Fertility Foods:

Note about Pesticides:

Not only are pesticides carcinogens, and endocrine disruptors that cause acute health problems, they also deplete the soil. Studies have shown that foods grown organically have a significantly higher level of vitamins, minerals and polyphenols (a group of secondary metabolites which play an important role in endocrine and immune function). The most desirable are biodynamicly grown crops nourished with specially prepared animal, plant and mineral fertilizers, an approach to farming based on the work of Austrian visionary philosopher, Rudolf Steiner.     

 

Most important fertility foods to buy organic:
