Eating Behavior; Fertility; Nutrition.Abstract
The association between diet and quality of life and health maintenance is already consolidated, since dietary patterns have a direct impact on the prevention and reduction of various pathologies, among which the correlation with infertility and reproductive capacity of men and women has gained prominence. thus, this work is a narrative review, which aimed to analyze the scientific work on the possible relationships between dietary patterns and human fertility. The articles selected for the study were extracted from the databases: PubMed, Lilacs and Scielo. Using as keywords: Feeding Behavior, Fertility, Nutrition and their correspondents in English. In all combinations, the Boolean And operator was used and the survey was limited to articles published in Portuguese and English, with a temporal cut of the last five years. It was observed that although understanding the mechanisms that cause infertility in both sexes is still a complex and multicausal process, the studies compiled in this review reveal that good eating habits combined with an adequate lifestyle can considerably improve reproductive outcomes, as well as the association of individuals with deleterious daily habits, in addition to disrupting conception, increase the risk of miscarriage.
