promote optimal reproductive and metabolic
functioning:

fat.
2. Stay in energy balance.
For optimal reproductive functioning, women
need to get enough energy from food, sleep, and
relaxation to balance their energy expenditure
from exercise, daily activities, and stress.

3. Take a simple multivitamin/mineral

supplement every day.
Even if you eat well most ofthe time, a simple
multi is a good idea for all women of
reproductive age
4. Consider calcium.
5. Fish for health.
Fish is one of the only sources of DHA and
EPA (two omega 3 fatty acids that are critical for

their risk for mood disorders and impair their
babies brain and vision development during
pregnancy and lactation.
