Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A balanced diet and good nutrition are essential for the general health, growth and well-being of an individual. The impact of an individual’s health and longevity is dependent on their reproductive health. Boys and girls need to have the correct nutrition and diets tailored to their unique needs during the growing phase. For example, girls should maintain a healthy weight and proper body composition to avoid extreme weights such as obesity which can lead to early menarche and is associated long-term health sequelae. Additionally, body weight which is too low is unhealthy and will lead to poor bone mass development. This will result in an elevated risk of osteoporosis. Hence, proper nutrition from a young age may potentially offer the best health shield against chronic diseases and ensure optimal health during conception, pregnancy and delivery.
The Special Issue highlights the impact of diet and nutrition on an individual’s reproductive lifespan and healthspan. We aim to provide new insights into the role of diet and nutrition in maintaining and promoting reproductive health in both men and women throughout their entire lifespan, especially in women from puberty, reproductive age and menopause. Furthermore, with the global fertility crisis occurring, especially in Asia (with one of the world’s lowest total fertility rates), this Special Issue will focus on evidence-based reviews and original laboratory research that explore and derive guidance on the intake levels of micro- and macronutrients, antioxidants and their impact on fertility and reproductive health. I encourage authors to submit their original research on this essential topic to boost reproductive health through a life-long healthy diet.
