Tips to overcome infertility

Many people in India are struggling from infertility and they all have different stories to tell about their infertility journey. Today, the lifestyle plays a pivotal role in your fertility; let’s see below some tips to overcome infertility permanently:

Let’s start with outing; don’t sit - go out and walk:  

Walking is an ideal pre-conception exercise. It is a great cardiovascular exercise especially if you step to a reasonable pace and it also helps to tone your legs, back and tummy. All these are very important in treating infertility as being fit is the most integral part of your conception plan. So, go for a regular walk in the morning and evening. 

Sugar is the biggest enemy:

Every time you eat foods that are high in sugar, your pancreas produce insulin to convert the sugar in your blood into energy.  And if this is repeated frequently, you may develop insulin resistance which results in diabetes. High levels of insulin slowdowns the ovulation process and causes PCOS, which further contribute to infertility issues.

Improve your chances of conceiving

By Dr. ShobhaGupta

Want to improve your chances of conceiving and having a healthy, happy pregnancy? Here’s how to get your body in the best shape for conception.

Healthy Weight

Being significantly over or underweight can reduce your chances of conceiving. A healthy BMI is between 20 and 25. If you fall outside the ideal range, try to lose or gain weight before conceiving. Underweight women are more likely to have irregular periods and, in severe cases, ovulation can stop altogether. According to a study women with a BMI between 35-40 had a 23-43% less chance of pregnancy when compared to those in the healthy range. It’s always a good idea to stay healthy by working out regularly and eating nutritious foods, but especially if you’re trying to conceive.
