whole grains, plant foods diet shown to reverse ovulatory infertility According to Harvard University researchers, ovulatory infertility, which is responsible for 1/4 or more of all infertility cases, may be treated, cured or reversed, by eating a diet of whole grains (slowly digested, complex carbohydrates) and plant-based proteins. The study points out, as well, the obvious bonuses such a simple course of treatment provides: it is inexpensive; there are no (negative) side effects; it sets the stage for a healthy pregnancy, as well as a healthy diet for life; and, it reduces the likelihood of the onset of gestational diabetes. Harvard's Nurses' Health Study found clear and significant links between the consumption of, 'fast carbs', trans-fats, and animal proteins -- with ovulatory infertility. Refined, white foods, with high sugar and simple carbohydrate levels, disrupt hormonal balances and natural cycles, by raising blood sugar levels. While trans-fats, even in modest amounts, were found to decrease rates of conception. Animal-based proteins, as well, did not approach the comparative degree of success of reversing ovulatory infertility as consuming those produced by plants. In full disclosure, the study found also that whole milk products (NOT skim or low-fat) seem to help women become pregnant. As healthy hormone levels are rebalanced, it would seem to make extra sense to invest in hormone-free, organic milk products. Finally, healthy body weight and moderate exercise were also found to be significant factors in raising fertility rates. However, even just moving in the direction of a more ideal weight was shown to reduce infertility. Once again, the vegan diet sings to be noticed. Allow the word in. vegan. You need not become Vegan (all the time), and unhappy, to event this love in the world. But every healthy, vegan decision made, improves the vitality and fertility of people and the planet. If you need a goal toward which to aim, think 80% vegan. Let that last, hardest 20% go, completely. But do, please support the more sustainable, and humane, animal-agriculture practices and products available to you, to complement your beautiful, plant-based diet. Thank you. namasté Posted 1/22/2008 link
