The study, carried out by Harvard researchers, has shown that monosaturated fat, prevalent in avocados, is better than any other dietary fat for would-be mothers.
It showed those who consumed the highest amounts of monounsaturated fats were 3.4 times more likely to conceive than those on the lowest amounts.
The researchers think the pro-fertility effects could be linked to a reduction of inflammation in the body.
The best kinds of food to eat are avocados, which have a lot of monounsaturated fat and low levels of other sorts of fat,the study leader Professor Jorge Chavarro was quoted as saying.
He did allow though the study was a small-scale affair and further investigation would be required before it could be conclusively proven.
