How healthy eating could STOP you getting pregnant

How healthy eating could STOP you getting pregnant. Could a healthy diet reduce a woman's chances of getting pregnant?

That's the worrying conclusion of new research that shows eating foods high in fibre may damage fertility.

The findings show high-fibre foods such as wholemeal bread or pasta may disrupt a woman's hormone balance.

Fertility fears: Eating too much fibre could prevent women becoming pregnant

The more of these foods women ate, the lower their levels of hormones vital for the reproduction process.

Researchers from across the U.S. came up with the results after following 250 women of childbearing age for a two-year period.

They not only found that hormones dropped with high fibre intake, but that there was an increase in something called anovulation.

This is when a woman goes through a menstrual cycle but her ovaries fail to release an egg.

It was already known that anovulation occurs when hormone levels drop due to extreme exercise, anxiety or stress.

But this is believed to be the first study highlighting the dangers of a healthy diet. ( dailymail.co.uk )
