You must be in optimum health to be able to get pregnant. Diet is one way to be in good health but mostly ignored.
If you want to get pregnant you should be eating a lot of protein. These are found in meat, fish, poultry and dairy products. Protein improves egg production so lack of protein will lead to improper egg production.
It is best to avoid eating soya because it has some contraceptive properties. You should also avoid caffeine. Taking more than a cup of coffee a day can decrease your chances of getting pregnant. You may rather try herbal teas instead.
In addition, drinking water, at least two litters daily and taking multivitamin supplements also help boost your chances. There are specially formulated supplements for pregnancy. You can look for them. Your diet should contain zinc, essential for healthy menstrual cycles, and selenium which can boost your fertility.
Flavors are not the best for you if you want to get pregnant, and also additives like aspartame and monosodium glutamate.
Choose fresh foods and vegetables instead of processed ones which contain chemicals that prevent pregnancy.
Men should also drink enough water because semen is made up of fluids – largely water.
The bottom line is that good diet is good for getting pregnant.
