Studies show that as we become older the quality of women’s eggs and men’s sperm decrease. The quality of eggs/sperm can also occur due to exposure to radiation, pollutants and toxic chemicals. In this article, I specifically want to talk about aging and it’s affect on fertility. As we age, our body is basically decomposing. The gene pool is protected when the young and strong reproduce vs. the old and weak. As we age, our body’s tend to ache more easily and we can’t do as much as we used to. Our hormone output decreases and the overall energy of the body is less. Of course, the older you are, the more this is true. Your saving grace is taking care of yourself. Did you ever have a car that you maintained well? You made sure to get regular oil changes and tune ups. They tend to last a lot longer because of the maintenance that was done to it. Likewise, if you have taken care of yourself then there is no reason why you can’t get pregnant, maintain a pregnancy and have a healthy baby.
What does taking care of yourself mean? I always say take away the bad first. Alcohol, substance abuse, bad diet, overwork, lack of sleep are just some examples of things that need to be changed. First and foremost, decreasing or having very little stress in your life is vital. Second, having a diet that will increase the blood and energy in the body. Third, adequate and good quality sleep and finally, moderate exercise. In addition, you can do Acupuncture and Herbs. My philosophy is that your egg and sperm quality will automatically improve by decreasing stress levels ruling out any other known factors. Since stress hormone decreases the hormone output of the body, egg and sperm development will be compromised. Acupuncture will not only raise the energy (hormone levels) in the body, but it will also relax the body decreasing stress. Next, I believe that your egg and sperm quality will improve with the use of Herbal Medicine. The beauty of Herbs is that they can literally turn back the clock of time. Many women will notice more and better quality cervical fluid which is the number one sign of fertility and ovulation. They will also notice increased interest in sex. Men will notice that there libido improves and the quality and amount of semen/sperm improves. If you can turn back the hand of time to improve your sperm and egg quality, then you will improve your chances of having a healthy baby.
