Avocado and olive oil deliver monounsaturated fats to support hormone production. Balanced with fiber, healthy fats, and protein to stabilize blood sugar which is essential for hormonal health and sustained energy during pregnancy.

5. Berry Blast Smoothie

For busy mornings, this is a perfect prep ahead and take on-the-go option! Oxidative damage in sperm can be due to exposure to environmental toxins, lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol), poor diet, heat exposure (like in a sauna or hot tub), and chronic stress. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can protect sperm against DNA damage and improve overall sperm health. Eating more vitamin-C rich food, such as kiwi, is a great way to boost your antioxidant intake.
