A Story that was published in the New York Times brought to my attention the question. Does “The Fertility Diet” Really work? Will eating a certain way improve your chance of getting pregnant. Well over the years many nutritionists have talked about how being healthy will improve your pregnancy even before you get pregnant. So is it really a far stretch?
The researchers say that a small portion of the woman tested did get pregnant after using “The Fertility Diet” but there was no proof that the diet directly was the cause of the pregnancy.
There are several skeptics when it comes to the diet and many questions that still need to be answered first however so far there are few reports of side effects from the diet. Remember that you should consult your physician before starting any diet.
The “Fertility diet” does give a little glimmer of hope for the women suffering with infertility. If you are interested in reading more on this book “The Fertility Diet” click here.
Stay Healthy!

New studies are showing that the BMI or (Body Mass Index) may not be enough. The study from Texas is showing that a hip-to-waist ratio may show clearer risk levels in the hardening of the arteries and can lead to a greater risk in heart attacks.
Their study was published at the end of August 2007 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Looking from a standpoint of one who loves sweets this may need further investigation. If you are interest in reading the article published by WebMd you can view it on the Heart Disease News center.
