its not that diet helps to become fertile but it assists in enhancing the fertility levels by making you healthy naturally. if you have no known cause of infertility, then a change in diet that is healthy foods can help in boosting fertility. For other infertility issues, medical assistance is a must.

how can diet affect the fertility? if one is fertile, i do not think that a change in diet can make him fertile. if this happens, then nobody will need medical assistance and only resort to foods.
