Abstract |
The environment and dietary patterns have a significant impact on reproductive-age women experiencing infertility. Every year, fertility rates among women decline in many countries. Pollutants are constantly present in our surroundings, and environmental contaminants are commonly found in food, cooking ingredients, medications, and kitchenware that we use daily, which contribute to the causes of female infertility. Therefore, there is a need for monitoring the food industry/chemicals in food and raising public awareness about the importance of being mindful of both their diet and the surrounding environment. |
