Can Extra Virgin Olive Oil Boost Fertility?

By Katie Onson


When you think about an extra virgin olive oil diet, what are some of the unique attributes which spring to mind? Anything from antioxidants to essential vitamins may be thought of, which is understandable given the nutritional benefits said oil possesses. However, did you know that a diet like this stands the chance of boosting one's fertility rate? If a recent study is anything to go by, the value of this very product may very well increase.

According to an article on Daily Mail, extra virgin olive oil may very well be the most effective product in a "fertility diet." Basically, the diet consisted of the oil in question, an oil-based spread, and a daily supplement drink complete with vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. Each of these products were used in the diets of 100 couples being studied on. It's an interesting topic and it's one that should grab the attention of various authorities, Unaprol included.

The University of Southampton not only put this study together but said that, if it goes over well, fertility rates in couples could actually increase by up to 40 percent. I believe that this is especially important because of how much certain actions influence how fertile men and women are. For instance, someone who has taken anabolic steroids may very well have a lower rate than someone who never took them. To say the least, more positive actions should be looked into.

Along with the aforementioned diet, provided the study goes according to hypothesis, there are other ways in which fertility can be increased amongst couples. For example, exercise can be taken up more often, as weight gain seems to have a negative impact on birth, in addition to events related to it. In addition, reducing the amount of coffee and alcohol consumed can help matters. Switch to water, and stick with it, in order to keep fertility high.

No one can argue with the benefits that come from taking in extra virgin olive oil. After all, a product like this is one of the most helpful, from a dietary standpoint, and I am sure that others would be able to attest to this. However, I am sure that most would not have assumed the increase of fertility rates would have been present. It's important to keep this in mind so that the next time you go shopping, you'll understand the benefits of this product even further.
