Diet and female fertility: a population-based study re-evaluating the need for prescriptive dietary patterns
Our data suggest that following a generally healthy diet is associated with improved female fertility, whether by adherence to low inflammatory potential diets, Mediterranean-style dietary patterns or national dietary guidelines. These findings suggest that general, guideline-based healthy eating can support female fertility and may offer a flexible alternative to more prescriptive dietary approaches.
