Monounsaturated fats and omega 3 fatty acids can decrease inflammation in the body, helping to promote ovulation and overall fertility. These fatty acids also aid in increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs, aiding in implantation, and additionally can help regulate reproductive hormones such as luteinizing hormone, testosterone, and insulin.

Nutrition plays a critical role in hormone regulation, and by extension, reproductive health. The foods we consume directly influence key processes such as ovulation, oocyte quality, and overall reproductive function. The impact of nutrition on reproductive health begins as early as fetal development and continues throughout life, making dietary choices an essential factor in promoting fertility. The Mediterranean diet may improve ovulatory function and reduce the time to conception.
