Flax seeds and pregnancy: getting pregnant             

You can find plenty of anecdotal evidence regarding flax seeds and pregnancy that indicates that ingesting a suitable dose of flax seeds each day increases the chances of getting pregnant. More research is however necessary before we can know for sure whether a viable link between flax seeds and pregnancy actually exists, and if so, how flax seeds affect the fertility of women.

What we do know for sure already is that a healthy life style that includes nutritious food in suitable amounts promotes fertility – it makes it easier to get pregnant and it reduces the risk of a troublesome pregnancy for the woman as well as for the foetus. An improper diet that causes obesity, underweight or some type of malnutrition will on the other hand reduce the chances of getting pregnant and increase the risk of encountering problems during the pregnancy.

Everyone needs a certain amount of fatty acids in their diet to stay healthy, and flax seeds are a great source of a fatty acid called Omega 3. Omega 3 and Omega 6 are to type of beneficial fatty acids that the human body must obtain from food. The problem is that eating these acids are not enough; you have to make sure that you keep a proper balance between them. Our modern westernized diet tend to have high amounts of Omega 6 and low amounts of Omega 3, and this imbalance increases the risk for a series of health problems. Recent studies have also indicated that it might affect our ability of getting pregnant. A lack of beneficial acids have been shown to induce irregular ovulation in women and this can in turn lead to problems for couples who are trying to conceive. Really skinny women who cut out all possible sources of fat from their diet are now turned away by many IV fertilization clinics world wide because the doctors know from empirical evidence that the risk of failure is so great when these women go through fertilization treatments.

Flax seeds and pregnancy: Male fertility?

Flax seeds and pregnancy is not a factor that concerns women only. Studies have shown that a lack of fatty acids in a man’s diet can lead to a low sperm count as well as low sperm viability. There is therefore a strong link between flax seeds and pregnancy that should be taken into account by couples who are trying to conceive.
