Eating breakfast helps increase your ability to conceive

Women struggling to conceive should try to eat a full, hearty breakfast, according to a new study.

The researchers found that " eating " a full meal in the morning, instead of the evening, could help women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) " become pregnant ". Statistics show that PCOS is currently a disease affecting about 6% - 10% of women of childbearing age, destroying their fertility.

In women with the disease, PCOS has created insulin resistance, which leads to an increase in androgenic hormones and can also cause irregular menstruation, hair loss, increased body hair growth, pimples, diabetes and reproductive problems. Absorbing most of the calories in the morning in the morning helps regulate insulin, testosterone and other hormones, which can reverse the fertility of women.

Researchers conducted tests for 60 women in 12 weeks at the Jewish University of Jerusalem (Israel). These volunteers were between the ages of 25 - 39, relatively thin with a body mass index of less than 23 and PCOS syndrome.

All of these women are divided into two equal groups and each of them is allowed to absorb about 1,800 calories / day. The difference between the two groups is the best meal time of the day with approximately 980 calories: one group takes this meal in the morning while the other group " feasts " it in the evening. Researchers want to find out if caloric intake time affects insulin resistance and increases androgen in women with PCOS syndrome.

As a result, glucose content and insulin resistance decreased by 8% in those who ate the largest meal of the day in the morning, while there were no changes in the other group. In addition, in the breakfast group, the amount of male hormone testosterone dropped to nearly half, while remaining in the dinner group.

The rate of ovulation in women in the breakfast group is also much higher than that of their peers. This implies, a full breakfast leads to an improvement in fertility in women with PCOS syndrome.

Professor Oren Froy, head of the study, concluded: "Our work clearly shows that the amount of calories we absorb every day is important, but the moment we collect them even more important ".
