If you’re considering having a baby, it’s never too early to improve your body’s fertility.  The earlier you create healthy habits, the easier your pregnancy will likely be.  Here are a few things to consider implementing into your lifestyle immediately.

A healthy diet

You are what you eat, and so is your baby.  To improve fertility, focus on eating as much raw green leafy vegetables as you can.  To your greens, add in a colorful rainbow of other vegetables and fruits.  Include healthy whole grains such as quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, millet and basmatti or jasmine rice.  Lean proteins are also important.

Exercise

Move your body into greater fertility. This doesn’t have to be aerobic exercise, but studies show that a certain kind of strength and weight training can stimulate growth hormone. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) has the ability to help balance every other hormone in the body.  For simple tips on increasing your growth hormone naturally, see this resource. { read more }

Potential fathers: Did you know that you can eat to boost your fertility mojo? Research shows that there is a clear relationship between male fertility and food, and that certain foods have a positive and potent effect on a man’s ability to help his partner conceive. This means that preparing to get pregnant is a planned and combined effort by both partners nutritionally and sexually.

According to the American Pregnancy Association, what you eat can make a difference in your ability to help your wife or partner conceive. Proper weight range, exercise, and diet are all major factors in your fertility as a male partner. However, there are certain fertility-enhancing foods that can help improve sperm quality, production and health. We’ve narrowed it down to these five power foods.

1. Oily fish

Fish, such as salmon, sardines and mackerel, is an excellent source of essential fatty acids (EFAs), omega-3 and omega-6 oils. These properties are said to enhance sperm development and improve overall sperm quality and function. What’s more, these fish are rich in L-Arginine, which according to Marrena Lindberg of The Orgasmic Diet, is nature’s own “Viagra.” Ideally, men should consume between three to four portions of fatty fish a week in order to experience better erectile performance and longer sex sessions.
