A lovely way to improve nature is to have a child born into it. And for potential parents, fertility is essential to achieving this.
The act that must be performed to have a child is commonly recognized, but not all acts result in conception, which may be due to certain difficulties.
The challenge could be infertility on the part of the woman or the man.
To boost fertility amongst females, health experts say women must consider the following healthy practices;
Use condom
Yes, you read right. Before you decide to give birth you must use condoms. Condom is the most effective way to prevent STIs such as Gonorrhea and Syphilis.
According to health practitioners, these infections can affect a woman’s fertility when contracted. Thus, it is advisable to use a condom when having sex with your partner until you are ready to conceive.
Quit alcohol, narcotics and caffeine
It’s no secret that alcohol, hard drugs and caffeine can make it hard for one to conceive. So if you want to be a mother, it can’t hurt to avoid them altogether.
According to health experts, caffeine hardens the pelvic muscles of the fallopian tubes. Studies have also shown that more than five cups of coffee a day can lead to miscarriages.
Stop smoking
Prospective mothers should know that smoking reduces the chances of conceiving by 40 per cent. Scientists say that smoking impairs the functioning of the ovaries so it’s better to quit the ‘cancer sticks’.
Healthy weight and diet
There is a link between infertility and obesity, so keeping your weight healthy is good. Moderate exercise and healthy diets on regular basis should not be undermined.
Consuming enough iron, calcium and zinc is very crucial in the diets of females who want to conceive. Zinc is said to regulate the menstrual cycle.
Folic acids also boost the sex hormones in females and should be included in the diets of a prospective mother.
Be wary of plastics
In this day and age, plastics may seem unavoidable but if you want to conceive, you should be measured in your exposure. According to studies, chemical compounds in these plastics can inhibit the production of estrogen.
