5. Increase your nutrients
A healthy body equals a more fertile body, so it’s important to nourish your body with the right nutrients if you’re looking to start a family. ‘As well as looking at what you eat and drink there is now a great deal of scientific knowledge about the use of nutritional supplements and their beneficial effects on boosting fertility. The most important nutrients for fertility are zinc, folic acid, selenium, vitamin E, vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids for you and your partner, plus two amino acids – arginine and carnitine, specifically for boosting male fertility,’ believes Marilyn Glenville, nutritionist and natural fertility expert, and author of Getting Pregnant Faster.
