How Changing Your Diet Can Influence The Sex Of Your Baby
from: Adwina JacksonBoy or girl, boy or girl.... Which is it? Many parents enjoy the
ups and downs of trying to guess the gender game when it comes
to a baby.
For others selecting the sex of their baby is serious business.
Believe it or not, there are scientifically grounded strategies
for influencing the sex of your baby one way vs. another. No,
this isn't magic it's just body chemistry.
Your diet can actually influence the pH of your body, making
your vaginal secretions either alkaline or acidic, which can
influence your chances for having a boy or girl.
Now, that said, changing your diet alone will not guarantee that
you have a boy or a girl. But it can turn the tide in your favor
if you are anxious for one sex or another.
Girl Baby Diet
You should eat foods rich in calcium and magnesium. Here are
some dietary suggestions for mom's who want to conceive a girl
baby:
- Eggs - Milk or Milk Products - Salt Free Food - Ice Cream -
Tangerines - Grapefruit - Apples - Lettuce - Carrots/Veggies
Boy Baby Diet
You should eat foods rich in sodium and potassium.
- Salted meat products - Fish - Sausage - Rice - Potatoes -
Beans - Peaches - Bananas - Apricots - Melons - Tomatoes - Sweet
Corn
Of course it is not guaranteed that you will have a boy or girl
simply by changing your diet. Other things you can do to
influence the gender of your baby is to time intercourse.
Research suggests that timing intercourse a few days before
ovulation will result in a girl, whereas timing intercourse the
day of or day before ovulation is more likely to result in a
boy. This is because the male Y-sperms are considered weaker and
will die off before you ovulate if you have intercourse earlier
in your cycle. There are other studies that suggest that men who
wear tighter underwear or keep their scrotum warmer are more
likely to have girl babies, because the boy's Y-sperm need a
cooler temperature to survive.
Ultimately there are no guarantees when it comes to choosing the
gender of your baby. There are some scientific methods that
involve 'spinning' sperm, but many of these are still under
research and can be quite expensive.
No matter what method you choose, remember to have fun. The end
result of your efforts is a beautiful baby regardless of their
sex.
