UR Nutrition Plan - UR International

At UR Vistahermosa we work tirelessly on the concept of comprehensive patient care and that is why we offer you the possibility of accessing a consultation with our team of nutritionists through the “UR Nutrition Plan” to achieve the right weight before starting fertility treatment.

Importance of weight during an Assisted Reproduction treatment:

Starting an assisted reproduction treatment with the optimum weight favours pregnancy and enjoying a good state of health implies, among other factors, a correct nutritional state.

Having a Body Mass Index (BMI) above or below normal can have a negative influence on the search for pregnancy. In women it can cause alterations in the function of the ovaries, a higher risk of miscarriage, lack of ovulation and/or poor egg quality, etc. In men, it may be related to alterations in the quality and functionality of spermatozoa.

Nutrition and fertility

Within the nutritional plan we have to offer you, we have the collaboration of the renowned Chef Pepe Rodríguez, whose restaurant El Bohio has a Michelin Star. The presenter and judge of a famous Spanish TV cooking competition, has prepared a number of menus taking care of every essential nutritional detail for you if you are planning to become pregnant.

The menus were designed in accordance with the dietary recommendations for a balanced diet, which will provide you with important vitamins and minerals to avoid deficiencies and/or excesses and at the same time help you to maintain the right weight to boost your fertility.

It must be taken into account that the right diet is as important for women as it is for men. Vitamin deficiencies in the diet can have a negative influence on fertility. This can lead to alterations in the interaction between egg and sperm and in the implantation of the fertilised egg, thus increasing the risk of miscarriage, among other possible disadvantages.

Lower number of spermatozoa and/or failure in spermatogenesis in the case of men.

Menus designed by Pepe Rodríguez

Chef Pepe Rodríguez in the design of the menus has been careful to cover the nutritional needs required to improve fertility, thus achieving a balanced diet that provides vitamins and minerals of importance for an adequate state of health that favours fertility in both sexes.

The menus cover fertility nutrition tips, such as:

Legumes at least 3 times a week.
Fruits and vegetables as the basis of your diet.
Wholegrain cereals for a greater supply of fibre and vitamins such as those of the B group.
Avoid red and processed meats.
Opt for white and blue fish, lean meats, eggs and dairy products.
Eliminate ultra-processed foods from your diet.
Avoid alcohol and tobacco.
