One of the most frustrating things about dealing with fertility issues is not getting any decent information about what you can do to improve your fertility.
In this article you are going to find the five most important steps you can take to optimize your fertility.
1.
Optimizing your diet Many people fail to look at what they're putting in their bodies as a potential problem in regards to affecting their fertility.
Honestly, this should be the first place to start.
The reason is that the nutrients you take in through the foods you are eating - or lack of nutrients - could be impacting your overall cellular health.
Your eggs, ovaries, endometrial lining and follicles and the semen and sperm are all made up of cells, so it's important that the cells receive the building blocks they need.
-balance proteins, good low gi carbs, and good fats with each meal (check your breakfast for protein) -remove sugar from the diet -remove sugar substitutes from diet 2.
Minimizing toxins Unfortunately, in our world today we're never going to completely get away from toxins, so it's important to figure out those things you can control and address.
Try to minimize your exposure to any of the toxins you do know about or that you may voluntarily be putting in your body so that you can optimize your overall cellular health.
- get rid of air fresheners.
They have been shown to effect the immune system - Don't cook food in the microwave (chemicals can leach into foods), warm up only - Don't use any plastics in the microwave - Stop smoking and minimise drinking alcohol - check your skin care product ingredients.
If you can't pronounce most of the ingredients that is not a good thing - Eliminate soft drinks/soda.
There is no nutritional value and certain chemicals can impact the absorption of nutrients.
3.
Exercise A balanced exercise program is important for releasing natural chemicals such as endorphins in your body which can have a positive impact on your overall cellular health.
Excessive exercise, however, can cause a problem and create additional stress on the body, increasing free radical production and affecting hormone balance.
Too little exercise may not be giving you the full benefit you need to optimize your health.
Therefore, a physical therapist, personal trainer, or another professional in the exercise field should be sought out when trying to create a balanced cardiovascular program as well as a strength training program to optimize your overall health.
4.
Optimal Supplementation Program Folic acid isn't the only nutrient necessary to optimize your fertility.
A broad spectrum antioxidant and multi mineral is important.
Check with the company that makes your supplements to see if they test for bioavailability (whether they test to see if the supplement actually gets absorbed in the gut).
If they don't do this testing you may be wasting your money.
5.
Addressing the mind-body connection It is controversial as to whether stress causes fertility issues, but it isn't controversial that dealing with fertility issues can cause significant stress.
Whether or not emotional stress has contributed to your difficulty becoming pregnant up until this time, it is important to address the stress you may be experiencing as a result of fertility issues.
I do hope that it isn't too long until you're able to create the life you long for.
