Minimize the intake of saturated fats, trans-fats and any foods that do or may contain copper. Foods rich in Vitamin B12 like salmon, eggs and leafy greens can improve brain and nervous system health. Foods that contain phytochemicals (beans and blueberries) and antioxidants (apples, broccoli and almonds) improve cognitive function and prevent Alzheimer's.

If you’re trying to get pregnant, eat organic, unrefined foods. Increase protein intake. Maca, dark leafy greens stabilize hormonal balance. Drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine, alcohol, and smoking. Common deficiencies in women who are unable to conceive are zinc, B-vitamins, and essential fatty acids which can be corrected by taking supplements.
