The Fertility Diet. Jorge Chavarro & Walter
Willett, $20.95
It’s common knowledge that diet and exercise

Fertility
Foods: Optimize Ovulation and Conception through Food Choices.
Jeremy Groll & Lorie Groll, $22.00
Research has shown that there is a powerful link between insulin
resistance and fertility problems. Resistance to insulin increases
the body's insulin levels, hindering normal ovulation either by
limiting the maturation process of the released egg or by preventing
ovulation altogether. High insulin levels can also impede the fertilized
egg's ability to attach to the uterus, leading to implantation failure
and miscarriage. Women with insulin resistance problems are four
to five times as likely as other women to suffer miscarriages.
Fertility Foods offers an insulin-reducing diet based
on balancing protein and complex carbohydrate intake to create insulin
levels most conducive to ovulation, including nutritional charts,
food suggestions, and recipes. Also included is an exercise program
that enhances insulin metabolism and keys to developing emotional
support system.
