Lavanya Manokar, a nutrition and hormonal health coach, discusses the very sensitive topic- fertility and pregnancy. At a time when infertility has become a personal and public health issue in India and even in the world, Lavanya Manokar shares some methods and tips that help you to improve your fertility rate. But before knowing the method and tips let us know about fertility and the factors contributing to infertility.

What is fertility?

Fertility is the ability to create a child. The fertility rate is the average number of children born during an individual's lifetime and is quantified demographically.

Causes of infertility or reduced fertility:

• Ovulation Problem
• Endometriosis
• Poor egg quality 
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome
• Fallopian tube problems
• Premature ovarian insufficiency
• Unexplained infertility

To get rid of all these problems, Lavanya Manokar prioritizes breakfast meals for several valid reasons. Here, she shares some important key points.

Breakfast is important for fertility for several reasons:

Balanced Diet: Eating a nutritious breakfast makes sure you get a good balance of macronutrients and micronutrients which are important for reproductive health. 

Controlling Hormones: Breakfast helps to balance hormones like insulin and cortisol, which can affect fertility. Stable blood sugar levels, achieved through a balanced breakfast, are critical for hormone balance.

Energy Levels: Early breakfast gives you the energy that is needed for daily activities, including reproductive functions. Having enough energy supports the proper functioning of reproductive organs and hormone production.

Improved Egg Quality: Some research suggests that eating breakfast regularly may improve egg quality, which is critical for healthy pregnancy.

Stress depletion: when you start your day with a healthy breakfast it helps to reduce the stress level of an individual.

Folate Consumption: Also known as Folic acid, contains a good source of minerals like B6 and B12. Sufficient folate consumption is important for reproductive health and reducing the risk of neural tube defects in the baby.
