Abstract: As known our environment and our diet have a significant effect on our health. A nutrition rich diet and good environment have a positive effect on our overall health. Any changes in these can gives a negative health effect, even it is become a threat to our reproductive health. The cases of reproductive health issue mostly infertility is increasing worldwide. Infertility is considered when a person failed to achieve pregnancy after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. Our diet includes many different kinds of elements from different kinds of food, which includes micronutrients and minerals which are beneficial for human health but can be dangerous in excess and result in health complications. Hormones involved in reproduction, like gonadotropin, which releases hormone 3, and β luteinizing hormone, are also impacted by rising global temperatures. Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, resemble or interfere with natural hormones, changing the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and that impact ovulation, sperm production, and hormone regulation. Chemicals such as pesticides, heavy metals, industrial solvents, and EDCs are increasingly known to have negative effects on fertility. Stakeholders can try to reduce the burden of infertility and promote a healthier global population by bridging the gap between advances in science and everyday life implementations. A growing global concern, infertility is determined by a combination of environmental influences, physiological conditions, psychological wellbeing, and dietary choices. The significant effects of diet and environmental exposures on reproductive health are highlighted in this study, highlighting the necessity of focused interventions.
