drewnesbitt4:43pm via HootSuiteLow intake of antioxidants are associated with poor semen quality in men! 1.usa.gov/sSchD1#fertilitychat What’s your man eating?!

RosAstaire4:43pm via TweetChatRT @HaveAMassageRS: Was told to increase our nuts intake to increase Omega’s and proteins too!#fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:43pm via TweetChat@drewnesbitt we tried all sorts as seeing an acupunturist too as well as nutritionist but nothing helped him #fertilitychat

RosAstaire4:42pm via TweetChatRT @HaveAMassageRS: Porridge mixed with seeds is a healthy breakfast – releases slow energy and keeps you going until mid morning#fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:42pm via TweetChat@drewnesbitt did you know that dark choc is not as healthy as milk – something to do with sugar amounts but cocoa wise yes! #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:41pm via HootSuiteOne of my favs is 75% dark chocolate, watch your amounts but it is great and tasty! #fertilitychat

TTCfirstchild4:40pm via Twitter for iPhone@drewnesbitt Thank you #fertilitychat

TTCfirstchild4:40pm via Twitter for iPhone@HaveAMassageRS Oh good, I havnt been brave enough to try it yet  #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:38pm via HootSuite@haveamassagers Chinese herbs are a great option for improving sperm health…did you try that?bit.ly/rJtXui #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:37pm via HootSuite@TTCfirstchild Foods rich in folic acid – liver, lentils/beans, soy beans, asparagus, spinach, collard greens. #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:36pm via HootSuiteSome food that are high in zinc are pumpkin seeds, oysters, some seafoods, but watch the quality…#fertilitychat

TTCfirstchild4:36pm via Twitter for iPhone#fertilitychat I’m not a full onvegetarian but not a big meat eater, any suggestions to get plenty of folic acid etc?

TTCDreams4:36pm via HootSuiteRT @drewnesbitt: Food intake and its relationship with semen quality: a case-control study.1.usa.gov/gsxeps #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:35pm via web@TTCfirstchild I’ve found green tea to be quite ok actually #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:35pm via HootSuite@donielle Try 50mg of zinc in supplement form & do not go over 100mg per day from all sources…can upset copper balance. #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:33pm via TweetChatAlthough having said that nothing we did helped improve the semen as we still had ICSI in the end#fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:33pm via HootSuiteGreat advice! RT @donielle: Nutrient rich bone broth. An awesome super food! #fertilitychatinstagr.am/p/V1rOX/

drewnesbitt4:32pm via HootSuiteFood intake and its relationship with semen quality: a case-control study. 1.usa.gov/gsxeps#fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:31pm via HootSuiteWhile liver sounds terrible, it has 3 times more folic acid than any other item on my list! #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:31pm via TweetChat@donielle Hubby and I weren’t sugar rich people – it was only for coffee for me or tea for him which we cut to 1 cup a day #fertilitychat

donielle4:30pm via Twitter for iPhone@drewnesbitt I was told today I need more zinc. Advice? Beyond foods do you have supplement recommendations? #fertilitychat

TTCfirstchild4:29pm via Twitter for iPhone@HaveAMassageRS I certainly agree, unless u want to pay an awful lot more for things!#fertilitychat

donielle4:29pm via Twitter for iPhone@HaveAMassageRS careful- to much fructose can overwhelm the liver as it ends up there basically undigested. #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:28pm via HootSuiteVariety is always best, so I don’t a fav for vitamin E, just try and eat as much as you can and sample to see what you like. #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:28pm via HootSuiteFoods rich in folic acid – liver, lentils/beans, soy beans, asparagus, spinach, collard greens.#fertilitychat

donielle4:28pm via instagramNutrient rich bone broth. An awesome super food!#fertilitychat instagr.am/p/V1rOX/

HaveAMassageRS4:27pm via TweetChatB-complex for ladies and zinc for men too!#fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:27pm via HootSuiteCONT Foods rich in vitamin E – raw sunflower seeds, swiss chard, almonds, kale, papaya, olive oil. #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:26pm via HootSuiteVitamin E can help with both male and female fertility…I often prescribe 400IU per day in supplement form. #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:25pm via TweetChatIts very hard in the UK to find organic for all that is listed in your list #fertilitychat

TTCfirstchild4:25pm via Twitter for iPhone#fertilitychat Green tea is supposed to b a good substitute for ordinary tea, never tried it myself tho!

drewnesbitt4:23pm via HootSuite@ttcfirstchild I know! Organic Peaches are a tough one for me, especially living in a cold climate…#fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:22pm via TweetChatRT @TTCfirstchild: Join the #fertilitychat happening right now! Talking diet and fertility! #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:22pm via TweetChatWas told to stop regular sugarcane sugar and resort to fructose to sweeten anything like tea etc.#fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:22pm via HootSuite@donielle That sounds delicious! Not sure if I could eat all of it however! #fertilitychat

TTCfirstchild4:22pm via Twitter for iPhoneJoin the #fertilitychat happening right now! Talking diet and fertility!

donielle4:21pm via Twitter for iPhone@drewnesbitt soups are great for breakfast too! “normal” breakfasts foods ate to high in sugars, even if natural. #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:20pm via HootSuite@haveamassagers I know, and the list goes on… but hopefully the low pesticide list has some of your favs too #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:20pm via HootSuite@haveamassagers That is one of my favs as well! I will add avocado for extra healthy fats…yum!#fertilitychat

TTCfirstchild4:20pm via Twitter for iPhone#fertilitychat I can’t believe how many of the dirty dozen I eat regularly!

TheWombWarrior4:19pm via TweetDeck@drewnesbitt @donielle #fertilitychat I never realized there would be a fertility-related difference b/t fermented soy products and non.

donielle4:18pm via Twitter for iPhone@drewnesbitt breakfast: 2egg omelet w/ veggies,sausage,sauteed kale. Soaked oats w/ butter, cream, & maple syrup. Smoothies!#fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:18pm via HootSuiteThere are lots of non organics low in pesticides as well like, sweet corn, asparagus, avocado, mangos, pineapple #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:18pm via TweetChatsorry should say wholemeal and not wholewheat#fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:17pm via TweetChatscrambled eggs on wholewheat toast another good breakfast option #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:17pm via HootSuite@haveamassagers Love it! One of my favourites for sure! I will add freshly ground flax and berries to enhance flavour. #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:16pm via web@donielle Agreed…2 much soy (especially non-fermented types) can create problems. Miso, tempeh and tofu are better options. #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:16pm via TweetChatOMG your dirty dozen list is everyday general eaten food! #fertilitychat

TTCfirstchild4:16pm via Twitter for iPhone@drewnesbitt Grapefruit cud b good healthy brekkie! Also good for ovulation I believe!#fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:15pm via TweetChatPorridge mixed with seeds is a healthy breakfast – releases slow energy and keeps you going until mid morning #fertilitychat

TTCfirstchild4:15pm via Twitter for iPhone#fertilitychat Hello, how are you all? Checked out the dirty dozen list, quite  shocked by what’s on it!

HaveAMassageRS4:14pm via TweetChatI also love seeds too – hemp, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame and linseed too #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:14pm via TweetChat@drewnesbitt brazil, cashew, almonds, pistachio and macadamia – not all healthy but I don’t over indulge #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:13pm via HootSuiteI am looking for healthy, fertility-friendly breakfast ideas…what are your suggestions? #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:13pm via HootSuiteThe Dirty Dozen is all around pesticides when#TTC, buy organic for apples, celery, strawberries, peaches, spinach… #fertilitychat

donielle4:12pm via Twitter for iPhone@HaveAMassageRS soy milk can actually be bad for #fertility . Messes with the hormones.#fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:12pm via HootSuite@haveamassagers Nuts and seeds are great for healthy oils…what are your favourites? #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:12pm via TweetChattold to cut out tea/coffee and if we wanted tea then to have redbush tea. Normal tea bags are bleached so not good for you #fertilitychat

TTCfirstchild4:11pm via HootSuiteRT @drewnesbitt: Hello all and welcome to this week’s #fertilitychat! We are talking foods and fertility so bring your fav recipes and join in!

drewnesbitt4:11pm via HootSuiteBottom line, if you choose foods on the dirty dozen list – try to buy organic! #fertilitychat bit.ly/uKu22v

HaveAMassageRS4:10pm via TweetChatWas told to increase our nuts intake to increase Omega’s and proteins too! #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:10pm via HootSuiteFor those who love mashed potatoes on thanksgiving…you will notice they are on the dirty dozen list #fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:10pm via HootSuite@haveamassagers HHhmm interesting, Canadian water has always been fine, not sure about the UK#fertilitychat

drewnesbitt4:08pm via HootSuiteIf you haven’t read up on the “Dirty Dozen”, I suggest u check this out! bit.ly/uKu22v Stay away from the dirty dozen! #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:06pm via TweetChatAlso being veg, we used to eat a lot of QUORN products – again told to stop those too as not healthy #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:05pm via TweetChathubby was told to stop drinking cows milk too so we turned to Soya #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:05pm via TweetChatUK tap water has too many hormones in it that can impinge on fertility #fertilitychat

HaveAMassageRS4:04pm via TweetChatno recipes but was told here in the UK to not drink tap water but Volvic Mineral Water #fertilitychat
