Now that the country has opened up the two child policy, many couples are preparing for pregnancy. But for some reason, the chance of successful conception is so low that it has been impossible to conceive many times. In fact, the reduced chances of conception are related to years of dietary habits. So, what to eat to reduce the chances of pregnancy? Next, let's take a look together.
What to eat to reduce the chance of pregnancy
1. Research has shown that cigarette smoke contains strong carcinogenic and teratogenic substances. If women smoke heavily, it can interfere with and damage normal ovarian function, causing menstrual disorders, premature ovarian failure (manifested as early menopause), and infertility, affecting egg quality.
2. Excessive alcohol consumption may harm the function of the reproductive system, lead to endocrine disorders, and cause changes in the structure and number of reproductive cell chromosomes. Alcohol can hinder the development and maturation of female eggs and male sperm. So if you smoke and drink alcohol for a long time, it will be difficult to conceive successfully.
3. A study by the American Institute of Science has found that women who drink too much coffee are less likely to become pregnant. Because coffee contains caffeine, excessive intake can reduce the secretion of estrogen in your body. If the secretion of estrogen in the body decreases, it may have adverse effects on the ovulation function of the ovaries, thereby affecting female fertility.
Is it difficult for overweight women to get pregnant
1. If a woman is too fat, excessive body fat will cause the conversion of testosterone into estrogen, resulting in an increase in estrogen production. Meanwhile, obesity can also alter the metabolic pathway of estrogen, producing estriol. In this way, the hormones in the body of overweight women do not have periodic activity like the estrogen secreted by the ovaries, and therefore cannot induce ovulation.
2. Women who are too overweight have long-term effects of high levels of estrogen in their bodies. Without progesterone to counteract it, it is easy to cause endometrial hyperplasia, leading to menstrual disorders, uterine fibroids, and other diseases. Excessive increase in testosterone levels in the body can also inhibit follicular development, leading to amenorrhea or infertility.
From this perspective, women still need to possess many health conditions in order to conceive. Pregnancy is not something that happens in a day or two. If you can't conceive for a long time, don't be too anxious and take good care of your body first. Smoking and alcohol are very deadly, and women who want to get pregnant must not smoke or drink. Nothing is more important than the health of their child.
