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 fertility and essential fatty acid.
I. Definition
Essential fatty acids is also known as vitamin F, our body can not make EFAs, therefore we require to take them from foods. It contains 2 families EFA :Omega 3 and Omega 6
While one member of a family can convert to other members in the family, it can not convert to other family.
II. How essential fatty acid effects fertility
1. Blood flow
Prostaglandins E1 and E3 are derived from Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. While PGE1 helps to improve blood blood flow to the reproductive organ, PGE3 helps to protect our body against cells oxidation caused by inflammation,including the reproductive region, thereby increasing the chance of fertility.
2. Cold water fish
Cold water fish contains high amount of essential fatty acids, but it may have a colding effect that causes yang deficiency according to transitional Chinese medicine if you like Japanese shusi. It is advised that you should take some "warm" and 'hot" foods to neutralizing it. Otherwise, it may decrease the chance of fertility as resulting of yin and yang imbalance.
3. Liver
Essential fatty acid not only kelps to improve the balance of prostaglandins hormone, but also helps the liver in fat and protein metabolism, thereby increasing the nervous cell in transmitting information between themselves and glands, thus decreasing the risk of nervous tension and symptoms that effect fertility.
4. Maximizing the effects of essential fatty acids
Study found that without enough levels of zinc, vitamin B6 and magnesium, our digestive system may not be able to absorb all EFAs , leading to EFAs deficiency, causing over production of certain hormone during menstrual cycle, resulting in distorting the normal reproductive process for fertilization.
5. Impotence
It also helps to increases the blood flow to male reproductive, leading to decreasing the risks of sexual dysfunction and promoting sperm count and quality that improve the chance for the female partner to conceive.
6. Healthy prostate
As resulting of anti inflammation properties of EFAs, it helps to decrease the risks of enlarged prostate gland or restore the normal function of prostate gland in production of reproductive semen fluid that nourishes and transports the male gamete (sperm) through the female reproductive tract.
