How to increase your fertility with these 14 habits

You do not know how carefully we have prepared this article for you. We would love to help you in this regard!

1. Avoid hormonal contraceptives

Probably, if your goal is to increase your fertility, you have stopped using birth control to try to get pregnant. But it may also be that it is not your time yet, although you would like to start taking care of this aspect for when the occasion arrives.

In any case, from the wide range of existing contraceptives, discard those that work by hormonal action, such as the pill, the ring, the patches or the subcutaneous implant.

The main problem that these have in relation to fertility is that they not only act during the time they are being used, but even after they are dispensed with it takes a while for the body to normalize and it does not always recover on its own.

2. Do not carry your mobile in your pants pocket

If you are prone to keeping your mobile in any of the pockets near your hips, start to banish that habit: electromagnetic waves especially affect the reproductive glands, and in the case of us, the ones who lose out are our ovaries.

If what you want is to increase your fertility, move your smartphone away from the area of ​​your lower abdomen.

3. Don't be fooled, 40 is NOT the new 30

It is one thing that in a matter of personal spirit and attitude you do not feel the passage of age and quite another to pretend that your biology stops at 25 indefinitely.

According to Dr. Checa, from Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, ​​the optimal age (physically speaking) to get pregnant is between 20 and 25 years of age, although until the age of 35 the reproductive capacity of the female should not be affected. woman. However, from that age on, things start to change a lot and fertility gradually declines as the probability increases problems arise in pregnancy.

Therefore, if you are clear about your desire to be a mother, do not delay that moment too much; nature runs its course.

4. Dodge hormone disruptors

In case this is the first time you come across this term, hormone disruptors are substances that cause endocrine alterations in our body, altering the proper functioning of our hormones. This is bad for our health, especially reproductive.

They are contained in detergents that impregnate our clothes, perfumes that are absorbed through the skin... even damaged non-stick layers from some pans can pass some of these substances into the food we eat, as well as certain types of plastic from packaging.

Opting for organic or ecological cleaning products and cosmetics avoids this problem. As for food, opt as far as possible for products of organic originSince they are free of these substances and consume bottled water.

5. Nutritious food

To increase your fertility, of course you have to take care that your body does not lack nutrients with which to function correctly, so try to make your diet richer and more varied than ever (and if possible, keep the habit, now for your own good).

Also, try to increase folic acid levels to ensure the proper gestation of the future baby. This is very present in leafy vegetables such as spinach, vitamin E (also called the "fertility vitamin") present in first-rate vegetable oils pressure (virgin olive oil without going any further) and minerals such as zinc, iodine and selenium (it is enough to take them in the amounts naturally present in the food).

On the other hand, to ensure that everything you strive to achieve through diet is assimilated by the body, introduce probiotics and prebiotics so that your intestinal flora can do its job well.

6. Be careful with exciting drinks

Consume minimal doses. One or two coffees will not hurt you, but exceed those amounts it can favor alterations in your stress level, which would affect your fertility, as well as the response of your insulin, which would alter the normal functioning of your body in general.

7. Plants allied with women's fertility

In nature itself there are plants that can help you increase your fertility, some of these being chasteberry (which would have an action similar to that of progesterone, predominant hormone in the phase following ovulation), maca (which increases fertility in both men and women), sage (which contains phytoestrogens), flax seeds (which regulate your hormonal system).

Do not forget one thing: that it is natural does not mean that it is harmless, so try not to take them on your own without prior advice from a professional with training and experience at the respect.

8. Yoga: asanas to increase your fertility

The benefits of practicing yoga are not only reflected in your stress management, which can intensely affect those women and their partners trying to conceive without success (As fertility expert Dr. Jennifer Hirshfeld-Cytrin demonstrated in a study), it goes further.

Some of his asanas activate blood circulation in the area of ​​our reproductive system and they decongest the pelvic area, as in the case of: the hip opening posture, Supta Baddha Konasana and the bridge posture.

9. Zero stress

We have already mentioned it to you before in passing, but we insist; stress undermines your attempts to increase your fertility, since among other things, it can alter your ovarian cycle (which is something very sensitive) to make the period disappear or prevent ovulation itself due to the alteration of hormones.

If you suffer from stress, remedy it as soon as possible. Our article with the "8 infallible techniques to avoid stress".

10. Tobacco, alcohol and other drugs

Forget about any substance that threatens your health, whether or not of synthetic origin. In the end, fertility is a sign of being healthy, and anything that prevents it will also affect you to this aspect.

11. Fertility calendar: identify the stages of your ovarian cycle

Although the laws of nature follow certain patterns, each person is unique and does not work exactly the same as any other. So, the better you know your own internal clock in relation to your ovulation, many more possibilities to increase your fertility.

The ovarian cycle must function optimally to achieve two objectives: ovulate and be able to protect the pregnancy of the fertilized egg. Keeping track of the body changes that you perceive (which are associated with each phase) will help you to know how to detect them each month, and at the observe them, with the passage of time they will also allow you to realize if there is any type of alteration that may affect their correct functioning.

12. Attention to your sleep cycles

Do you sleep well This question puts the focus on something a lot more involved in your reproductive health than you might imagine, since it is during the deepest sleep phases when our body regenerates, therefore, also your sexual organs.

If we do not sleep enough hours or our sleep is constantly interrupted, these "repairs natural ”necessary to keep our body in optimal working order, they remain incomplete. The consequence is that we end up having irregularities and problems. And in the case that concerns us, it would affect our reproductive capacity.

For that reason, if you want to increase your fertility, take care to also ensure the quality of your night's rest each day.

13. STD prevention

There are certain STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) whose effects directly affect the health of the sexual organs.

This is the case of chlamydia, which affects both men and women, and in us, affects the functioning of our fallopian tubes (with the consequent implication it would have on female fertility).

Here's one more reason to prevent the spread of STDs.

14. Obligatory sex? No way

Finally, a recommendation. That your intimate relationships with your partner do not become something to do on a scheduled basis, no matter how much the doctors say it almost like a prescription.

Take care of the desire and romanticism in the couple, as it will provide you with more possibilities for these relationships to occur naturally and, therefore, be more pleasant. And when something is pleasant... it has a better chance of repeating itself spontaneously.

If you enter the trap of being forced to have sex as prescribed by a doctor, you run the high risk of causing rejection when it comes to having sex. And if that comes, not only will there be no possibility of fertilization, but also the members of the couple will move away. And who would want it to get to this point?

Let love flow and enjoy doing it very much!
