natural remedies for fertilityThere are some natural things that you can do to cure your fertility issues. In this article three simple things that you can do to enhance your odds of conception will be discussed.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

The first thing that you can do, and this is usually one of the most overlooked aspects of women gaining control over their fertility, is maintain a healthy body mass index (BMI).

Maintaining a healthy body mass index of 20 to 25 provides you with just enough weight to maintain your fertility. If you have a BMI under 20, it is suggested you gain just enough weight to get your BMI into the fertile zone. If you have a BMI over 25, it is suggested you lose just enough weight to get back into the fertile zone. You can have your BMI calculated by your physician, or you can easily enter your weight and height into an online BMI calculator.

Natural, Is it Really Better?

The answer is, it depends on what you want. If you want to have your baby the natural way, then this option is best for you.

There is a lot of talk these days of the different options to get pregnant. There are new technologies and new methods coming up everyday. But sometimes you just want to have your baby the natural way.

Diet

It is best for you to eat a balanced diet of fresh fruits and vegetables (organic if possible), whole grains, and plenty of water, fresh fruit and vegetable juices.

Other allergens such as dairy, nuts or seafood can render the same. You should discuss any possible allergies with your primary care physician, so that you can receive allergy tests. You can also use the process of elimination, but getting an allergy test is far more easier.
