What is infertility? According to World Health
Organization: “Infertility is “a disease of the
reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy
after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse (and there is
no other reason, such as breastfeeding or postpartumamenorrhoea).
Primary infertility is infertility in a couple who have never had a child.
Secondary infertility is failure to conceive following a previous pregnancy.
Infertility may be caused by infection in the man or woman, but often there is
no obvious underlying cause.”
With so many couples dealing with infertility issues these days (up to ten percent of all couples have a fertility problem!), finding ways to naturally boost fertility is on the minds of many. Luckily, fertility is something that can be easily affected by a few simple changes and lifestyle modifications in the majority of cases. Diet and exercise is one of the best ways to improve fertility and your overall health as well.
If you are overweight, doctors say losing as little as five to ten pounds can dramatically increase your fertility. Getting enough sleep and reducing your stress load are also important when it comes to fertility, since the stress hormones have a negative effect on fertility hormones as well. Smoking, drinking and drug use can all hurt fertility and should be stopped if couples want to have the best chance of getting pregnant.
