Nutrients found in red meat play an important role in fertility levels and the general health of women and men planning a pregnancy, says an expert.
The intake of red meat and pork can make a difference, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"Red meat is often associated with fertility in so-called 'old wives' tales' and has been traditionally encouraged in the diets of couples trying for a baby. Now we know from scientific research that the nutrients found in red meat really do have a role in normal fertility," said Carrie Ruxton from the Meat Advisory Panel.
