Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) does just what its name suggests--it stimulates the production of follicles. In women, the FSH affects egg and estrogen production. In men, the FSH aids in the production of sperm. A good diet is an important way to maintain healthy levels of FSH.
Stay Natural
Processed foods damage your body in all kinds of ways, literally from your head to your toes. It is particularly important to eat whole foods if you are concerned about your FSH levels. That means eating foods that are made from actual food, not tons of ingredients and chemicals you cannot pronounce.
Fatty Acids
Fatty acids are found in a variety of foods, and they are essential for a healthy reproductive system and a healthy pregnancy. You can get them from olive oil, fish, sunflower oil, nuts and tofu, among other things.
Dark Greens
Like most foods that can help with your FSH levels, dark greens are essential for any healthy diet. Kale, spinach and seaweed, to name a few, are packed with nutrients that help the endocrine system. What's more, there are about a 1,000 ways to eat them, from sushi to salads to stir fry.
Considerations
The changes to your diet may seem challenging at first, because your favorite foods are probably not entirely natural. What's more, you often do not have the time to cook--the last thing we want to do after a long day is to start preparing food. These foods are essential to your health. By taking a few steps, you can do a great deal for your FSH levels. Make healthier choices at restaurants. Cooking at home doesn't need to be difficult. It saves you money, and it's a fun activity for you and a loved one to do together.
