How to triple IVF chances of success

23.09.2013

Avocados and olive oil help women having the fertility problem, say researchers. Foods typically eaten as part of the Mediterranean diet help triple the chances of success for women trying to have a baby through IVF.

A study found monounsaturated fat - found in olive oil, sunflower oil, nuts and seeds - was better than any other kind of dietary fat for would-be mothers. Those who ate the highest amounts were 3.4 times more likely to have a child after IVF as opposed to those who ate the lowest amounts. In contrast, women who ate mostly saturated fat, found in butter and red meat, produced fewer good eggs that could be used in fertility treatment.
 
US researchers behind the study believe that monounsaturated fats - which are already known to protect the heart - could improve fertility by lowering inflammation in the body.
