If you have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), lifestyle changes like eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, managing stress levels, and prioritizing sleep can help improve inflammation, insulin resistance, and androgen levels. These changes may play a role in improving your ovulation function and, therefore, your fertility.
A balanced diet that focuses on whole grains, healthy fats, vegetables, fruit, and fish, can improve fertility whether or not you have PCOS.
One large study found that females who ate a diet rich in plant proteins, full-fat dairy, monounsaturated fats, and iron had a 27-66% lower risk of infertility, depending on their medical history.
