The probability of rapid conception increases significantly if the body of the parents is healthy and provided with the necessary amount of vitamins and minerals. Is it possible to balance proper nutrition by accelerating the physiological process of fertilization, what foods will help you get pregnant faster?
It is possible to hope for a natural miracle of conception, but if the task is to get pregnant faster, it is worth using all available and simple ways to speed up the process. Proper nutrition, a balanced diet and a daily menu rich in vitamins will allow you to enjoy motherhood much faster.
Proper nutrition when planning pregnancy
Conception, pregnancy and childbirth are natural processes, which, at the same time, will require support from the hormones, endocrine and reproductive systems of a man and a woman. A balanced diet allows you to speed up the process of conception, you only need to know what and how much to consume.
Weight: norms and deviations
The diet and amount of food depends in part on the initial weight of the woman or man. So, excess weight affects the excessive production of estrogen, inhibiting the required amount of another hormone - progesterone. Under the influence of such an imbalance, there is an insufficient increase in the endometrium in women, as a result - absent or unstable menstruation.
Ideal weight for conception for women: up to 35 years old, height from 170 cm - 70-75 kg, up to 170 cm weight is equal to the last two digits in the measurement, for example, a woman's height is 156 cm, which means ideal weight - 56 kg. For men, the norm is on average 10 kg more than for women of similar height.
What foods help you conceive quickly
There is no specific product that would have an impact on the possibility of conception. Everyone has individual characteristics, needs and physical data. The calculation of proper nutrition is selected individually by a nutritionist. But, nevertheless, some individual products must be present in the diet of a person who intends to continue the race.
Lack of estrogen in adolescence forms the underdevelopment of female germ cells, organs, infertility (infertility) appears.
Protein food is necessary for the proper maturation of male sex hormones - androgens. For female sex hormones - estrogens, products containing fats, an animal protein base, as well as nucleic acids are also indispensable.
Unlike male germ cells, which are synthesized by follitropin and lutropin during puberty, female gonadotropins (sex cells) are secreted cyclically in full. Therefore, at different stages of the menstrual cycle, there is a certain need for a particular trace element.
For quick conception, it is necessary to enrich the diet of a married couple:
- low-fat sea fish, seafood enriched with iodine;
- milk-containing products, fermented milk products (preferably self-prepared);
- buckwheat;
- broccoli, cauliflower;
- spinach and greens;
- oysters and mushrooms;
- salmon.
If you consume enough foods rich in natural vitamins, prophylaxis with medicinal vitamins is not required. Moreover, the body receives and accumulates more vitamins from foods than from ready-made synthesized vitamin supplements. In general, it is customary to distinguish food products by importance into “male” and “female”.
Healthy Foods for Men
When adjusting the diet for conception, men need to choose those foods that are familiar to the body, you should not get carried away with exotic vitamins and overseas products.

The content of vitamin C, zinc, selenium and molybdenum contribute to the improvement of the motor function of sperm. Copper increases the amount of germ cell formation. The antioxidant lycopene found in tomatoes helps improve sperm concentration. Protein provides the structure of cells.
Nutrition for women
The diet for women should also be enriched with beneficial vitamins of natural origin. Since there is a certain need for specific vitamins at different stages of the menstrual cycle, the guardians of the female reproductive system are as follows:

- 2nd phase (or from the beginning of ovulation to the release of the egg before menstruation): vitamins E, B6, C;

If there is an irregular cycle, vitamin tablets are additionally prescribed. In general, the course of treatment with dietary nutrition is 3 months.
