Foods that help promote ovulation mainly include the following categories:
Soy products: Such as tofu and soy milk, which are rich in phytoestrogens that can stimulate the body to secrete estrogen and thus facilitate ovulation.
Nuts: Walnuts, peanuts, and others rich in vitamin E, which nourish the ovaries and support ovulation.
Meat and fish: Beef, chicken, grass carp, and sea bass contain abundant protein and trace elements that help improve ovarian function and aid ovulation.
Fruits: Oranges, lemons, bananas, and others rich in zinc and selenium, which help balance female hormones and promote ovulation.
Other foods such as honey, whole grains, and turtle soup are also believed to have a positive effect on ovulation. During preconception, it is recommended to maintain a balanced diet with moderate intake of these foods, while avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
