That\u2019s why you\u2019re encouraged to cut down on smoking, alcohol and caffeine, and why it\u2019s so important that you get a moderate, but not excessive, amount of exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How hydration can affect fertility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our basic health is crucial for fertility. Having a healthy baseline makes a world of difference as you try to get pregnant and staying hydrated is one of those healthy habits that can make a difference. Dehydration can lead to low sperm count as well as decreased egg health, so it\u2019s not just important for you to stay hydrated, but for your partner or donor as well. Hydration also plays a role in the hormonal regulation that\u2019s key to fertility, and in the production of cervical fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydration doesn\u2019t need to come from water alone, if you\u2019re not a fan of the plain stuff. You could try adding flavor to your water through a squeeze of lemon or other fruits, which can make your hydration much more tasty. Lots of fruits and raw vegetables are also water-rich, so adding more diverse fruits and vegetables to your diet can also help you get a head-start on boosting your fertility through nutrition, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the big, underlying themes of almost any fertility tip you get is that you&#8217;re much more likely to get pregnant if you&#8217;re just generally as physically healthy as you can be.
