For women looking to get pregnant and expectant mothers, here’s your new menu: Fruit, vegetables, dairy, eggs and grains.

New research shows meals based on those foods may reduce the risk of miscarriage. Researchers at the University of Birmingham in England analyzed 20 studies that assessed women’s eating habits in the months before and shortly after conceiving a baby. Their goal: To determine if there is an association between diet and the chances of miscarriage.

As it turns out, there is a link. And, as with other diet-related medical outcomes, not all foods are created equal. High fruit intake was associated with a 61% reduction in miscarriage risk. Eating more vegetables translated to a 41% risk reduction. For dairy, grains and eggs, the reductions were 37%, 33% and 19%, respectively.

The researchers also looked closely at popular, predefined eating plans such as the Mediterranean Diet and the Fertility Diet but found no effect on miscarriage risk.

To establish their findings, the researchers parsed medical and dietary data from more than 60,000 women before and during the first three months of pregnancy.

Then what’s the best approach for prospective and expecting mothers? A whole, balanced diet rich in healthy foods and antioxidants. It’s also wise to avoid food that is unhealthy or causes inflammation.

The researchers also note there’s growing evidence that lifestyle changes before conceiving and early in pregnancy can have an impact on outcomes — and that goes beyond the standard advice about not smoking or drinking.

That’s where a healthy diet may improve mom’s odds of not having a miscarriage. So, pass the fruit salad and hold the hot dogs.
