Can Your Diet Produce Twins?


Sat, 05/02/2009 - 14:29 — Elizabeth

Does what you eat determine whether or not you have twins? A study published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine, found that what you do or don’t eat may indeed contribute to the chance of giving birth to twins.

Researchers from the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York found that women who eat animal products, especially diary, are 5 times more likely to have twins.

Why? They believe that there is a protein that is released from the liver of animals. And it is this protein that creates increased sensitivity in the ovaries which in turn increases ovulation. It has also been found to encourage embryos to remain healthy in the early stages of development.

Researchers believe that it is a combination of diet and heredity that determine whether or not women are blessed with twins. If you are hoping for twins, why not make yourself a dairy filled meal!

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.
