Fertility is a natural process to insure the survival of human species.
Through natural selection, we produce many offspring when the
reproductive system works at it's peak in the suitable environment with
plenty foods around. On the other hand, the reductive system may
completely shut down or work at it;s minimum state and we produce less
offspring, when the environment is hostile including less foods around,
war, epidemic, etc. But regardless any situation. most women are capable
to conceive sometimes before menopause.
I. Macro-nutrients
1. Carbohydrate
carbohydrate
is also known as sugar, it provide us with the largest percentage of
energy between 40 to 55% of total calories. It can be classified into 2
types
a) Simple sugar
It is made up with monosaccharides (single
sugar) such as glucose, frutose and disaccharides ( 2 single sugars
connected together)such as sucrcrose, lastose and maltose.
b) Complex sugar
It
is made up with polysacchirades ( many simple sugars connected
together) such as starches and modified starches, and non starch
polysaccharides (fiber).
The difference between complex sugar and
simple sugar is the long chain of sugar and how it effect the sugar
levels in the bloodstream after intake. Remember, all of them provide us
with energy through liver carbohydrate metabolism.
2. Protein
Protein
is also known as polypeptides, they are are organic compounds made of
amino acids and can be found in meat, beans, milk, eggs or any source of
food which provides our body the raw materials to build its own
protein. Since our body can not store protein, we require to take them
regularly. Researchers found that intake of plant base protein is more
healthy than animal base protein, because it helps to prevent high blood
pressure, reduce cholesterol, heart diseases and strokes, if taking
together with complex carbohydrate.
3. Fat
Fat is generally
included triester of glycerol and fatty acids. and can be souble or
insolable under room temperature. Because of mis understanding, we most
view fat is bad for our body while we continuously includes them in our
diet. In fact, besides serving as energy stores for the body, it helps
to maintain our body temperature, and promote healthy cell function as
well as enhancing healthy skin and hair. There are 4 kinds of fat and

Mono
saturated fat can be found in oliver oil, peanut oil, canola oil and
other sources such as nut and avocado. it is said that it helps to lower
the bad cholesterol LDL and raise the levels of HDL in some cases.
ii) Polyunsaturated fat
Polyunsaturated
fat can be found in vegetable oils, soybean, etc. It is said that
polyunsaturated fat reduces both bad and good levels of cholesterol.
Over eating polyunsaturated oil may increase the risk of cancer.
b) The bad fat
Trans
fat is considered as devil of all fat, it can be found vegetable
shortening, margarines and all oil heated in high temperature. It is
said trans fat lower good cholesterol and raises the bad cholesterol.
c) The one in between
Saturated
fat can be found in all meas, whole milk, cheese, palm kernel oil,
