For Health and Fertility
A healthy lifestyle really does increase the chances of a pregnancy. How is your
situation? Do you eat healthy food?
- Did you know garlic is a miracle food? It even has a positive influence on erections.
But make sure you both eat it ;-)
- Eat a wide variety of vegetables, as close as possible to their natural form. With
steaming and stir-frying they retain lots of vitamins.
- Cut down on meat. Replace it by pulses. Lentils, chick peas, beans are a wonderful
source of protein.
- Zinc is great for increasing fertility. Carrots, peas, pumpkin, nuts and seeds, chickpeas
and whole grains contain zinc. Good zinc levels help curb the ‘sweet tooth’ as well.
- Do you eat a variety of grains? Millet, oats, buckwheat, barley, quinoa…
- Try to get at least 7 hours sleep a night. In the winter we tend to need more sleep
than in the summer.
- Did you know gum infections can effect fertility? Keep healthy with brushing, flossing,
but avoid those aggressive rinses.
- Have sex in the morning. After a rest, the sperm quality is better.
- Men with poor sperm have best sperm after one days’ abstention, after two days it
gets worse again. Men with normal sperm have the best quality sperm after seven days
abstention.
- Have fun. I really believe it makes a great difference to our lives, even fertility,
as it cuts down stress.
- Yoga helps. I work with a Fertility Yoga System by Ludmila Mojzísová, which in itself
has helped populate the Czech Republic.
- Relax. A stressed person’s body is tense outside and inside. Stress erduces fertility.
- We all have unconscious blocks - make sure you clear possible unconscious blocks
concerning pregnancy
- Help your man to improve sperm and potency
Things to avoid when you want a baby
- Smoking delays a pregnancy by lowering estrogen levels, plus it increases the chance
of a miscarriage.
- Alcohol makes conception more difficult by disrupting estrogen and progesteron levels.
Alcohol also leads to worse sperm quality.
Tips for getting pregnant.
Improve the chances of a natural pregnancy or successful
IUI, IVF or ICSI
- Coffee - an American-Swedish study of 562 women shows that women who drink 1 - 3
cups of coffee a day have a 30% higher chance of a miscarriage. Women who drink more
than 5 cups of coffee a day have a 40% higher chance of a miscarriage.
- Coke, Energy drinks and Sports drinks contain caffeine, a fertility enemy. Besides
that, one bottle of AA Energy drink (approx 2 glasses) contains 24 lumps of sugar!
The other drinks are not much different.
- Stress disrupts the acid-alkaline balance, which is of prime importance to all body
processes. Stress is associated with irregular menstruation and abnormal sperm. Further,
stress impacts potency.
Do you want help cutting down stress? - The acid - alkaline balance also gets disrupted by processed food, white flour, sugar.
- Overweight reduces fertility - consult your doctor
- Medication - beware of pain killers like Ibuprofen, these can disturb the hormone
balance, making it impossible for a fertilized egg to attach itself in the whomb.
Ask your doctor or chemist for advice.
- Too much vitamine A is not good for fertility. Beware of vitamin tablets and nutritional
supplements.
- Eat little liver and produce made from liver, because of the high amount of vitamine
A.
- Navel piercing - the piercing cuts through the Conception Vessel, an essential meridian
- imagine cutting through an electric wire - the light would not go on. Take it out.
- Don’t eat many soya products. Soya contains phyto-oestrogens, plant based substances,
related to the female hormone oestrogen. These can disrupt the hormone balance.
- Green tea also can affect the hormone balance, don’t exceed 1 cup a day.
- Fish contains heavy metals, so don’t eat much fish. A good source of Omega 3 is linseed
oil. Linseed oil oxydates fast and needs to be used up quickly. Capsules solve that
problem.
