Diet To Conceive (Fertility Diet) - What Is Macro Nutrients?

Fertility is a natural process to insure the survival of human species. Through natural selection, we produce many offspring when the reproductive system works at it's peak in the suitable environment with plenty foods around. On the other hand, the reductive system may completely shut down or work at it;s minimum state and we produce less offspring, when the environment is hostile including less foods around, war, epidemic, etc. But regardless any situation. most women are capable to conceive sometimes before menopause.

1. Carbohydrate
carbohydrate is also known as sugar, it provide us with the largest percentage of energy between 40 to 55% of total calories. It can be classified into 2 types
a) Simple sugar
It is made up with monosaccharides (single sugar) such as glucose, frutose and disaccharides ( 2 single sugars connected together)such as sucrcrose, lastose and maltose.
b) Complex sugar
It is made up with polysacchirades ( many simple sugars connected together) such as starches and modified starches, and non starch polysaccharides (fiber).
The difference between complex sugar and simple sugar is the long chain of sugar and how it effect the sugar levels in the bloodstream after intake. Remember, all of them provide us with energy through liver carbohydrate metabolism.
