Does anyone think the chemicals in our food affect the fertility??

Question

It seems to me a lot of young women on here are not conceiving easily.  Even though a lot of us have regular periods.  I'm wondering if preservatives or artificial colors we all grew up eating with the exception of a few super health conscious parents have contributed to what seems to be an epidemic of woman who should be very fertile having trouble getting and staying pregnant.  I know there are still those that are super fertile but seems to me most women don't conceive easily very often anymore unless they are very young say under age 24.  Just my two cents I haven't researched this but I work in a field where all I deal with is women and many had trouble conceiving even though doctors would consider them normal.

Answer

I definitely think so.

Answer

We hunt and eat most of our own meat but once in a while, we eat meat from the store. Also we eat stuff that's not good for us from the store. It's usually whatever is cheapest. I been trying five and a half or 6 years. I lost track and I don't really care. The goal is to get pregnant, not how long I been trying. I do believe it's what we're eating that effects us

Answer

No, when I became pregnant with my daughter, I was eating horrible! Lol. Not proud of it, we weren't trying though, but I didn't eat healthy. Maybe it just depends on some people, idk good question.

Answer

Yes! I notice a difference in the way I feel when eating more heavily processed foods.  I am by no means a clean eater, but try and eat more while foods and things that are more minimally processed or higher quality ingredients.  This along with environmental things can definitely have an impact on hormones.

Answer

The chemicals in our foods definitely make a difference. I'm a health coach and specialized in pregnancy nutrition and this was a huge part of the course. There are so many unnecessary chemicals and preservatives in food and our bodies cannot break down properly. Some of which, like Splenda, are actually poison at one point while being made. Not to mention how so much of our food is genetically modified now so that it doesn't have nearly as many benefits as it used too.

Answer

It was my first time trying it and I quite enjoyed it. My hormones were playing with my back, I was going to have them work on it afterwards til I stood up and felt no pain! It was an odd sensation at first but pretty amazing.
