Foods that help maintain ovarian health mainly include the following categories:
1. Estrogen-containing foods: such as soy products, honey, and royal jelly. In particular, soy isoflavones found in soy products have beneficial effects on ovarian health.
2. Tonic foods: such as ginseng, bird's nest, and donkey-hide gelatin (ejiao), which provide nutrients like proteins and amino acids that are beneficial for the ovaries.
3. Foods rich in folic acid and vitamins: such as leafy green vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, which are high in folic acid and vitamins and help prevent premature ovarian failure.
4. Nuts and seeds: such as walnuts, almonds, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds, which are rich in zinc and vitamin E and can promote ovarian function.
5. Protein-rich foods: such as eggs, milk, lean meat, chicken, and fish, which play an important role in maintaining ovarian health.
However, these foods should be consumed as part of a balanced diet and under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist to achieve optimal results.
