Social Distancing is going on all over the world. For many of you who are trying to conceive and going through the fertility process, treatments are postponed. While this is a trying time for everyone here are some tips that you can do to prepare for natural conception while staying home!
- Nutrition is such an important thing. Make everything you put into your body count! Having a healthy diet consisting of legumes, vitamin D, good fats such as salmon and olive oil and oysters. Having a daily amount of zinc and B-vitamins keeps your fertility tract healthy.
- Stop drinking sodas and coffee. Switch from caffeine to non-caffeine teas. Caffeine can increase the time it takes for you to get pregnant. Switching to a tasty non-caffeine herbal tea blend will not only help to keep the body relaxed but it also cuts the caffeine from the system.
- Staying Hydrated! It’s so easy to forget to drink water with all these quarantine snacks looking at you in the face. One thing that keeps the mind and body clear is water. Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day, more if you are active, is recommended to keep your body hydrated, flush out toxins, circulate your blood and help with fertility.
- Doing acupressure points at home is a great way to keep the body stimulated and prepped for when it’s time to begin your fertility treatments again. Our very own Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Dr. Tynes can video chat with you and teach you those points from the comfort of your own home. Just click the link to book your consultation and four sessions with the doctor from the comfort of your home. https://www.hopefsc.org/bookings-checkout/consult-treatments-w-dr-4-weeks/book
- Stretching and yoga will also keep your body relaxed and healthy during this time. One day you may sit down to watch an episode of a Netflix show and before you know it, 6 hours later you’ve been sitting in the same awkward position, we’ve all been there! Getting up and doing a quick downward dog yoga pose will surprisingly make you more alert and your body will thank you for that stretch!
Just because we are at home doesn’t mean we can’t be in this together and naturally increase chances to conceive. Check out our new at-home promotion with our Doctor of Medicine and give us a call to book or click this link!
