Avoid trans fats

Women of reproductive age who desire to have children may find it particularly important to remove trans fats from their diet. Eating these unhealthy fats has been strongly linked to an increased risk for heart disease. They may also increase a woman's risk of infertility, according to recent studies.

However, because trans fats have a negative impact on insulin sensitivity, they raise the chance of ovulatory infertility. Trans fats are typically included in some margarine, fried foods, processed goods, and baked goods and are frequently found in hydrogenated vegetable oils. According to studies, a diet that is high in trans fats and lower in unsaturated fats has been associated with infertility in both men and women.
