Diet for pregnancy

Yes Yes. Do not be surprised. That is the usual change in your diet can help you in the conception of the long-awaited heir to the family. Honestly, I am very surprised that, in spite of numerous studies in this field, it still has not shout at every turn. It's so easy!

No bills for millions to doctors and clinics reproduction, no hormones and costly and painful procedure of IVF you... you can change your diet to include certain vitamins and minerals in the form of dietary supplements, and the result will not wait.

What is the essence and why it works

The thing is the hormone insulin, which is secreted by the pancreas and, above all, designed to stabilize blood sugar. It also affects all the other hormones and their proportion. In including the sex hormones and stress hormones.

To the pregnancy, need mature egg, which would more and went out of his hiding place (ovary).

Studies also suggest that elevated levels of insulin is disrupted oocyte maturation process and hindered her from the ovary.

In addition, increased insulin interferes with normal development of the pregnancy has already begun, and it suddenly interrupted or even before the hostess found out about his position or a little later (in the first weeks).

For men, the increase in insulin levels significantly affects the quality of sperm, as it lowers their level of testosterone.

Therefore, a decrease in blood insulin for both women and men significantly increases the chances of conception.

Why insulin rises

The fact is that when blood flows too much glucose, it is an urgent need to sort by destination - deliver into cells. This is why the brain sends a signal to work out insulin, which is like a key to open the access of glucose into the cells. The more glucose, the more insulin.

At some point in our lives can come crashing. If we for a long time, carefully ate a lot of food, processed into glucose, when all cells are simply filled, they begin to lose sensitivity to insulin. Therefore glucose in the blood starts to wander, and the brain perceives this as a lack of insulin. As a result, it produces even more insulin (hyperinsulinemia), which disrupts hormonal balance throughout the body. Thus there is a condition called insulin resistance (immunity cells to insulin).

That is why, in order to hasten the onset of pregnancy, you start to eat so as to stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels.

By the way, if you want to avoid pregnancy, I do not advise to do everything exactly the opposite, as will be described below. Increased insulin may be preliminary stages of type II diabetes, and also increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

IMPORTANT: glucose - it's not just sugar. The fact is that in a lot of glucose is processed foods that contain different forms of sugars (monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides).

In order not to spread here all the information on the biology and chemistry, I would say simply:

Everything, even the most useful and necessary carbohydrates, processed eventually into sugar, which requires insulin. Fats are processed into fatty acids, and proteins - into amino acids. Neither one nor the other does not disturb the balance of blood sugar.

But fruits, milk sugar, flour, cereals, honey, sweets and dried fruits reflected on sugar in the blood, and therefore increase the level of insulin.

Pleasant exception - berries. They can be eaten in unlimited quantities. Though they are sweet, but do not raise blood sugar levels.

Oddly enough, even sugar substitutes raise insulin levels. After all, the brain deceived by their sweet taste! So if you drink or Cola Light Cola Zero, the sugar blood grows with insulin. The only exception - stevia. According to the studies available to date, it is the only sweetener that does not disturb the balance of sugar in the blood.

On a diet, which should be followed in order to get pregnant

No, no, give up carbohydrates completely, as in the Atkins diet or Dukan diet, not necessary. Yes you have and never will. In nature everything is balanced and there are almost no products (with the exception of processed type of sugar and vegetable oil), where there are proteins and fats, but no carbohydrates.

Quality carbohydrates plays a very important role. The small volume of the category 'Cereals' is necessary to fill the mind. Simply put, choose only whole grains: Whole-wheat pasta, they are brown (Not to be confused with hard varieties of wheat), brown and multicolored rice, buckwheat, black and whole grain bread instead white. And do not forget to remain within this norm.

Diet will need to be constructed so as to avoid spikes in blood sugar. To do this, you must observe the following proportions in the separation of the plates:

• 1/2 diet - vegetables (except potatoes and corn);
• 1/6 - good quality fats (cold-pressed oils, butter, nuts, seeds, avocados, fatty cheeses);
• 1/6 - proteins (meat, fish, chicken, beans);
• 1/6 - cereals and starchy foods such as potatoes and corn.

If you reduce the category of "Cereals" even more, the result will come even faster.

Fruits also have to severely limit - up to two per day. In this case, they should be sure to have with the products from the category "Fats" to avoid spikes in blood sugar.

Many people I suggest a diet, worried that "one can not completely exclude carbohydrates." But full of carbohydrates in vegetables! They're just not as rapidly absorbed and converted into glucose. But it is what we favor. After all, so blood sugar levels remain stable for a long time.

What it is not recommended to decrease, so it is the category of "Fats". They saturate and contain essential fatty acids to us. If you are afraid to get better, then I hasten to reassure you: the less carbs you eat, the better your body burns fat. Even already accumulated. In addition, the fats slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, which leads to a slower release of sugar into the blood.

Many of my clients have not only successfully become pregnant, going on a diet, but also get rid of the extra kilos around the waist.

To make it easier to navigate in this system, I offer a visual aid:

A single word about alcohol, juices (even fresh) and soda. I do not want to upset you, but will have. All of these beverages should be excluded because of their glucose, never staying, gets directly into the blood stream at a very high concentration, which increases insulin levels through the roof. Indeed, liquid sugar needs no digestion!

What remains? Drink plenty of water and herbal tea. Or you can drink smoothies adding fat (vegetable oil or avocado). This trick will reduce the spike in blood sugar.

Vitamins that can help to get pregnant

Omega-3 fatty acids

Contained in fish oil, linseed oil, avocado. Positive effect on the cell membrane, thereby protecting cells from damage and making them more susceptible to coming glucose.

Vitamin A

It is a powerful antioxidant. It strengthens the immune system a beneficial effect on skin, hair, mucous membranes, eyes and protects us against premature aging. Enough quantity contained in multivitamin preparations.

With the onset of pregnancy is necessary to reduce the daily dose twice.

vitamin E

It is also a powerful antioxidant that protects our cells. Important for the proper formation of sex hormones and successful conception.

Vitamin C

One of the most important antioxidants. It strengthens the connective tissue and blood vessels, which is important for high load on these organs during pregnancy. It strengthens the immune system and effectively fights infections. It also improves the quality of sperm in men. It improves the digestibility of other vitamins and minerals in the body.

Magnesium

Mineral. Symptoms of shortage are: seizures, headache, constipation or stool at least once a day, fatigue, pain during menstruation, hormonal imbalance. Coffee, black tea and alcohol facilitate leaching magnesium from the body.

Magnesium improves digestibility of glucose and a positive effect on insulin level. In addition, without magnesium, many vitamins and minerals can not be processed by the body in the desired substance.

Zinc

Mineral. A direct impact on fertility, fetal health and development. Zinc deficiency causes lack of folic acid in the body, making it difficult to become pregnant. Zinc is very important for men, because it affects the quality of sperm. stresses contribute to the leaching of zinc from the body, so many people lack this mineral.

Chromium

Trace element that affects both the absorption of glucose, and the insulin levels. Lack of chromium leads directly to an increase in insulin. Chromium is quite difficult to get the right amount of food. In addition, the use of sugar in all forms contributes to the leaching of chromium from the body.

It is impossible to take a supplement for an extended period. It is necessary to take breaks in reception.

Selenium

A powerful antioxidant. It protects all cells of the body and, in addition, protects from chromosomal defects. It improves the quality of sperm.

What else can be done to stabilize insulin and pregnancy

Engage in moderate exercise. Let them be low intensity, but regularly - 5-6 times a week. The fact that physical activity improves insulin sensitivity in muscle cells. So, the insulin starts to work, and do not circulate in the blood.

Yes, I know that all of this will require you to self-discipline. It's harder than drinking pills from the pharmacy. After all, the rules are indeed many. But try it! Those who have given thousands of futile treatment, or simply have gone crazy from many years of hormonal preparations, understand. An additional bonus of a power supply system - this is a great skin and hair, cheerfulness, good sleep and reducing stress in the body.

How many wait for the result

It is very individual. Someone sees two cherished strips to test for pregnancy in 2-3 months, and someone needs more time. But it works.

Good health to you!
