Healthy Drinks Help You Get Pregnant

Researchers from Brazil analyzed more than 5,000 eggs from over 500 women to study the effect of food on their fertility treatment. And the report they presented to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, mentioned how fizzy drinks and even low calorie sweeteners negatively impacted the quality of eggs and embryos. The report also mentioned diet drinks that resulted in a profoundly negative impact.

According to The Daily Mail, Professor Adam Balen, Chair of the British Fertility Society, “the “false promise” of artificial sweeteners have a significant effect on the quality and fertility potential of a woman’s eggs.”

So drink healthy, increase your chances of getting pregnant.
