Sport (but not too much)
Regular physical activity contributes to good general health, since it reduces the risk of pathologies such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.
In terms of fertility, sport helps regulate cycles and stimulate ovulation in women. In men, it stimulates spermatogenesis (the concentration of sperm).
On the other hand, sport in excess (10 hours per week) is not recommended because it increases oxidative stress and can lead to a micronutrient deficit. Now we know that a good nutritional intake influences fertility.
Refresh your sperm
With the summer heat, it is important that our partner keeps his testicles cool to preserve the vitality and health of the sperm. The ideal temperature of the private parts should be 2 degrees lower than the rest of the body. Tight clothes, saunas, Jacuzzis and electronic devices on the knees are to be avoided in men.
Regular sex
Making love regularly increases logically the chances of getting pregnant. Not to mention that sex is good for your health. All the more reason to enjoy it without moderation.
Sleep well
Essential to a healthy lifestyle, having a good restful sleep fights against fatigue and a fortiori stress, harmful to fertility.
Watch your line
Obesity, overweight or conversely thinness can reduce the chances of fertility. The time to get pregnant is on average 4 times longer in underweight women (BMI <19) and twice as long in overweight women (BMI> 25 kg) compared to women with less weight. normal weight.
It has been proven that excess weight affects the quality of the ovaries and eggs but also that of the endometrium, which results in a disruption of cycles but also to miscarriages and more frequent complications during pregnancy. .
To relax
Breathing, blowing, relaxing is essential when you want to have a child because we know that stress can block ovulation. There is still a long way to go: more than one in two women who have encountered difficulties believe that their infertility is due to psychological factors, recalled a survey for Magic Maman published in 2014. Gentle and relaxing activities that improve psychological well-being are therefore welcome. The choice is vast: meditation, cardiac coherence, relaxation therapy, yoga, gardening …
Other bad habits to chase
If we do not want to see your chances of pregnancy go up in smoke, we think of limiting or even stopping everything that serves as a poisoned gift for the future baby. Exit alcohol (or a glass of wine a day), tobacco. We also limit exposure to chemical products and solvents when cleaning (we protect ourselves with gloves, and we favor less aggressive products).
