Do's and Don'ts on fertility

When couples strive for optimal fertility rate, they have to remember certain points that may help them achieve it better. There are certain things that need to be avoided and certain points that need to be included in everyday life. Let’s see what they are:

Do’s for couples for optimal fertility rates:
1) Use filtered water to avoid contamination in any form that may lead to one or the other infection
2) Increase fiber content of your diet
3) Increase fruits, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables in the diet
4) Add omega fatty acids to your diet
5) Additional supplements of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements may be recommended for both men and women as per the doctor’s suggestion
6) Many doctors recommend acupuncture as an adjunct to fertility treatment. Even during IVF, acupuncture increases the chances of success
7) It is evident that women who conceive after 25 to 30 years of age have more difficulty for conceiving than those who conceive earlier than this. So, early conception may be regarded as one of the points for natural conception

Don’ts for couples who are trying to conceive:
1) Avoid exposure to pollutants and heavy metals
2) Limit saturated fat and hydrogenated oil intake, Avoid trans-fat altogether as far as possible
3) Avoid heavy dosages of synthetic medications and hormones unless otherwise indicated
4) Limit alcohol
5) Say No to smoking, especially Marijuana
6) Do not opt for over-the-counter prescriptions
7) Do not bathe in too hot bath tubs
8) Men should avoid things that can create excess heat around the genitals. So, avoid placing laptop on the lap!
