Oh thanks Julietta warm foods, that's one I haven't heard. Does that mean no ice cream?

Hey Nellenium,

I have done a bit of research and yep, everything these ladies have said are super good for you!

I have recently been reading Zita West's book and she suggest warming foods are better than cold foods. So if you're going to eat salad, eat something warm with it.. don't drink iced drinks etc..

Not sure if it works but I found it an interesting concept! ]]> Sun, 21 Apr 2013 19:00:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43179&PID=5833129&title=baby-making-foods#5833129 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43179&PID=5833128&title=baby-making-foods#5833128 Author: Julietta

ha love all of the suggestions above, doing all of these, plus acai berries, flaxseed oil, spirulina/wheatgrass/barleygrass/chlorella...

"green with every meal" is my philosophy - meant to be good at getting alkalinity of your blood back to normal, which is good for processing of hormones in your system, helping your ovaries/adrenal system function properly and help with conception.

queue Dr Libby if you want to find out more..."rushing women syndrome" and "accidentally overweight" are books worth a read!

Another one I've heard is berries are good for swimmers, and they take 70 days to be 'made', so his diet should be considered about 2.5 months before conception.]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:49:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43179&PID=5831074&title=baby-making-foods#5831074 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43179&PID=5830998&title=baby-making-foods#5830998 Author: Nellennium

Hello, just wondered if anyone has a special 'diet' they use to help or have heard it will help in conceiving or other things?

I've read there's been study's on women who eat more protein than carbs who have had a higher conception rate (17% vs 83%).

And I've read about women who eat probiotics during early pregnancy to help prevent allergies in the baby, something about introducing live bacteria in early growth prepares the immune system.

Anyone else got any tidbits of information? I don't need facts, I'll try anything so long as it's not crazy ]]> Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:00:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43179&PID=5830998&title=baby-making-foods#5830998
