Do you know that gluten can promote infertility for men and women? Well, I don’t know too till I read about that on the Web. Seems like gluten – a common protein found in wheat, rye and barley can cause problems with the digestive system that can cause infertility.Wheat can be hard to digest that can create a problem or illness called celiac disease that can found on men and women.

Women with celiac disease are more prone to have infertility problems especially if they didn’t do anything to treat it.  They can also suffer complications like miscarriage and preterm births because of it.  For men, an untreated celiac disease can produce abnormal sperms and lower testosterone level which is not good especially if they are trying to get pregnant.

The great news is that celiac disease can definitely be treated by going to a gluten-free diet. To know more about this topic go here.

Some women choose their relationship and career first rather than having children at an early age. But older women have found that getting pregnant at the age of 40 is not easy. But some do get pregnant with the help of fertility medications and processes. Some women of 40 even get pregnant without any kind of assistance. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of getting pregnant at the age of 40?

One of the finest advantage of women who wait is that they have the time to become successful first before carrying a child. Women who have waited had their time to discover the world and had done things that can make them financially secure compared to women who bear child at an early age. They are also more focused to their children due to their stability in life and their maturity can greatly contribute in raising the child properly.

But there are disadvantages in waiting to have a child too at a late age. One is the difficulty of getting pregnant. This is because of the decline in the number of eggs in the woman’s ovary while they grow old. Studies shows that women in their 40s only have a 25% chance of getting pregnant using their own eggs. There is also the risk of having complications for the baby when you get pregnant at that age.

But don’t be discourage if you are at 40s and trying to get pregnant still. There are a number of infertility cures and treatments for you.

This is article will talk about food and specifically foods to eat when you’re trying to get pregnant. If I were to stop just there, it would be a disservice to you because even though you know what food to eat if you’re trying to conceive, you won’t know what to avoid. So In this article, I’ll be talking about two specific topic, one regarding the above and another is specific “foods to avoid if you want to get pregnant”. There’s actually top ten best fertility foods you should eat all the time and I will try to cover them all in this article but if you want to explore them in detail then I suggest that you download this book here. It’s based on a lot of years of research and is all about how you can eat healthy and make the organs that supports your reproductive system function better. You see, the body is interlinked in ways that science cannot understand and modern medicine typically only focuses on the organ responsible for infertility.I hope this article will open your eyes to the holistic view of your body.

First of all, you should really try to eat only organic food. I know they’re expensive but non-organic food contain a lot of chemicals and pesticides which is not good for your reproductive system. It’s not even healthy to begin with. I would ask you to seriously consider continuing this practice even after you’ve successfully got pregnant. Here’s a list of healthy food choices while trying to conceive. Follow them to the letter and I can guarantee you that your chances of getting pregnant is higher than if you do not follow them.

First of all, if you eat any grain at all, it’s advisable to get whole grains because of its vitamin content. However, it would be best if you do not eat any grain at all during the time when you’re trying to conceive. There’s a theory that humans should not eat grain because animals don’t eat them normally. This is because grains emits a kind of smell that repel the animals and the structure of grain is such that it is unhealthy to eat it. Why? Because if all animals eat grain, how will they grow up and reproduce? It’s such an easy target for animals to eat grain because its not moving and running but animals chose not to eat grain because instinctively they know it’s not good for them.

The next food on the list is the meat, please try to eat only free range type of meat. what do I mean by free range? in short, animals that are not caged in a very confined areas. Those animals are stressed out, fed with hormones (which in turn wreck havoc to your hormone) and is frequently injected with lots of drugs like steroids and antibiotics. Free range type of animals are free to roam over a large piece of land, full with healthy food like grass grown on non fertilizer/chemical soil and aren’t fed with steroids and antibiotics. Pregnancy is all about getting your body hormones and chemicals to work together and produce ovulation, if your body’s chemical is all whacked out…how do you expect a chance to conceive?

Another food to eat when you are trying to conceive is the fatty acids. Huh? I know you’re confused because fatty acid is not a food and it sounds very unhealthy to eat “fat” in the form of “acid”. Relax, we’re not talking about unhealthy fat and you won’t get fat with the fatty acids. In fact, it’s very healthy and will increase the chances of you getting pregnant. It one of the best fertility “food” you should be eating. (and you should get a bunch of fatty acids every day) What food contains fatty acid you ask? Well, fish that are fat like salmon are high in fatty acids but please do not mistaken this for eating raw fish when trying to get pregnant because eating sushi is strictly forbidden as you’ll see in the “worst things to eat and drink if trying to conceive” segment below. OK, let’s get back to our topic of healthy fatty acids. Other than fish, you can get fatty acids at places like fish oil (think omega 3), eggs and any dark green vegetables.

One last thing, there’s an organ that is directly linked to your reproductive system, if it’s not in good condition, the reproductive system will be in bad shape. This is beyond the scope of this article so I won’t be discussing it. (this is a food that affects fertility after all) It’s detailed inside pregnancy miracle at page 106, click here to download it. And this concludes the top ten best fertility foods you should eat all the time segment.

The top ten worst foods you should never eat when you are struggling to get pregnant.
Did you know for example that there is a certain beverage which can
decrease your chances of conceiving by 50%?

Now that you know the foods to eat if you are trying to conceive, we will be talking about top ten worst foods you should never eat when you are struggling to get pregnant . Please don’t take this lightly as these food will really cause a lot of havoc in your body if you eat them in excess. Plus, it’s not healthy for the bay. Let me explain, as you probably know, the baby’s first develop the heart, brain, spine and the nervous system in the first 6 to 8 weeks. And you might not even that you’re pregnant in these short time period. So, imagine eating all the junk food that will be affecting your baby’s brain, and nervous system, not to mention the spine. It would be a disaster if the baby is greatly affected by this. So if you’re trying to get pregnant, just stop eating all the food listed below or you risk your baby and your chances of conceiving one.

Without further ado, lets start the top ten worst foods you should never eat when you are struggling to get pregnant segment. To really understand why food matters, you must know this one fact. The immune system can affect your organs and the blood flow. And with these two function greatly affected, your reproductive system is also affected. (all the bodies organs and functions are interlinked, remember?) So the best advice I can give you is to eat for two when you’re trying to conceive, not in calorie sense but in nutrition sense. But you should also remember that too much of some nutrition will lead your body to become unbalanced and this will affect fertility. In this article, I gave you a list of food to eat when you are trying to conceive and a list of the most dangerous food to eat when trying to conceive but to get the complete list and the amounts to eat, I suggest you download pregnancy miracle. (it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee)

Ok, onwards.

First of all, you should avoid acidic foods like a plague because your PH level will be greatly affected by it. An unbalanced PH level in your reproductive system can greatly inhibit conception so it would be wise to balance your PH level by eating lots of non-citrus fruits, vegetables, and even herbs to balance it out. Here’s a list of fruits to be eaten to conceive. (try not to eat any other fruits as it will affect your chances of getting pregnant)

Raspberries

Grapes

Apples

Pears

These fruits will not disrupt your body but don’t over eat them either.

Another surprising little white substance that you should avoid eating at all cost is the white sugar. It’s hard to imagine that such a harmless looking substance can actually reduce your chances of conceiving a baby but it really does. I would say that it’s one of the top three in the top ten worst foods while trying to get pregnant list of mine. I would really avoid any food that contains lots of white sugar like cakes, sodas and soft drinks like coca cola.  Note that this includes starchy carbohydrate type of food like potatoes because they are converted to glucose (sugar) once they’re metabolized in your body. (And this includes french fries, I know this is depressing but trust me it’s worth it when you get the baby) Another deadly white substance is the white flour that are normally contained in bread and pasta. (hey, nobody said it’s going to be easy )

Here’s the worst thing to eat and drink if trying to conceive. Caffeine and alcohol. Stop taking them, period. And you should stop smoking too. (i know this is common sense but it need to be said) Drugs and medications that are unrelated to any health issues and pregnancy should be stopped once you’ve consulted your doctor (important, I’m not a doctor so you should consult your doctor on everything I say)

I always get the question, “can you eat too much fish when ttc?” Sometimes they’re more specific like is tuna fish bad when you’re trying to conceive. The answer to both questions is yes. Let me explain, you can eat too much fish when ttc (trying to conceive for those who don’t know) because fish contains mercury, but not all fish contains high level of mercury unless it’s a predator fish (fish that eat another fish to survive) like tuna and shark. So that’s why you can’t eat too much predator fish when you’re trying to get pregnant.

Now to continue on the same line of food that contains harmful things that you shouldn’t eat. Let’s continue to foods that contains bacteria. Example of these kind of food would be soft cheese like brie and bleu cheese. You should also avoid raw eggs, unbaked cookies and sushi, There’s however two kind of food that falls into the same category as a “food that contains harmful things” that I didn’t list here. To get the complete list, download pregnancy miracle here. (it’s very surprising and very common food that you probably think is healthy)

You cannot force pregnancy to happen fast. But you can try by having sex during your most fertile days. Knowing your ovulation may be quiet a challenge especially if you have an irregular period but there are other ways to know if your ovulating or not.

1. Breast tenderness

Before ovulation, a woman’s hormones changes. She can feel a lot of changes like breast tenderness. If you happen to have this symptom and been monitoring it for months then it can be a sign that your fertile.

2. Ovulation predictor kit

There are a number of ovulation predictor kits that you can buy over the counter. You can keep track of your ovulation using this at the start of your menstrual period. You need to try it for 2-3 months to know exactly when it will test positive most of the time

3. Charting your basal body temperature

Your basal body temperature is your temp at rest. You can get this perfectly right after you wake up in the morning before doing anything else. Usually a digital basal thermometer is the best instrument to use. Ovulation usually occurs when there is sudden drop in your temp followed by a surge on the next day.

Eating healthy foods can also be a factor that can help couples in getting pregnant easily. Nutritionist Yvonne Bishop-Weston, recommends that couples should change their lifestyle and diet if they want to get good results in their quest of conception.

For men, she recommended that eating eight portions of organic fruit and veg a day, in addition to an antioxidant supplement, can help to boost fertility. Ms Bishop-Weston said that improving male fertility was a factor often ignored in the conception period.

“Male factors account for about 30-35 per cent of cases of fertility problems and nutritional therapy has shown a good success rate,” she said.

Ms Bishop-Weston also said that women attempting to conceive should try and eat a “rainbow” of different fruits, as each different colour carries a different nutrient.

Other factors such as maintaining a healthy weight, getting enough sleep and reducing stress levels can also help to speed things up, she said.

Can yoga really help in getting pregnant easily? A lot of couples will attest to that but there is no scientific explanation supporting these claims.

It’s really advisable to try yoga when you are in the brink of giving up in your trying to conceive goal. A year of trying will make any couple think that they are infertile. But before jumping into conclusions try yoga sessions first and then try also living a healthy lifestyle. Maybe this will work for you.

How can it help?

Yoga is known as a very relaxing exercise for the mind and body. It can help refrain stress from settling in a couples mind thus making them concentrate on the matter at hand. Stress can be a hindrance for proper hormonal function that is very needed in getting pregnant. It can also meddle in the proper functioning of ovaries to produce healthy eggs.

So if you wanted to eliminate stress then it is advisable to do some yoga exercises regularly.
