Fertility Diet - Types of Fat Effect Fertility and Infertility

Healthy Diet is always important for all people in any age and even more important for a couple trying to conceive. Most couple can conceive naturally without changing their diet at all, but for some couples, conception may require some determination and affords, especially if you have tried to conceive after a few months without success. Is fat important? Many people view all fat are bad. Indeed, some fat are bad and some are essential for maintaining our body activity, including hormone balancing, such as essential fatty acids Omega 3 and 6.

1. Mono-unsaturated fats
Mono-unsaturated have only one double bond between 2 carbon atoms in the chemical chain and the rest of the carbon atoms are single-bonded, therefore, mono-unsaturated fatty acids have a higher melting temperature than polyunsaturated fatty acids but lower than saturated fatty acids and it is liquid at room temperature. Since our body can not produce them, we have to take them regularly.

2. Poly-unsaturated fats
Poly-unsaturated fats contains 2 or more double bonds in the chemical chain. Since it is one hydrogen atom deficits on the molecule's surface, leading to significant lowering melting temperature than other fats. It is also liquid in the room temperature and contains most important essential fatty acids Omega 3 and 6. Since our body can not make them, we have to take them regularly.

3. Saturated fats
Saturated fat contains only saturated fatty acid radicals. Chemically, in saturated fats every member carbon atoms is surrounded by maximum number of hydrogen as a straight chain with all atoms packing together tightly.

4. Trans fats
I try to find the good of trans fat, unfortunately there are none. By adding hydrogen to the vegetable oils and eliminating some double bond in their chemical structures, it makes the oils solid at room temperature. Trans fats raise bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower the good cholesterol (HDL) and it can be found everywhere, including margarines, fast foods, vegetable shortening, baked foods, packaged foods and frozen foods.
