As we mentioned in previous articles, infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. It effects over 5 millions couple alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world. Because of an unawareness of treatments, only 10% seeks help from professional specialist.We have spent most of the time in this series discussing the conventional and Chinese medicine in treating fertility. I believe, it is the best time to change the subject by discussing the relationship between carbohydrate and fertility.
I. Definition
Carbohydrate is one of major nutrients, besides fat and protein, It is vital to maintain normal function in our body by continuing to supply energy (calories) for our body daily activities.
II. How carbohydrate effects fertility
1. Energy
Carbohydrate is main sources of energy that requires to nourish and maintain normal function of our body daily activity as resulting of our body carbohydrate synthesis. Deficiency of carbohydrate intake increases the risk of nervous tension, leading to fatigue, tiredness, depression and stress.
2. Nervous system
Our nervous system is required carbohydrate in maintaining its function in transmitting information and regulating the hormones secretion of glands, because the brain and neurons generally cannot burn fat and need glucose for energy. Deficiency of carbohydrate increases the risk of hormone imbalanc,e leading to distorting the normal process of conception.
3. Taking only low GI carbohydrate food
High GI food release glucose into blood steam quickly, causing fluctuation of insulin production of pancreas, leading to high blood sugar in the body that effects quality of egg in women and lowering sperm count in men.
4. Hormone imbalance
High levels of insulin caused by inability of pancreas in regulating the levels of sugar after intake of carbohydrate increase the levels of androgen produced by the ovaries, causing hormone imbalance and increasing the risk of abnormal ovulation infertility.
5. Blood flow
Long term intake of simple carbohydrate may effect the pancreas in secreting insulin, leading to insulin resistance and causing high levels of bad cholesterol and triglyceride in the blood stream, as the blood get thicker, resulting in diabetes and heart diseases, thus effecting the blood flow to the pelvic region and increasing the risk of sexual dysfunction and low quality sperm in men and obstructing the normal ovulation in women.
By selecting the food with low GI index complex carbohydrate, it not only helps to maintain the right levels of glucose in the bloodstream, but also increases the blood flow and energy in our body that are vital for a natural process of a couple to conceive.
