Infertility and Diet
Within the design of a woman’s body is the mechanism that if you are too fat or too thin, menstrual periods become messed up or stop. This makes getting pregnant difficult or impossible. It is a good plan and allows women with a healthy amount of body fat to conceive easier and gives the baby an optimum environment to develop well.
