The current socioeconomic situation combined with the growing trend among young people to leave it longer than ever to get married has resulted in family planning beginning much later in life. Unfortunately, the older we get, the more difficult it becomes to conceive. Nevertheless, if couples wish to improve their chances of conceiving successfully, there are various options available to them. In addition to having sex more frequently – especially during ovulation, which can be calculated by counting through a menstrual cycle – couples can practice meditation to relieve stress in the relationship, take good care of their general physical health, exercise regularly, and crucially, eat a healthy diet consisting of foods that can play a vital role in helping women conceive.

90% of couples who regularly have sex without using contraception will conceive within 1 year. Therefore, if a couple has been regularly engaging in unprotected sex for a year without success, they may wish to analyze their diet to see if they are getting the right nutrients necessary for a healthy body and a strong reproductive system. To this end, the following tips are recommended:
Eating a healthy, varied diet, containing all the 5 main food groups in moderation, as well as avoiding fatty food, caffeine, alcohol, and processed products will go a long way to keeping your body healthy, strong, and prepared for a pregnancy.
Women who are having difficulty conceiving may want to try supplements to increase their chances of becoming pregnant, while also reducing the likelihood of disease. Nevertheless, another aspect which should not be ignored is the training of the mind to deal with stress and anxiety, as these can lead to relationship pressures that could play a key role in reducing the chances of successfully conceiving.
