Blood Sugar, Egg Quality & Fertility

High blood sugar doesn’t just affect metabolism—it can damage egg quality and reduce fertility. Here’s how…

Why it Matters:

• Elevated glucose → more oxidative stress (ROS) that overwhelms antioxidants.

• Insulin resistance disrupts mitochondria (your eggs’ energy source).

• Hormonal signaling in ovaries gets thrown off, impairing egg maturation.

Nutrition & Minerals to Protect Egg Quality:

• Balance blood sugar: protein + healthy fats + fiber with carbs.

• Antioxidants (C, E, selenium, zinc) fight oxidative stress.

• Magnesium, chromium, omega-3s improve insulin sensitivity.
  

Simple Steps to Start Today:

1. Pair carbs with protein/fats.

2. Cut refined sugar & white carbs.

3. Add magnesium (greens, nuts), zinc (seafood, beef), selenium (Brazil nuts).

4. Eat colorful, antioxidant-rich foods.

5. Walk 10–20 min after meals.

6. Prioritize sleep & stress balance.
   
   

Small daily changes = stronger, healthier eggs + better fertility outcomes.
