THE IMPACT OF NUTRITION AND LIFESTYLE ON THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

Abstract

Nutrition and lifestyle have a significant impact on the human reproductive system, as these factors play a crucial role in processes such as implantation, placental development, angiogenesis, and the transfer of nutrients from mother to fetus. Global statistics indicate that many diseases, including issues related to reproductive health, arise from unhealthy lifestyles, particularly irrational or unbalanced nutrition. This article examines the impact of dietary habits and overall lifestyle on the reproductive health of men and women. Based on contemporary scientific research, it analyzes the negative consequences of poor nutrition, insufficient physical activity, stress, sleep disturbances, and harmful habits (such as smoking and alcohol consumption) on the functioning of the reproductive system. Additionally, the article highlights how a healthy lifestyle and balanced nutrition can contribute to the improvement of reproductive health
