Unfortunately, no one superfood will make you more fertile. There are lots of old wives’ tales out there that will have you trying many different foods like yams or goji berries, promising increased fertility and your chances of getting pregnant. You don’t want these wives’ tales to get to your head. A much better approach is just becoming healthier overall, eating more vegetables and whole foods, and exercising regularly. While the woman needs to do this, it is equally crucial for the male to do this for both health reasons and support.

It is also important to be taking prenatal supplements if you are trying to get pregnant. Taking prenatal supplements is high in folic acid, which is essential for a developing embryo. Higher folic acid significantly reduces the chances of any neural tube defects and helps develop your baby’s brain and spine. If it is a whole, healthy food that someone suggests to try, it doesn’t hurt. Just know that it is your overall health that will be the biggest factor. If you are struggling to conceive, speak with your doctor, and they will be able to help you with the steps you can take.
