Is there any yoga to improve fertility?
(Last Updated: Feb 1, 2010)
Fertility is a critical and rather sensitive topic which has not been fully understood. Considering the lifestyles and choices that are rampant today, there are a growing number of people facing different kinds of fertility problems. One has to understand that factors behind fertility and causes of infertility are numerous. Moreover, the problem could lie with either partner and there has to be plenty of patience and understanding when dealing with fertility problems. There are a number of yoga positions which are believed to help with fertility. This school of thought has led to the branch of yoga which is commonly known as fertility yoga. While the effectiveness of such yoga in helping a person to conceive is debatable, yoga itself does have many benefits. It could help you and your partner if you look at such yoga from the angle of relaxation. Yoga can prove to be extremely helpful when one is dealing with stress. One has to remember that stress is not good for one’s chances of getting pregnant. This may seem rather ironical considering how stressful it can be when one is faced with fertility problems. One can turn to yoga as well as other techniques that one might find useful in letting go of the tension and stress that one is prone to. The focus of such yoga could also be to offer one better health in general. Overall health is one of the best ways of boosting one’s chances of conception.
Improving your fertility should necessarily focus on overall health. A great way to start would be to take a good look at what you end up putting on your plate. Vitamins and nutrients are best had from vegetables and from different kinds of fruits. Couples should endeavor to eat healthier meals and to take care of their health. This also extends to exercise, since it is important for both to be fit and to stay at a weight that is considered healthy and appropriate. For women, being overweight can deeply impact chances of conception. It could benefit the couple if they opted for a proper health checkup. This is an important step if one wishes to improve fertility because there are a range of diseases which could come in the way and affect one’s chances of even conceiving a child. For instance, the woman would find it best to seek treatment for menstrual disorders so as to better her chances of getting pregnant.
