The path to conception can be a bumpy trail for many people. When many people think of infertility treatment, they picture high-tech procedures, sophisticated testing and powerful medications. Sure, they are really, really helpful but first things first. Even simple lifestyle changes can improve fertility health and have an extremely positive impact on the ability to conceive or treat infertility. Is pregnancy evading you even though you have been trying diligently? It’s all right, keep the faith: All pregnancies start when egg meets sperm – therefore, they have to to be in the same place at the same time. That’s not the whole story. There is more to set the stage for a healthy pregnancy i.e. keeping track of when your ovaries release your egg, ovulation window and having intercourse at the right time. There are a few tweaks and easy lifestyle changes to improve the quality of your eggs and increase chances of conception.
What lifestyle changes can decrease female infertility?
Healthy eating can optimize fertility:
If you have been having problems getting pregnant - you can deliciously dine your way to a happy, healthy pregnancy by following a fertility diet. The true fertility foods are whole grains, excellent protein packages, healthy fats and even the occasional bowl of ice cream. This isn't just wishful thoughts.
Keep in mind; this work just fills a critical information gap on diet and fertility as well as the recommendations will not work for infertility issues due to physical impediments such as blocked fallopian tubes. The recommendations are intended at preventing and reversing ovulatory infertility, which accounts for almost 25 % cases of infertility.
In a nutshell:
- Avoid artery-clogging Trans-fats and eat more healthy unsaturated fats.
- Indulge in healthy, plant-based fats in moderation
- Choose complex slow carbs (that are rich in fiber) and no highly processed ones.
- Consume whole milk (one or two servings a day) or other full-fat dairy foods
- Stick to less-processed sweeteners and Cut down sugar levels
- Choose whole foods over processed options
- Take a multivitamin daily that Should contain at least 400 mcg of folic acid
- Get plenty of iron from plants
- Head toward the fertility zone for weight (body-mass index (BMI) of 20 to 24)
Exercise and infertility
Regular exercise increases and brings in fresh blood flow to a woman’s reproductive organs. So, before you ramp up your current workout or begin a new workout regime, consider this: sedentary lifestyle can be detrimental to fertility and extreme exercising also has been revealed to be bad for fertility. So, actually, it is all about moderation.
New studies have shown that yoga asanas not only helps to cure female infertility but helps to increase the chances of a successful IVF pregnancy by up to 26 percent.
HERE’S THE DEAL:
- Increases blood flow to your reproductive system
- Releasing stress and anxiety. Creating clarity in your mind
- Helps to refurbish your endocrine system and hormonal balance
- Detoxify body and Balances life energy flow throughout the body
- Supporting a healthy immune system
Obesity and infertility
Overweight and obesity has detrimental effects on all systems, including reproductive health whether you’re using natural means or by assisted reproductive technologies. The risk of anovulation, menstrual irregularities, conception rates, miscarriage rates, subfecundity, infertility and pregnancy complications are increased in obese women. Obesity not only makes it much more difficult to conceive, but it also exposes both the mother and the infant to all kind of risks before and after birth.
Many researchers have stated that in addition to the above, obese women who underwent fertility treatments were less likely to achieve success with in vitro fertilisation (IVF), Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) or gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT).
According to a weight loss study by researchers Zain & Norman, 2008, the following positive results were attained with female subjects who lost 5% of their body weight:
overall, the women
- Improved their pregnancy rates
- Improved the hormonal environment in their bodies
- Restored their regular menstruation and ovulation
- Reduced their waist circumference measurements( which varies)
- Increased their insulin sensitivity by a whopping 70%
- Lost 11% of their abdominal fat
Do you believe it? A woman who is overweight or obese would need to lose 5kg (It may increase more depending on her weight) to achieve a good turn-around in her reproductive capacity.)
Oral Hygiene and infertility:
Good oral hygiene doesn’t only make you more adorable, it also may make you more fertile. During pregnancy, poor oral health is associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia, preterm labor, gestational diabetes and having low birth weight baby. Ensuring your teeth and gums are healthy isn’t only important for your fertility, it may also be vital for your not-yet-conceived child.
What to do if your lifestyle changes don't work?
Though lifestyle corrections and wellness should be pursued for its own sake and as a basic therapy, we can’t do everything through lifestyle to shift fertility issues such as fixing blocked tubes, fibroids, or DNA problems for eggs. Remember, lifestyle changes can “improve chances” and for “meaningfully improving chances” it is important to work with a fertility care team having the experience to precisely diagnose the underlying cause of your infertility and design a personalized treatment plan meeting your specific personal and medical needs.
