What we eat has an impact on every cell in our bodies and when trying to conceive, our diet can play a pivotal role in helping to speed up the time it takes to get pregnant. There are certain foods to avoid while trying to get pregnant and it is important to be aware of these so you can make informed choices.

<b>Caffeine</b>

Caffeine is not only found in coffee, but is present in black tea, soft drinks such as colas, chocolate and certain painkillers. The effects on the body if you are trying to conceive can be dramatic.

* Drinking just one cup of coffee daily can decrease your fertility and halve chances of conceiving in some women

* Women who consume large amounts of caffeine can find that it can be three times as difficult to conceive within a year than those who carefully watch their intake

* Men can also be affected. The quality and quantity of sperm can be reduced in those who consume caffeine

Meats

It is important to avoid those meats high in saturated fats as these can stimulate estrogen production, particularly if the animals have not been organically raised. Processed meats are also not to be recommended whilst trying to conceive as these can contain undesirable additives

Eggs

Although eggs are a healthy food for women trying to conceive, ensure you eat organically produced eggs as these are unlikely to contain chemicals which can have an effect on fertility

Dairy Products

Some dairy products are on the list of foods to avoid while trying to get pregnant. On the whole, organic produce is fine as this does not contain chemicals and hormones which are generally used to increase production. Although organic yogurt is generally beneficial, some fruit ones have a high proportion of sugar and these should be avoided

Alcohol

Both partners should stop drinking alcohol when trying to conceive. It can effect the good working of the liver, which eliminates excess toxins and hormones and can affect sperm quality and quantity.

Naturally, knowing which foods to avoid while trying to get pregnant is only one half of the story, as it is just as important to know which foods you should be eating to ensure optimum health.
