Fertility Cycles & Nutrition : Self-care for Improved Cycles and Fertility...naturally!

The explosion of scientific research on the connection between nutrition and fertility confirms what Marilyn Shannon has been saying in Fertility, Cycles & Nutrition since 1990. That is, in many cases cycle irregularities can be either eliminated or alleviated simply through better nutrition or body balance. Originally written to help make the practice of Natural Family Planning easier for couples experiencing irregular cycles, this book has proven to be invaluable for anyone looking for improved fertility.

In this completely updated and expanded edition, Shannon first provides practical guidelines for selecting nutritious food, the highest priority for maintaining good health. Next, she systematically examines a host of reproductive problems and identifies the specific nutrition and targeted supplementation that research shows can be used as self-care to overcome such problems or improve fertility.
