Fertility problems linked to health
Fertility problems are soaring in the UK because couples are too unfit for pregnancy, according to new research.
One in seven couples in the UK will have problems having a baby, but experts predict this could increase in the next decade.
Alcohol, smoking and poor diet could be helping fuel the rising rates of infertility, according to the survey.

Stacey's comment:
It is so important to educate patients on the importance of improving their health when they are trying to conceive. Poor cellular health means that the body is not getting enough nutrients to sustain the health of the cells and remember the females eggs and the males sperm are cells. Poor health of the cells can either be the result of a poor diet or poor digestion. Poor digestion may be due to stress, taking over the counter medications or prescribed medications, smoking, alcohol consumption and also the result of a poor diet. A person can have a good diet and poor digestion if they are stressed, if they take any synthetic medications either over the counter or prescribed, and if they smoke and/or drink alcohol.
At our clinic we are constantly educating patients on how they can improve their diet and improve the absorption of nutrients into their system which will improve the health of their eggs, sperm, and endometrial lining.
Starting with a low glycemic eating plan is a great beginning. Cutting out trans fats, sugary drinks, soft drinks, and high glycemic carbohydrates will go a long way to improving your health.
I recommend staying away from Unfermented soy secondary to the controversy that surrounds unfermented soy and fertility. Also work with your naturopath to help improve your gut health to make sure you are absorbing the nutrients from your good diet.
And whenever possbile eat organic as studies have shown that organic foods can have up to 88% more nutrients when compared to regular store bought foods.
