As part of preparation for in vitro fertilization, special attention is paid to adherence to the principles of proper nutrition, because this can significantly affect the successful outcome of the procedure.
The principle of a protein diet for IVF is as follows:
- Proteins and fiber as the basis of nutrition
- Vegetable fats are recommended only in limited quantities
- Animal fats - exclude from the diet
- Carbohydrates - reduce consumption
Reproductive specialists at the K+31 medical center prescribe a diet taking into account the individual health characteristics of each patient.
In addition to changes in nutrition, a woman must adhere to general healthy lifestyle standards: follow a sleep schedule, consume the recommended amount of liquid (about 2 liters), and exercise moderately.
When planning artificial insemination, it is worth giving up bad habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol, as well as following a variety of strict diets to maintain a slim figure. Fasting inhibits the reproductive functions of the egg and significantly reduces the chances of a successful procedure.
Why is it necessary to consume more protein than usual? Because it is the foundation for the cells, organs and tissues of the body. It takes part in vital processes in the body, which allows you to avoid some complications and diseases.
A protein diet before IVF involves eating the following foods:
- Lean meat and poultry help avoid ovarian hyperstimulation
- Dairy and fermented milk products improve digestion, contain calcium in a form that is easier for the body to absorb
- Quail eggs are preferable, as they are rich in vitamins
- Fish contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which help prevent heart disease
- Nuts, dried fruits, seeds are rich in vitamin E and vegetable fats
-
Fruits and vegetables, raw or slightly processed, enrich the body with vitamins. They contain fiber, which is good for health, and promote normal digestion:
- It is worth paying special attention to pineapple. The fruit contains the enzyme bromelain, which is especially useful during the IVF procedure
- Spinach and greens are rich in folic acid. This substance is necessary for conceiving and bearing a healthy fetus
- Oils: olive, flaxseed, corn help in the prevention of thrombosis
- Berry, fruit, vegetable juices saturate the body with antioxidants, which helps strengthen the immune system and the walls of blood vessels
Foods to exclude
A protein diet involves the complete or partial exclusion from the diet of dishes that are rich in:
- Carbohydrates, since their excessive consumption can provoke fermentation in the stomach, which creates discomfort
- Animal fats due to the fact that eating food with a high content of them creates an additional burden on the pancreas
- Fried, spicy, sour, peppery, salty, smoked dishes irritate the gastric mucosa. The normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is disrupted, the removal of waste and toxins is difficult
- Food, in the process of preparation of which preservatives, synthetic colors, flavors are used, reduces the likelihood of conception, has a significant impact on the development of the fetus, worsens overall health, causes gas formation
For the above reasons, experts recommend refraining from consuming:
- Coffee, tea
- Alcoholic and carbonated drinks
- Store-bought juices and fruit drinks
- Canned food and pickles
- Sausages and semi-finished products
- Vegetables rich in starch - potatoes, corn, beans, peas
- Pastries
When following a diet, it is worth using recipes in which products are offered to be steamed, baked, stewed or boiled.
Eating with a protein diet can have a number of negative consequences for the body:
- Limiting fats in food leads to deterioration of hair, nails, skin
- It turns out that there is an additional burden on the kidneys. But increased consumption of purified mineral water will help to cope with this
- The diet has contraindications. It is not used for women suffering from diseases of the heart, kidneys, liver, stomach
Reproductive specialists of the K +31 medical center will help to create a protein diet menu for IVF, which will have a positive effect on the patient's condition. A natural, varied, balanced diet rich in protein will increase the chances of successful embryo implantation, reduce the risk of fetal malformations, and improve the mother's well-being during pregnancy.
Self-medication and ill-considered dietary restrictions can be harmful to health. It is always worth consulting a doctor for a preliminary consultation.
