Dairy

For the lactose-tolerant among us, reach for whole milk or other full-fat dairy foods (such as yogurt) instead of non-fat and low-fat dairy to support fertility. "We found that the more low-fat dairy products in a woman's diet, the more trouble she had getting pregnant," says Walter Willett, M.D., a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health and one of the study's authors. That's because a high intake of low-fat dairy has been shown to raise the risk of ovulatory infertility compared to high-fat dairy.

On the flip side, if you're having continued trouble conceiving, you may want to consider limiting dairy from your fertility diet plan altogether. "We're being exposed to dairy in mass quantities that's more hormonally-driven, meaning the production of cow dairy has become very chemically manipulated," Vitti says. "These excess hormones may disrupt the conversation that the brain is trying to have with the endocrine system, particularly your ovaries." Just make sure you consult your doctor about the best ways to supplement your calcium intake if you decide to temporarily ditch dairy.

It's also a good idea to boost your yogurt intake, ideally homemade or Greek-style. Why? The probiotic microbes may be instrumental in boosting pregnancy health. Researchers published a study in Cureus that found that probiotic-rich yogurt may have benefits for pregnancy, such as improving metabolism and reducing premature birth.
