, sardines), walnuts,
flaxseeds, and chia seeds. Omega-3 fatty acids have been associated with
improved fertility in some studies.
Folate-rich foods: Consume foods rich in folate, such as
leafy greens, legumes, citrus fruits, and fortified cereals. Folate is
important for reproductive health and fetal development.
Iron-rich foods: Include iron-rich foods in your diet, such
as lean red meat, poultry, fish, fortified cereals, spinach, and legumes. Iron
supports healthy blood production and can be beneficial for overall fertility.
Vitamin D: Ensure adequate vitamin D levels through sunlight
exposure (in moderation) and consumption of foods like fatty fish, fortified
dairy or plant-based milk, and egg yolks. Vitamin D plays a role in
reproductive health.
Reduce processed foods and sugars: Minimize your intake of
processed foods, sugary snacks, and beverages. These items may negatively
affect overall health and hormonal balance.
The best approach to optimizing your fertility and
AMH levels is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, manage stress levels, and
consult with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice
based on your specific circumstances.
