Yes, nutrition plays a key role in fertility and this is confirmed by a variety of scientific studies! According to the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF), a BMI (body mass index) above 30 or below 20 can affect fertility. An optimal fertility prevention and treatment is complemented by a nutritional approach, given its proven relevance and according to numerous published studies.
-A BMI below 20 can affect the functioning of the FSH and LH hormones responsible for regulating the ovulatory cycle. In these cases it could interfere and block ovulation and therefore affect the outcome of, for example, an oocyte puncture.
-On the other hand, obesity in women is also associated with ovulation problems. Being overweight can alter the maturation of the ovarian follicles and this translates into poorer oocyte quality.
