During the preparation process for IVF in the USA, both men and women need to pay special attention to their dietary habits. Diet is not only the foundation for maintaining good health but also a key factor in improving the quality of sperm and eggs, directly affecting the success rate of IVF.

For men, a healthy diet is crucial for improving sperm quality. Firstly, smoking and drinking should be stopped immediately, as harmful substances in tobacco and alcohol can directly damage sperm production and motility. It is recommended that men refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol at least three months before conception, and avoid excessive consumption of coffee, strong tea, and carbonated drinks. Additionally, it is important to avoid drug abuse and foods and products containing estrogen. During the preparation period, men's diets should be rich in high-quality proteins, zinc, selenium, and other minerals and vitamins, with arginine being an important substance for sperm formation. Foods that can enhance sperm quality, such as beef, fish, eggs, and nuts, should be consumed more, as these significantly benefit semen quality.

For women, diet is also an essential aspect during the preparation for IVF. High-quality eggs are the foundation for successful conception, and diet can effectively promote the healthy development of eggs. It is recommended that women increase their intake of folic acid during the preparation phase; this B vitamin is widely found in green vegetables, and a lack of folic acid may lead to issues like neural tube defects in newborns. Furthermore, calcium-rich and high-protein foods such as dairy products, meat, and healthy fat sources like deep-sea fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds are also indispensable nutritional sources for women preparing for pregnancy. Vitamin A, as a fat-soluble vitamin, helps in the normal development of follicles, improves the uterine environment, and enhances the chances of embryo implantation.

Of course, women also need to avoid smoking and drinking, as well as reduce their intake of barbecued, pickled foods, and foods containing caffeine and monosodium glutamate. These foods can negatively affect egg development and overall health.

Dr. Nathan Zhang, the founder of IVF USA, states that among the factors influencing IVF success rates, patient age, the quality of eggs and sperm, the health of embryos, and the receptivity of the endometrium are all crucial, with diet being a continuous aspect throughout the preparation process. Particularly, egg quality is influenced by age, lifestyle, weight, diet, and ovarian stimulation; whereas sperm quality is affected by factors such as alcohol abuse, excessive exercise, high-temperature environments, and poor diet.
