5 important changes in your daily life that may improve fertility
There are numerous couples who have put the family dream on hold. Successive crises and disruptive changes at the socio-political and economic level create instability in their lives and concerns. Despite all this, the desire to create a family never ceases to exist in their hearts, but the chances of it keep falling. A key factor affecting them is the decline in fertility.
Reproductive capacity is significantly affected by age. The ideal time period for a couple to start a family is the decade from 20 to 30, when fertility in both sexes is at high levels. Of course, time combined with a multitude of other factors, such as lifestyle, bad habits and psychological state, gradually reduce fertility. However, there are ways to protect and improve fertility naturally. By making small but important changes in everyday life, everyone can improve their health and protect their fertility and the health of their offspring.
Below you may find 5 important changes that you can make in your lifestyle to get closer to your dream, to become parents!
1. Improve your diet
It is certainly not surprising that experts recommend improving nutrition, since everything starts with the “fuel” we give to our body. This “fuel” should consist of antioxidant-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables and nuts that contain vitamins C and E, zinc and folate. Studies emphasize that the consumption of antioxidants, even in the form of nutritional supplements, may improve fertility of both men and women.
2. Cut down caffeine and alcohol
“Excellence means everything with measure”, our ancient ancestors used to say, and they were not wrong. It is a piece of advice that everyone should apply in every aspect of their life and especially in their diet. Reducing caffeine and alcohol positively affects fertility, as the former in large quantities can increase the risk of miscarriages and the latter reduce the chances of conception.
3. Maintain a healthy weight
Increased body weight and obesity can reduce the chances of achieving a pregnancy, even with the help of science (assisted reproduction – IVF). Studies have shown that being overweight significantly reduces the chances of conception, as it can cause ovulation disorders and affect egg quality. It is important to mention that both strict diets and low weight negatively affect fertility. Thus, maintaining a healthy body weight is considered essential.
4. Exercise is your ally
Many studies have highlighted exercise as the ally of fertility. More specifically, regular, moderate-intensity exercise can increase pregnancy with assisted reproduction and reduce the chance of miscarriage.
5. Psychology mood plays a role in fertility
Fast rhythms of life, constant crises and the instability of days have negative effects on psychology. This in turn affects fertility in an indirect way, creating the ideal conditions for the adoption of habits such as poor diet, smoking and alcohol. Stress reduction, psychological relief and relaxation will improve your mood and by extension your fertility.
