All antioxidant-rich produce are good for fertility due to their anti-inflammatory properties. “Inflammation impairs fertility‚ but citrus may play a specific role. There’s evidence that the vitamin C in citrus helps enhance fertility,” says Dr. Maizes. “It has bio-flavanoids, and these can improve circulation and blood flow to the uterus, making us more fertile.” In a 2011 study from Boston University, three or more servings of citrus fruit a week helped lower a woman’s chance of developing uterine fibroids, which can impair fertility. (Tip: Guava, papaya and kiwi have more vitamin C per fruit than oranges and grapefruit.)
