Dietary Recomendations for Luteal Phase Defects
Luteal phase defects
A short luteal phase generally means that the corpus luteum does not produce sufficient progesterone, causing the onset of menstruation. Eating yams during the pre-ovulatory part of they cycle can correct a short luteal phase. Insufficient progesterone levels can be aided by increasing your consumption of foods rich in vitamin B6: tofu, kelp, whole grains, walnuts, and wheat germ. Progesterone production in the luteal phase can also be affected if prostaglandin impairs the functioning of the corpus luteum. Avoid arachidonic acid, a precursor of prostaglandin, found in animal fat._______________________________________
