Although people's attitudes towards boys and girls have changed a lot, there are still many girls who persistently want to have boys. They have listened to many others' opinions and want to try to see if they can give birth to boys. For example, many people say that eating sodium bicarbonate before pregnancy can help give birth to boys. So, how many days before pregnancy should we eat sodium bicarbonate?
Eating sodium bicarbonate for pregnancy preparation is unlikely to increase the chances of conceiving a boy. This approach has little scientific basis, and of course, it does not have much impact on pregnancy preparation. Sodium bicarbonate is mainly used to treat excessive stomach acid. After ingestion, it reacts with stomach acid and is excreted from the body along with food residue, so it has no effect. Pregnant women should consistently consume folic acid for at least three months to prevent fetal neurological abnormalities.
If women want to increase their chances of conceiving a boy, they can improve their internal environment by eating more alkaline foods. For example, vegetables such as eggplant, lettuce, bitter gourd, and rapeseed, as well as vegetables such as yam, cabbage, and Chinese cabbage, kiwifruit, mulberries, and figs, as well as fruits such as hawthorn, grapes, or loquat, or traditional Chinese medicinal herbs such as gastrodia elata, licorice, polygonum multiflorum, and American ginseng, all belong to alkaline foods.
In addition, washing the vagina with alkaline substances such as baking soda before engaging in sexual activity can alter the vaginal pH environment. Alkaline environment is more conducive to the survival of Y sperm and can increase the likelihood of female bad boys.
