- Make the decision that this year is it! Commit yourself wholeheartedly to this decision. Don’t guard yourself from disappointment or pretend you are ‘just waiting to see what happens’. If you want a baby this year, prepare your mind, your body and your life for this.
- Change your drinking water from tap water to filtered water. This is such a simple and inexpensive lifestyle change. Unfiltered water has toxins that affect your hormone health. Grab a counter-top filtered jug for home and work like these BRITA – easy!
- Include fertility-boosting foods in your diet – eggplant, pomegranate, fish, avocado, eggs, green leafy vegetables and warm nutrient-rich foods
- Eliminate poor quality foods from your diet – processed foods, refined sugar, caffeine, alcohol, gluten, raw and ice cold foods
- Get to sleep before 11pm each night. Between 11pm and 1am is the Liver ‘repair’ time. Your Liver is responsible for hormone and menstrual balance, stress management and ovulation and it can’t do these roles effectively if it is not given the time to heal each night.
- Get out in the sunshine and exercise 20-30 minutes each day. Vitamin D has such a huge role in hormone health and fertility and exercise keeps that Liver moving stagnated energy.
- Breathe – your breath is responsible for your metabolic rhythm. As often as you remember, take 10 deep breaths. This also helps deal with stress and anxiety.
- Enjoy life! Your heart needs to be happy to conceive a child and the heart needs joy to be happy. So do what you love and spend time with the people you love xx
