Help Prevent Infertility – Basic Tips for a Healthy Life
There may be nothing women can do if their infertility is associated with either genetic and/or physical issues or with an illness.
The American Pregnancy Association has suggested the following steps women can take to decrease the likelihood of a future infertility issue:
- avoid sexually transmitted diseases
- do not use illegal drugs
- avoid excessive alcohol
- adopt good personal hygiene and general health practices
I think that all of these steps are useful practices for a long, healthy life in general without the specific focus on infertility. It is not on their list but it might be good to consider limiting the number of legal drugs that one uses (within reason of course). The APA did not include nutritional needs on their list. It goes without saying that we are what we eat and that good health (and you could argue, fertility) are the result of choosing a nutritionally-balanced healthy diet.
The silly new year’s resolution season is almost upon us. It is a good time to start focusing on what we want for ourselves in the year to come and start now rather than waiting until 2009. Life coaching is a very useful tool for personal support and accountability that many people find useful when making significant changes in their lives.
