The Association between Diet and Risk of Miscarriage

A recent meta-analysis examined the association between dietary patterns and the risk of miscarriage. The analysis included 20 different studies with over 63,000 women. The findings revealed that higher intake of fruits and vegetables was associated with a significant reduction in the odds of miscarriage. Similar results were observed for seafood, dairy products, eggs, and grains. On the other hand, diets high in processed and inflammatory foods were linked to increased miscarriage risk. The study emphasized the importance of consuming a balanced diet with a focus on whole foods while limiting processed foods and added sugars.
