More than six million women have trouble conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy. And around five million men seek medical help for fertility issues.
Fertility treatments are a blessing but they’ve got their drawbacks. So here’s some good news! Meditation , stress reduction and a good laugh can increase (as much as 30 per cent ) the likelihood of conceiving . The hormones in your adrenal system (epinephrine, cortisol, norepinephrine) that regulate and respond to stress affect your central and peripheral nervous system, brain, guts, immune system – and reproductive organs. You can control them, though.
Practicing mindful meditation daily, doing progressive muscle relaxation exercises, getting a massage and participating in group therapy all dispel stress reactions that alter body chemistry. For some women, the benefit is enough to make conception happen. But it takes time to integrate de-stressing into your life. So get started (and get your partner to participate, too). Plus, another fertility booster: Eat a diet rich in omega-3s – salmon and trout – and take 900 milligrams in supplements (the DHA variety) from algal oil to further boost fertility.
