The start of a new year always brings good intentions and a desire to improve various aspects of our lives. If one of your goals in 2025 is to become a mom or dad, adopting healthy habits can make a big difference on your path to fertility. Here are some key recommendations to improve your reproductive health and increase your chances of conceiving.
1. Maintain a balanced diet
A nutrient-rich diet is essential for fertility. Include fresh foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and lean protein sources. Additionally, incorporating healthy fats like those in avocado, olive oil, and nuts helps regulate hormones and supports the balance of the reproductive system.
Extra tip: Reduce your intake of ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, and trans fats, as they can affect egg and sperm quality.

2. Stay active
Regular physical activity helps maintain a healthy weight, which is essential for fertility. Excess weight or a very low body mass index can disrupt the menstrual cycle and hormone production.
Choose moderate exercises like walking, swimming, or practicing yoga. The key is to keep a consistent routine without overdoing it, as extreme exercise can also impact fertility.
3. Manage stress

Chronic stress can disrupt hormonal balance and make conception more difficult. Practicing relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or mindfulness can help reduce anxiety levels.
Tip: Spend at least 10 minutes a day on an activity that relaxes you, such as reading a book, listening to music, or taking a walk outdoors.
4. Avoid harmful substances
Excessive consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine is linked to reduced fertility. If you're trying to conceive, it's important to reduce or eliminate these substances from your daily life.
Quitting smoking not only improves fertility but also increases the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
5. Consult a fertility specialist
If you've been trying to conceive without success, visiting a fertility clinic can provide the support you need. A specialist will evaluate your situation and offer personalized treatments tailored to your needs.

6. Get enough sleep
The quality of your sleep directly affects hormonal regulation. Sleeping between 7 and 8 hours a day helps balance reproductive hormones, which is essential for a regular menstrual cycle and proper sperm production.
Avoid using electronic devices before bed and create a nighttime routine that promotes restful sleep.
7.Stay properly hydrated
Maintaining good hydration is important for overall health and fertility. Water helps transport essential nutrients and remove toxins from the body.
Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and limit sugary or highly caffeinated beverages.

8. Maintain a healthy weight
Weight has a significant impact on fertility. Both overweight and underweight can disrupt the hormones needed for ovulation and sperm production.
Consult a nutritionist if you need support to reach a healthy weight in a balanced way.
This 2025, adopt habits that not only improve your fertility but also your overall well-being. Every small change counts and brings you closer to your dream of starting a family. Remember, you're not alone on this journey. At Ventris, we are here to support you and walk with you toward the motherhood or fatherhood you long for.
Make this new year a time of hope and new beginnings!
