Protecting fertility (Part I)


Protecting fertility (Part I)

It is a fact that many women now choose to delay conception period. But many have discovered over time that it is not always easy to get pregnant - a cruel joke of fate given how they made some effort to avoid becoming pregnant.
As women exercise a growing influence in controlling their fertility, they, and their partners should be aware that not all contraceptive methods and lifestyles help them preserve the qualities and skills to design for moment you choose, you will feel right. And as they age need to take increasingly more measures to protect fertility.
However many of the issues are beyond the control of the individual, but it is important to know that you have the ability to protect reproductive system of negative factors, harmful and to use this ability.
How to take care of you, your life, both physically and mentally, medical tests, medical examinations and routine gynecological affect fertility. Age is one of the major factors affecting fertility: important is to take care of your health, and doctors will suggest some steps in this direction, which I present to you in the following.

Body care and health in the preconception period is based on a conception of obtaining easy, healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby:
1. You need to know exactly what foods and substances will deteriorate fertility and accelerate aging cell body.
2. Body detoxification and cellular regeneration allows removal of toxins from the body.
3. Fertility Diet provide vitamins, minerals and everything the body needs for healthy ovulelelor and sperm, supporting and developing a healthy pregnancy.

Every day we come in contact with harmful factors and fertility body recognition, harmful factors adding to pressure on the cells. Should help to relieve stress and detoxify the cell to protect the body from other types of toxins medications.
Protecting fertility (Part I)
Protect your fertility! The ...
Protecting >>> fertility of adipose tissue, extreme weight (overweight, underweight)
Fluctuations impact of weight excess fat on your body and fertility:
** Hormonal and ovulation, menstruation;
Higher risk of failure ** if in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (death or abortion);
Body produces excess estrogen ** and more male hormones - leading to infertility;
Overweight or underweight women ** ovulation may disappear;
** If the coefficient of fat is less than 22% when ovulation may be stopped due to failure of estrogen (estrogen is stored in fat, it is one that ensures the functioning female reproductive system);
Normal ** weighing more than average increases insulin levels in the body and prevents the ovaries from releasing eggs normally.
Obese men ** to reduce the number and quality of sperm.

Amount of adipose tissue is closely related to the amount of estrogen that your body secretes
For men fat deposited around the testes increases the temperature in the genital area and this is why sperm death.
Protecting >>> fertility nutritional deficiencies
To avoid: trans fats (unsaturated fatty acids, fats and partially hydrogenated hidrogentate commonly found in fast food, snacks, chips, margarine, pizza, pastries, biscuits, refined oils and refined double used for cooking, etc. - preferably oil olive and canola), artificial sweeteners, caffeine, food additives such as MSG (Monosodium glutamate), food / water contaminated fatty acids, simple carbohydrates (sugary foods), white flour, sweetened drinks.

Conservatii processed foods and additives in food and products that are attractive, tasty and resistant to normal storage conditions - significantly reduced fertility (tests on animals). In addition, they also generate obesity that lead to other diseases and heart disease, vascular and infertility.

Vegetarians often fall into a pattern of what they call a "healthy diet" by avoiding animal products, but not enough attention to "imitations" of their vegetarian (vegetable sausage) that contain a lot of chemicals and additives that make its products be similar, have similar taste but without any trace of animal products (flavor enhancer, colorings, preservatives, etc.).

It is difficult to insure a healthy diet and all the minerals and nutrients your body needs from the foods and unprocessed, organic, because they are produced in unsafe environmental conditions, polluted. Moreover, to withstand the conditions of storage, transportation and presentation they are frozen, fried and reinghetate, chilled, vacuum, scanned, irradiated, coated with various thin wax protection and a multitude of toxic substances that we put them in the body even when food is processed. Through these processes, actions, most nutrients are destroyed and therefore food is again modified, altered: they are "enriched" or "fortified" with various minerals and vitamins.

Another common misconception is related to seafood consumption considered healthy. But a deeper analysis of the issue you will find that polluted water generated genetic modification of many marine creatures, why would not negatively affect our body? Fish, edible mollusks are loaded with mercury deep water and shallow water the fuel and toxic chemicals poured into water.
Protecting fertility (Part I)
Nutrition disorders
Eating disorder generates a lot of imbalances in the body and therefore affects the fertility of men and women. The good news is that although the effects of nutrition disorders are devastating on the body there is a chance for conception if the woman (and man as a contributory factor in 50% conception) must reach a normal weight and be healthy and stable fit for conception (which sometimes it is impossible due to time effects of inadequate nutrition).
The risk of infertility increases if bulimicelor, anorexicelor, those who follow a reduced calorie diet, those who exercise and excessive sports (marathon athletes, dancers).

Conversely, a level 10-15% body fat above average body loaded with estrogen and interfere with reproduction.
Protecting >>> fertility of certain dietary supplements and drugs.
Avoid: recreational drugs, antidepressants, drugs for heart disease and high blood pressure, supplements for enhancing sexual performance, certain drugs used in hormone therapy.
Protecting >>> fertility vices: smoking, drugs, alcohol, excessive consumption of caffeine
Impact of smoking on fertility
** In women, cigarette smoke is bad and the fallopian tube motility by affecting oocytes fertilized egg to attach to the uterus or embryo implantation;
Reducing overall blood circulation **, and implicitly in the genital and pelvic and reproductive organs;
** Affect the growth and development of the embryo;
Smoking ** egg deteriorates, thereby diminishing its quality and ability to be fertilized, increases the risk of miscarriage;
Decreases the number of eggs aspirated ** if harvesting of eggs for in vitro fertilization;
** Decreases the quantity, quality and motility.

Impact of alcohol on fertility
Reduce production ** reproductive hormones for men and women;
** Decrease libido;
** Issues concerning the egg and sperm morphology (which generates chromosomal abnormalities, malformations);
** Determine the quality and motility low sperm;
** Constrict blood vessels including those that supply blood and nutrients ovaries (and testicles) cause loss of large numbers of eggs early (accelerated degeneration);
Speeds ** menopause in women with at least 3 years;
** Interferes with the ability of the ovaries to produce estrogen;
Diminishing ovarian reserve ** speeds.

Impact drugs (steroids, marijuana, cocaine, etc.) on fertility
Sperm morphological defects ** and eggs;
** Decrease sperm motility;
** Diminished sperm production.
Protecting >>> fertility effects of environmental pollution, toxic substances
Certain chemicals (in different categories and different use more or less frequent) reduce the level of fertility in both women and men.
Environmental pollution (soil, water, air) daily obey risks on health and fertility. It is important to minimize these risks as much as possible. Many harmful chemicals some more, some less harmful in small amounts, pour in water, soil and air are eliminated. For example pesticides used to protect crops arriving in grocery and supermarkets affect health (even if fruits and vegetables are washed thoroughly, they often penetrate into the soil and then the composition of vegetables, fruit).
Medical studies confirm the link between the occurrence of endometriosis and existing toxins in the environment high (dioxin is a possible cause).
Protecting fertility (Part I)
To avoid:
- Pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, chemical emanations of paint, radiation, chemicals and cleaning solvents - random chemical exposure in the environment.
- Estrogen in nature: meat eating fish from areas with polluted water, food packaged in plastic containers;
- Products for cleaning, disinfection (excessive), certain cosmetics etc.
- Dioxin that enters the body through food.
- Chemicals in food packaging, carpets, upholstery;
- Objects polyvinyl chloride or PVC;
- Chemical products for skin, menstruation, cleaning and hygiene products containing phthalates (Phthalate) and parabens, synthetic fragrances, detergents and solvents.

Impact on fertility:
** Disrupting hormone levels (estrogen supplementation on body maintain normal functioning parameters reproductive organs);
** Disorders and menstruation ovulation process;
** Blocking the action of testosterone and mimicking estrogen (female hormone) - so there is a efeminizare male fetus and increase the risk of illness from cancer or infertility them.

Dioxin (produced during manufacture and disposal of plastics) is responsible for many cases of endometriosis. Containing dioxin residues are airborne, water, reach the soil are absorbed by plants, then consumed by animals and eventually end up in the food we consume us. So because meat and dairy products are very exposed to these chemicals. These residues can sit and fruits and vegetables, but if you wash them well reduce the risk of contamination.

Personal care products - cosmetics
Many body care products contain harmful substances such as phthalates, parabens.
Synthetic perfumes (fragrances) in cosmetics, body care products and even cleaning products are represented by these phthalates.
While men tend to come into contact with phthalates less they suffer more serious consequences on the reproductive system than women: decreased sperm production, damage or absent epididymis (part of the male reproductive system), testicular injury or absence of prostate gland or gonads.
Also avoid room fresheners and room sprays that contain these substances. It is recommended to eliminate odors natural products such as baking soda and fresh air.
Parabens often used as preservatives in cosmetics mimics estrogen and is quickly absorbed by the skin having a negative impact on the hormonal system. Similar effects which blocks the activity of endocrine substances (endocrine disruptors) and PVC materials.
Protecting fertility (Part I)
Cleaning harmful substances
Petroleum-based active agents that break the blood easily in water (detergents, water softening agents, agencies asuplare / softening of textiles - fabric softener) were associated with reduced sperm production and testicular size (tests animals). These substances are not biodegradable and pollute the environment. Regarding the effect on fertility, one of the chemicals that are part of the same group of chemicals used as spermicide.
Solvents used in glass cleaning products, carpet, hard surfaces, degreasing and descaling products are related to difficulties in the process of procreation (animal testing). As long as substances penetrate and dissolve tough grease, it is obvious that penetrate the skin and are absorbed easily in the body. Choosing organic cleaning products, biodegradable is difficult given the lack of labeling of products.

Trades and industries which require increased exposure to toxic substances that adversely affect fertility (recommended dropping the toxic work environment or risk minimization): agrochemical industry (non-organic farmers), ammunition and weapons industry, textile industry, cosmetic industry, health (workers working with various solvents and reagents, laboratory), laboratory and chemical engineering, heavy industry, paint industry, plastic industry, garments etc.

What all these have in common environments are harmful substances they are working with, known as endocrine disruptors of functions (which disrupt and interfere with the production, secretion, transport, action and eliminate the body's own hormones) leading to hormonal dezechilbire dangerous and infertility. These are: phthalates, bisphenol A, organochlorine and its metabolites, glycol ether, organic solvents and heavy metals, and chemicals in smaller quantities shampoos, plastic packaging for food (these chemicals pollute the soil and water and reach the food). Read the label of origin of foods and how to prepare!

WARNING!
Useful and important recommendations to protect fertility
1. Consider your lifestyle and eliminate as many as possible nuisances.
2. Keep your health and physical shape through diet and regular exercise (moderate).
3. Adopt organic diet.
4. Use care and organic beauty products, natural, based on natural principles.
5. Perform periodic medical examinations - an early diagnosis can prevent many health problems and fertility.
6. Please read and document as little about the mechanisms of body function and reproductive cycle - the more you are in the topic regarding proper functioning of the body so you can more easily identify anomalies.
7. Protect your immune system - it fight for you to stay healthy every cell to function normally. The immune system is what protects hormonal and reproductive system.
