Health and fertility benefits of Spinach and Strawberry Salad

Poppy seeds are packed with calcium, magnesium, B vitamins, and zinc. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Fresh spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, all of which have significant roles in reducing inflammation in the body, all of which help in the case of infertility.
