When the desire to have children arises, this issue does not concern only the woman. At best, the man prepares for this situation together with her and supports her lovingly. Exercise in the fresh air and a balanced diet with many vitamins and trace elements ensures high sperm quality.

How do I support fertilization?
On the one hand, fertility depends on biological factors such as age. In women it decreases from the mid-30s and in men from 40 and so it can take longer to get pregnant.
In women, the intake of folic acid is particularly important. The folic acid level is ideally raised to the appropriate level beforehand. Folic acid supports the cell division process, the formation of blood and the growth of maternal tissue. For this reason, especially if pregnancy is planned, make sure to avoid folic acid deficiency. Consequences of insufficiency can mean neural tube defects for the embryo, expressed in open spine or brain malformations. The additional intake of 400 µg of folic acid can reduce this risk by 70%.
Even if one does not need supplements in principle, in this particular case taking supplements is recommended and proven because it is very difficult to absorb this heat-sensitive vitamin through food alone.
In men, fertility additionally improves the minerals selenium and zinc. Selenium supports the production of sperm and zinc ensures normal sperm formation. Because of plant estrogens in soy products, consumption is not recommended, as they can have a negative impact.
What is the nesting?
For pregnancy, the fertilized egg must make its way through the fallopian tubes to the uterus. There it first attaches itself to the lining of the uterus, penetrates it, and then nests there completely, like in a kind of nest. Docked to the mother's bloodstream, implantation is complete and pregnancy begins.
Abstaining from tobacco use, according to an Austrian study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29375149/ promotes the thickness of the uterine lining, which is favorable for implantation. Vitamin C and E should also be mentioned here, which have a vasodilatory effect and thus promote the build-up of the uterine lining. Whole grain products support the desire to have children, because they also have a beneficial effect on the uterine lining.
Pregnancy
During the 40 weeks of pregnancy, the female body has complex tasks to master and therefore the micronutrient demand is higher than at any other time of her life. Since the fetus only has the nutrients available that the woman has taken in through her food, it is important to pay attention to a balanced diet at all stages of pregnancy.
Normal thyroid function is an important prerequisite for a healthy pregnancy. Pregnancy is a special challenge for the thyroid gland, because about 50% more thyroid hormones are needed at the beginning of pregnancy. This is where iodine and the trace element selenium come into play, which are of crucial importance in the formation of these hormones.
During pregnancy you should abstain from:
raw or insufficiently heated eggs,
- Raw milk and raw milk cheese,
- raw or undercooked meat,
- cold-smoked meat and
- cold-smoked fish
In total, the following types of cheese may be consumed during pregnancy:
- Semi-hard and soft cheeses made from pasteurized milk but without rind: Gouda, butter cheese, Leerdammer, Tilsiter, Edam, Cheddar, Brie, Camembert.
- Hard cheese (if necessary also from raw milk), without rind: Parmesan, Emmental, mountain cheese
