Soft Scrambled Eggs + Herbs
Consuming eggs can positively influence fertility outcomes due to their rich nutritional profile, which supports reproductive health in several ways:
High in Protein: Eggs are a great source of high-quality protein, which is essential for the development of healthy cells, including reproductive cells like eggs (ova) and sperm.
Rich in Choline: Eggs, particularly the yolk, are one of the best natural sources of choline, a nutrient critical for brain development and reproductive health. Adequate choline levels have been linked to improved ovulation and healthier fetal development.
Vitamin D: Eggs provide vitamin D, which plays a crucial role in hormone regulation, including those involved in reproduction. Studies suggest that higher vitamin D levels can improve fertility, especially for women undergoing fertility treatments.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Eggs, particularly from pasture-raised chickens, contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are anti-inflammatory and promote healthy reproductive function.
B-Vitamins: Eggs are rich in B vitamins like B12 and folate. Folate (vitamin B9) is especially important for preventing neural tube defects during early pregnancy and is linked to better fertility outcomes in women.
Antioxidants: Eggs contain antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect cells, including reproductive cells, from oxidative stress that could affect fertility.
These nutrients create a supportive environment for both female and male reproductive health. In women, they can promote healthier egg production and hormonal balance, while in men, they can improve sperm quality and count.
