What are the best fertility allies for breakfast?
In general, you should favor foods with a relatively low glycemic index (GI). try to look for antioxidants, Omega 3 and vitamins. "It is also quite good to increase the proteins, whether animal or vegetable, as well as the minerals that we will find in fresh fruit juices for example," said the specialist. "I also recommend adding some almonds, sesame seeds, nuts, hazelnuts ... In short, oilseeds which will bring flavor to yogurt or fruit for example, play a role in the effect of satiety and contribute to a better fertility thanks to their high content of fibers and minerals, but also for their contribution in omega 3 and antioxidants ", she adds.

The cereals :

On the cereal side, white bread, pastries in abundance, cookies or sweet cereals which have a high GI should be avoided. You can promote whole grain products, such as natural oats or whole grain cereal bread that contain carbohydrates.

Dairy products :

For dairy products, whole milk is recommended. It will not gain weight but it contains more good fats, better for the ovaries. Concerning vegetable milks like soy or almond, they can have a taste interest but they must be consumed in very large quantities to provide the same nutritional richness as sheep's milk or goat's milk, for example, which will also be easier to digest. than cow's milk.

The fruits :

Red fruits which have a strong antioxidant power are ideal. They will gradually erase toxins that can harm fertility. Fruits rich in vitamin B9 (also called folic acid or "folates") like banana, kiwi, melon, apple, orange or even lychee are also very good, not to be overlooked before conception. but also during pregnancy. For fruit juices, they must be fresh, otherwise they lose all their benefits.

What about coffee? Tea ?

You’re ready for food. But how to accompany all these good foods? In the morning, you are not against a good cup of coffee. Can it be harmful? "Everything is a question of measure. Coffee or tea are not to be completely eradicated if you want to get pregnant. If they are consumed reasonably, there is no reason. And that is valid even if we are not trying to have a child. One or two cups a day will not harm even during pregnancy, "she said.

Example 2: A toast of buttered wholemeal bread, jam, kiwi, cottage cheese and sesame seeds

Example 3: with a savory breakfast: A grape juice, bran bread, a slice of gouda (whole milk, if possible) and raw fish
