Alkalize for Fertility and Health: Fertility Foods that Increase Egg Quality

BY  ON MARCH 6, 2016

Alkalize for Fertility and Health: Increasing Egg Quality and Your Chances of Getting Pregnant with Fertility Foods.

Can  pH levels affect egg quality?

Can our pH levels, in other words our acid-alkaline balance, affect egg and sperm quality conception, implantation, and just about every organ function involved in getting pregnant?
The answer is a resounding yes.
If your cervical fluid is too acidic, the sperm will have a hard time reaching the egg or even surviving in an overly acidic environment. What I see in the Fertile Heart retreats is that a lot of women and men who are meat eaters or are on some form of high protein diet, tend to be acidic.

Do’s and Don’ts of Tilting the Scale toward an Alkaline, Conception Friendly Environment

I have touched on the subject of acid alkaline balance and explained the basic ideas of pH levels in the “Ally in the Cupboard chapter of The Fertile Female.This page hopes to give you a few basic no nonsense guidelines on maintaining a conception friendly alkaline Holy Human Loaf.

What does that mean in practical terms to maintain a healthy acid alkaline balance?

  • Begin with making sure that all is well with your digestion-elimination  because acidic waste can be re-absorbed  from the colon into the liver and make your system too acidic.
  • Replace or decrease the consumption of acid forming foods such as caffeine, alcohol, sugar, dairy products with alkalizing foods.  See a sample list of foods at the bottom of this document.
  • Your feelings, thoughts, actions are also tilting the scale toward either a more alkaline or acidic environment. The Fertile Heart Imagery, Body Truth  and all of the ideas of the I.B.O.W. practice   are meant to support your nervous system balancing all organ  functions.
  • Pleasurable exercise, massage, journaling, engaging in creative pursuits are all calming and as such alkalizing activities.
  • Learn  how the foods you eat affect your body’s acid-alkaline balance. But above all, please don’t use this information to drive yourself crazy with regard to food and fertility.  Instead see if you can use the information to engage your kitchen-creativity and experience the power you have to be your body’s  chief change maker.

Below is a brief list of fertility foods to jump start your alkalizing experiment:

Is it OK to drink alkaline water daily? Can one become too alkaline?

Is it OK to drink alkaline water daily? Can one become too alkaline? For excellent health, it is important to drink naturally alkaline water daily. Doing so supplies the body with the alkaline minerals it needs to buffer acid. While all of these minerals are not nutritionally available, they do buffer acid.  In the case of naturally alkaline water, it is recommended to drink at least two liters per day. Since the alkalinity is a result of naturally alkaline minerals like calcium and magnesium, the body is capable of using the minerals it needs and storing or discarding any excess. You cannot become overly alkaline drinking naturally alkaline water. Among best natural alkaline water is Kangen Water .

Brokerages bet on 10 stocks in times of volatility

Moneyontrol collated a list of 10 stocks that could give double-digit returns in 2020. Returns are calculated based on the closing price of January 6: Brokerage: Edelweiss Adani Ports : Buy | Target: Rs 450 | Return: 18.4 percent Extending its acquisition spree, Adani Ports and SEZ’s (APSEZ) acquired 75 percent stake in Krishnapatnam Port (KPCL) in an all-cash deal of Rs 5,500 crore (EV of Rs 13,500 crore).
