Fertility Food Tip:   Eat Your Beans!

Beans are one of the best foods for fertility available. Not only are they packed with protein, fiber and important nutrients such as calcium, iron and potassium, but they also contain a high percentage of folate (a B vitamin), which boosts fertility in both men and women and helps prevent neural tube defects at birth. Beans are also low in fat, good for digestion and a great source of antioxidants, so eat your beans!
