PreconceptionAmericanEasyServes 245 min

Sautéed shrimp, diced avocado, and a squeeze of lime over a base of warm brown rice.

During the follicular phase, a dominant follicle is maturing to release an egg, requiring healthy fats from avocado for hormone production and cell integrity. For him, the lean protein and selenium found in shrimp support healthy sperm formation and protect sperm DNA from oxidative stress. Together with the folate-rich spinach, these nutrients build a strong, supportive foundation for conception.
