While fruit is defined as any fleshy material covering a seed or seeds and vegetable is defined as a herbaceous (green and leaf like in appearance or texture) plant cultivated for an edible part, as roots, stems, leaves or flowers, but in in daily language, the words "fruit" and "vegetable" are interchangeable.

4. Blood flow
Garlic, ginger, onion, etc also help to improve the blood flow to the reproductive organs. By making the blood thinner, they increase the blood in transportation of nutrients and oxygen for our body cell need, including the reproductive organ, leading to decreasngthe risk of low quality sperm in men and poor quality eggs in women.
5. Nervous symptoms
Some fruit and vegetable help to increase the body in fat and protein metabolism, thereby increasing the nervous cells in transmitting information between themselves and glands, thus decreasing the risk of nervous symptoms such as fatigue, stress, depression, anxiety, etc.

II. How seeds and nuts effect fertility
1. Low GI index
Nuts and seeds are ranged very low in GI index. They release the glucose very slowly into the blood stream, thereby increasing the pancreas function in regulating the production of insulin, resulting in increasing the conversion of carbohydrate into energy that are vital for our daily activity needs.
2. High amount of essential fatty acids
They also contain high amount of essential Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids that help to improve our body in fat and protein metabolism, thereby increasing the levels of E1 and E3 EFAs resulting in lessening the risk of hormone imbalance and quality of sperm in men and egg in women.
3. Vitamins and minerals
Vitamins and minerals not only help to maintain normal function of our body's daily activity, but also increase the body function in normalizing the production of certain hormones. Deficiency of them increase the risk of hormone imbalance, leading to infertility.

Our nervous system is required carbohydrate in maintaining its function in transmitting information and regulating the hormones secretion of glands, because the brain and neurons generally cannot burn fat and need glucose for energy. Deficiency of carbohydrate increases the risk of hormone imbalance leading to distorting the normal process of conception.
3. Taking only low GI carbohydrate food
High GI food release glucose into blood steam quickly, causing fluctuation of insulin production of pancreas, leading to high blood sugar in the body that effects quality of egg in women and lowering sperm count in men.
4. Hormone imbalance
High levels of insulin caused by inability of pancreas in regulating the levels of sugar after intake of carbohydrate increase the levels of androgen produced by the ovaries, causing hormone imbalance and increasing the risk of abnormal ovulation infertility.
5. Blood flow
Long term intake of simple carbohydrate may effect the pancreas in secreting insulin, leading to insulin resistance and causing high levels of bad cholesterol and triglyceride in the blood stream, as the blood get thicker, resulting in diabetes and heart diseases, thus effecting the blood flow to the pelvic region and increasing the risk of sexual dysfunction and low quality sperm in men and obstructing the normal ovulation in women.
