Natural Fertility Boosters for Men and Women
1. Know the Fertile Window
Pregnancy is most likely in the 6 days ending on the day of ovulation. In a regular 28-day cycle, ovulation is usually around day 14. Intercourse every 2 to 3 days throughout the month also covers the fertile window without stress.
2. Healthy Weight for Both Partners
Being significantly overweight or underweight can disturb ovulation in women and lower sperm quality in men. Even a 5 to 10% weight loss can make a difference for overweight couples.
3. A Fertility-Friendly Diet
| For women | For men |
|---|---|
| Folic acid 400 mcg daily, leafy greens, daal, eggs, iron-rich foods | Zinc (pumpkin seeds, meat), walnuts, eggs, fish, fruit and vegetables |
For men, see 5 foods that can boost sperm health.
4. Sleep and Stress
Aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Chronic stress affects hormones in both partners. Prayer, walks, breathing exercises and open communication help.
