One in six couples around the world experience infertility. Before
undertaking expensive and intrusive assisted reproductive treatment
such as in vitro fertilization, many seek advice from their
physicians or dietitians on what foods and supplements might
enhance their fertility. But health practitioners are often ill
equipped to provide dietary recommendations in a scientifically
based manner. Nutrition, Fertility, and Human Reproductive Function
provides a comprehensive guide to clinicians on how they can best
advise their patients to optimise fertility and reproductive
function through optimal nutrition. Taking a holistic or
"whole-of-life" approach, the book reviews the role of nutrition in
human fertility and explores its effect on male and female
reproductive physiology. Problem-orientated topics are arranged in
chapters that each cover a specific clinical topic of interest,
allowing easy reference by the practicing clinician. From the
female perspective, the book covers the role of nutrition on
essential reproductive processes such as ovulation, early embryo
development, implantation, and sexual function, together with
nutrition's influence on the duration of the reproductive life
span. In the male context, it examines the effect of nutrition on
hormone and sperm production as well as sexual function. The book
also includes information on evidence-based complementary health
approaches such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and
naturopathy. This book draws on the wide experience of several
respected leaders in clinical nutrition who combine research
expertise with clinical insight. The information contained herein
will enable clinicians to make the best recommendations for their
patients for optimising fertility.
