  • Smoking accelerates the loss of reproductive function in men and women, and has negative effects on the respiratory system. Different studies show that smoking brings menopause forward by one to four years. These studies also confirm that the number of sperm and the level of egg maturity in women is notably lower in smokers.
  • The consumption of alcohol alters the ovulatory and menstrual cycles in women and causes loss of sperm quality in men. These two factors will make it far more difficult to achieve pregnancy. In addition, alcohol can also be a direct cause of miscarriages in the early stages of gestation.
  • Couples wishing to have children should avoid or reduce coffee intake. This substance interferes with sperm motility and different studies show that caffeine consumption in women increases considerably the time it takes to achieve pregnancy. Even women undergoing fertility treatments can make their waiting even longer simply because of the habit of drinking coffee.
  • An unhealthy diet leads to a lack of essential nutrients or to become overweight. It is well known that certain foods promote ideal conditions for fertilization and that others keep it away, like for example refined sugars, saturated fats, etc.
  • Obesity is a great enemy of fertility. Maintaining an adequate hormonal balance is a key element in reproduction and overweight triggers metabolic abnormalities, causing alterations in ovulation and ovarian function, leading to various conditions of the reproductive system. In some cases obesity causes anovulation, which means that no eggs are produced and therefore the woman remains infertile. It can also cause amenorrhea, that is, menstruation with irregular rhythms at intervals of more than three months, clear symptoms of hormonal disorder. In some cases, obesity is even related to the formation of polycystic ovaries.
  • Obesity is directly related to sedentary life which negatively intervenes in all our body functions. The eggs you produce and the embryo itself can be affected by the lack of physical activity.
  • Chronic and sustained stress is extremely harmful. Sustained stress has been proven to shorten the lifespan of cells, including reproductive cells. Constant or permanent stress keeps abnormal levels of oxidative hormones and alters pheromone production. Remember that your body needs to feel at peace in order to give you the chance of bringing a new life into the world.
  • Adequate physical rest is essential to promote fertility. Without a restful sleep it is impossible to reach the hormonal balance you need to get pregnant, as it is during deep sleep cycles when more than half of the reproductive hormones are released.
