Boosting Fertility Naturally: Lifestyle Tips & Supplements to Take

Fertility problems in both men and women have been on a steady incline for decades. Research suggests this is likely to increased exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC's) present in our food, beauty and household products, and environment. 

How can I reduce my exposure to EDC's? 

Reducing exposure to these chemicals is becoming increasingly difficult in modern life, and involves making mindful decisions day to day. Here are some steps you can take:

- Eat Organic: Choose organic fruits, vegetables, and animal products when possible to reduce exposure to pesticide residues and hormones. If you have your own garden, use natural pest controls methods.

- Avoid Plastic: Opt for glass or stainless steel for food and beverage storage. 

- Use BPA-Free Products: Select products labelled BPA free as this is one of the most common EDC's. 

- Consume Filtered Water: Use a water filter such as Santevia Alkaline MINA Pitchers to remove contaminants.

- Natural Home Cleaning and Personal Care Products: Avoid harsh cleaning products and choose shampoos/soaps etc free of phthalates and parabens. 

- Avoid Synthetic Fragrance: Perfumes and other fragrances often contain phthalates. 

What Else Can I do To Improve Fertility?

- Avoid Ultra Processed Foods: These foods are often full of more chemicals and artificial ingredients than natural whole foods. Many of these ingredients have unknown long term effects and very well could be contributing to a vast array of health problems. 

- Reduce Alcohol Consumption: Alcohol can cause an imbalance of estrogen in both men and women, and should be consumed mindfully.

- Eat a Well Balanced, Whole Food Based Diet: Make sure you're meeting your nutritional needs in regards to consuming adequate calories and micro nutrients. The reproductive system is often the first to take a hit when your body isn't getting what it needs and/or isn't functioning optimally. 

- Manage Stress: Chronic stress will have a negative impact on your hormonal system without a doubt. Find ways to keep this under control using techniques such as yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, and journaling. 

- Regular Exercise: Engaging in consistent physical activity is one of the best ways to balance your hormones for both men and women, especially resistance training.
