How to conceive a boy or a girl? Try with the right nutrition

When a couple decides to embark on the journey destined to conceive their child, they begin to find out about the period of ovulation, the supplements to take, calculate in detail the best time to

conceive, measure temperature, follow a healthy diet…

… what if the diet could also somehow affect the sex of the unborn child? Have you ever wondered?

In reality, the biological processes that take place to ensure that the sperm fertilizes the egg cell are many, but it seems from recent studies, some attributed to the famous scholar Joseph Stolkowski, that in some way the diet of the parents, but above all of the mother, can direct conception towards one or the other sex: it seems in fact that the diet followed by the mother in the months preceding conception, influences the pH of the environment and of the vaginal secretion.In fact, if this is not very acidic it is very probable that a nice boy will be born as the spermatozoa carrying the Y chromosome group would live well in a basic environment, on the contrary, if it were acidic, it would favor the birth of a pretty girl because it would immobilize the Y spermatozoa favoring the spermatozoa carrying the X chromosome (for clarity  see here how the sex of a child is determined ).

At this point let’s see which foods are capable of making the vaginal environment basic or acidic:

The first group, i.e. the “pro-boy” foods, includes:

• Potassium-rich foods : all vegetables (especially leafy greens), orange juice, whole grains, sunflower seeds, mint (the leaves), potatoes, garlic, dates, figs, dried fruit, raisins, apricots, bananas, berries, grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, melons, apples, peaches, all kinds of meat and brewer’s yeast…
• Foods rich in sodium : seafood, cod, sardines, tuna, salmon, soy sauce, cold cuts, sausages, cheeses, bread, pizza…

In the second group, and therefore “pro female” foods we find instead:

• Foods rich in calcium : milk, yoghurt, cheese, eggs, legumes, vegetables (spinach, cabbage, cardoon, broccoli, watercress, onion, seaweed), shellfish and seafood, dried fruit, tea biscuits, milk chocolate…
• Foods rich in magnesium : brown rice, whole wheat, barley, beans, walnuts, cashews, peas, corn, parmesan cheese, coconut…
• Foods rich in copper : Calf and sheep liver, dried mushrooms, oysters, dark chocolate, bitter cocoa, soya flour, squid, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pepper…

 For the diet to be successful, the couple should follow it for 60 or more days before conception (it is not necessary for the man to follow it too, but if done in two it is much easier to be constant), and not only the diet!

In fact, to be “safe” one should also pay attention to the positions to be kept in bed. In fact, to prevent male sperm from stopping in an excessively acidic environment, one should perform vaginal penetration from behind, in this way the spermatozoa are positioned directly at the mouth of the male’s neck. uterus, on the contrary for the other group, intercourse should be done face to face so that the sperm stay longer in the vagina where the environment is more acidic…

I conclude with my very personal thought: well, whether it’s male or female, the important thing is that it’s healthy!

And I will be biased, but what I recommend is always to follow a healthy and balanced diet because your body is ready to support and promote the development of a healthy and strong child inside your womb.

…But if it’s true that trying doesn’t hurt, try and check! 😀
