What could be the natural ways to boost fertility?

Here are some evidence-based, natural ways to support and enhance fertility.

Optimise the diet: “It is advised that a diet rich in nutrients can have a significant impact on hormone regulation and reproductive health. Women should increase their intake of leafy greens, whole grains, berries, sweet potatoes and legumes. A diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats and fibre also does wonders. Men should increase their intake of zinc (pumpkin seeds), CoQ10 (meat, fish), antioxidants (vitamin C and E) and reduce processed meat, trans aft and excessive soy,” stated Dr. Gunjan Gupta, well-known gynaecologist Ghaziabad and Director & Founder of Gunjan IVF World – the best IVF clinic in Ghaziabad. Gunjan IVF World is the three times winner of North India’s best IVF clinic chain by Economic Times and has four highly advanced centres in Indirapuram, Janakpuri, Meerut and Noida.

Maintain a healthy body weight: “It is important to maintain a healthy weight. In women, being underweight or overweight can disrupt ovulation while excessive weight in men can reduce sperm count and motility. A BMI between 18.5-24.9 is ideal but focus should be more on the overall body composition and health rather than just numbers,” said Dr. Garima Sharma, Centre In- Charge and Consultant at Gunjan IVF World – a leading IVF clinic in Janakpuri.

Moderate to light exercise is a must: Regular moderate to light exercises can improve hormonal balances, insulin sensitivity and stress management. Excessive workouts can disrupt ovulation.

Manage stress well: Stress can impact fertility because it can lead to imbalances in hormone levels and ovulation. Natural stress reduction techniques that couples can include in their daily routine include meditation, yoga, deep breathing exercises, etc.

Tracking ovulation and menstrual cycles: To boost fertility naturally, it is necessary for women to know their fertile window which can be done through Basal Body Temperature (BBT) tracking, Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs), cervical mucus monitoring, etc.

Reduce alcohol, smoking and caffeine: It is vital to limit or avoid alcohol completely. Caffeine intake should be kept under 200mg/day and smoking should be avoided completely as it harms egg and sperm quality.

Take supplements if advised by doctor: Health supplements can be considered post checking with a doctor. Women can take prenatal vitamins with folic acid, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, CoQ10 while men should take zinc, vitamins E & C, L-carnitine, selenium, etc.

Address underlying medical conditions: Health issues like PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid irregularities or insulin resistance can affect fertility. It is advised to treat them first before going for fertility treatment.

Have regular intercourse: Always try for regular intercourse every 1-2 days during the fertile window. Avoid using lubricants that may impair sperm motility.
