How Salmon May Help Your Fertility
If you ask me, salmon has got to be one of the tastiest pieces of fish. Baked fresh in the oven with a bit of salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Yummmm.
But salmon has a LOT more going for it than just being tasty? It is an AMAZING source of protein for when you’re trying to conceive as it’s FULL of omega-3 fat, both of the DHA and EPA types.
Just take a look…
And unlike other fats that aren’t that great for your fertility (looking at you saturated fats!), Omega-3 is known to be pretty amazing for when you’re trying to get pregnant.
For starters, Omega-3 can…
– improve egg quality
– reduce the risk of ovulation problems
– boost the chances of conceiving after IVF
What’s not to love 🙂
