4 Best Foods That Promote Ovulation
1. Beans, especially black beans(rich in phytoestrogen). The best time to eat it is starting from the day you finish your period (say day 5) to day 11 for about 6 days. This is the period when estrogen rises to support the development and maturation of healthy eggs.
2. Whole grains, especially oats, are rich in vitamins B and E. These vitamins are essential for cellular reproduction, the production of healthy eggs and sperm, and hormone balance.
3. Green leafy vegetables, lentils, and peas contain large amounts of folate. Folate is a nutrient that has been known to help the body make and maintain new cells. It also helps egg quality, therefore raising your chances of getting pregnant, staying pregnant, and preventing neural tube defects in the fetus.
4. Eggs contain essential fatty acids and amino acids that are important for reproductive function. They are valuable sources of protein, essential vitamins, and minerals, all of which can make a significant contribution to a healthy reproductive system.
