Zc31 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 Feels awkard to be posting this but would like to ask if there's any kind of food that you'll increase the intake of to probably make the body stronger, more receptive to getting preggy, etc? Also, any female gynae in the west to recommend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mister_molly 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 I'm not too sure about food per se, but I've read and been told that vitaminE with selenium aides in fertility. That can be found in GNC. Exercise like yoga and pilates is also good when there is focus in the core (stomach),and pelvic muscles. Foods which are high in antioxidants like berries, kiwis, broccoli, celery, etc, should be eaten regularly. Soy-based products should be avoided as it has been reported to affect fertility for both men and women. Eat more fish like salmon for its high omega3 properties. Start taking folic acid daily (400gm at least), hubby and wifey. Men should take Zinc, folic acid, or vitamins that contain those. Cut down on coffee/caffeine, at least not more than 04cups per day, hubby and wifey. Ultimately, timing is also important lah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angel81 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 Stop smoking and drinking, and fertility will increase. That's what I read online. For a lady who smokes, I roughly rem her fertility will drop by about 60%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 1 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 Milk is ok. Soy No. But the soy issue is for men to abstain. Does Wii Fit Really work? lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chronograph 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2009 Are u and partner > 30 or < 30? Age plays a major part in making babies, once you cross 30 everything inside go down hill, female cannot ovulate even with aunty coming regularly every month, male's close brother cannot produce strong bullet all weak and half dead, making things worst work stress lah, junk food we take lah, smoking lah, drinking lah etc. Weigh also, fatter people is 3 times harder, so best way is to keep your diet in check and also keep fit, go gym go jogging etc. The above my wife gyne said one not me hor. Next thing, very important, if the one up there don't give, do everything also useless. I have many friends, heavy smokers heavy drinkers father 2 kids.
