Did you know that exercise is good for physical and
mental health, but know that moderate exercise can help you get pregnant?
Exercise helps to reduce body fat, which can make a big difference for some
women.
Connection fat / estrogen /
fertility
How about 30% of the estrogen comes from fat
cells, too much fat - or too little - may alter the hormonal balance,
reducing their chances of becoming pregnant. A level of body fat, 10-15%
above or below normal can contribute to infertility.
Moderate exercise, regular, can burn excess fat, boosting fertility, energy
levels and heart health. If you do not exercise regularly, start slowly,
making the activity part of your daily routine. Eventually, you can develop a regular routine. Thirty minutes a day,
4-5 days a week can make a difference to their levels of fat.
One last thought
It's not about blame. Many factors are involved in
infertility, so you should not blame yourself if you have ever taken a
sedentary lifestyle. See this as an opportunity to increase your odds of
getting pregnant while improving your health.
