4Reduce Alcohol Consumption and Reduce Stress
Consuming too much alcohol may have negative effects on fertility. Nevertheless, it is still unknown how much alcohol may lead to this effect. A recent study has shown that more than 14 drinks a week was linked to a longer period to become pregnant. Another research has suggested a link between high intake of alcohol and more health checks for infertility. It is better to stay away from excessive consumption of wine or beer if you want to improve fertility. [4]
If you are planning to become pregnant, stress should be addressed. Being under a lot of stress may affect your fertility and reduce the chance of conceiving. This is mainly attributed to the chances in hormonal levels caused by stress. Therefore, make sure to relieve stress to improve your fertility. Some useful tips include going for a walk, reading, playing with pets, talking with your friend or loved ones, meditating, doing yoga, deep breathing, and more. [5]
