Food for fertility: Beneficial Foods
with Sharon Noble ND
The
World heath organisation recognises that the fertility
levels of both male and female are on the down turn.
They suggest in a recent study that there are many factors
that effect fertility.
Such
as : Environmental stresses , pollution, more frequent
use of electrical and radiation energies. Increased
use of drugs, Diet and life styles.
This
article will look at the beneficial foods for fertility.
Foods that help to support fertility are ones that are
high in nutrients and low in saturated fats , preservatives,
flavourings and colour as well as sugar. A diet designed
for fertility should include high intake of protein,
vegetables and nuts. Low in simple carbohydrates and
processed food, deep-fries and food with high content
of sugar or acid.
Below are examples of some Foods for fertility.
Broccoli
- high in folate helps to reduce homocystine level
which is linked to miscarriage Folate also helps to
reduce the chance of having babies with spinabifidus,
improve libido and help with energy levels. Other green
leafy vegetables such as snow peas, beans, spinach,
kale and zucchini are also high in micronutrients essential
for good cells formation as well as providing relief
from oxidative stress in the body.
Proteins
- such as Fish at least 4 times a week. Try to avoid
sword fish and large pieces of tuna as these are supposedly
high in mercury. Other protein sources such as Red meat
and chicken (preferably organic as many stock animals
are treated with antibiotics, growth hormones etc that
leave residues in their fat) are also beneficial.
Iron-
essential for haemoglobin synthesis thus energy levels
and a low iron level can cause fatigue, poor immunity,
cold sensitivities, digestive disturbances and dizziness.
Iron comes in the form of two key types heme iron(blood
products) red meat or non heme iron ) non blood products
- vegetables. A combination of both is best. Note that
too much iron is a bad as not enough and can cause damage
to many organs. Iron supplement should only be taken
under supervision of a practitioner processing medical
and nutritional qualifications.
Zinc
one of the most important nutrients in fertility as
it helps with both the development of the ova(egg) and
sperm also essential for good brain function, DNA and
RNA synthesis and immune function. This is usually one
of the most misrepresented nutrients. It is easily antagonised
thus effecting absorption. It is best taken on it's
own last thing at night in a liquid form. ALWAYS get
a zinc check before taking Zinc as toxicity can cause
side effects and hide other nutrient deficiencies. A
great source of Zinc is Almonds and sunflower seeds.
The zinc in most multivitamins is usually not readily
absorbed or is antagonised out by other nutrients.
There
are many more nutrients and dietary requirements that
can improve your chances of conception. To contact Sharon

Remedies for your joints
The
medieval German herbalist Hildegard of Bingen wrote,
‘Whoever is plagued by arthritis should powder celery
seeds because this is the best remedy’. Hildegard knew
what she was talking about, as it is now confirmed that
celery seed has a range of actions that are beneficial
in arthritic states, the major one of these being that
it is a mild diuretic and digestive tonic. Supporting
digestion is important in arthritic states, as a deficient
digestion that leads to inadequate elimination of toxins
from the body can contribute to the condition. The diuretic
action of celery increases the elimination of uric acid
through the kidneys, which makes it useful in all rheumatic
conditions, particularly gout
While
herbs have been around for hundreds of years as arthritis
relief, a new natural substance has been gaining much
popularity in treating the condition. Glucosamine is
manufactured by the body and is a simple molecule composed
of glucose and an amine (nitrogen and hydrogen). The
effect of glucosamine on joints is to stimulate the
manufacture of glycosaminoglycans, which are key structural
components of cartilage. This cartilage is intimately
involved in the strength and integrity of joints.

Phone Line
A young businessman had just started his own firm. He
had just rented a beautiful office and had it furnished
with antiques. He saw a man come into the outer office.
Wishing to appear the hot shot, the businessman picked
up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal
working. He threw huge figures around and made giant
commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor,
''Can I help you?'' ''Yeah, I've come to activate your
phone lines.''
