No, we are not talking about British scientists, although they are quite prolific in terms of incredible discoveries. The study was started by specialists from the University Hospital of Zurich, the Swiss capital. They figured out the best time to conceive a child. And it turned out to be suitable for early risers.
The study involved more than 7 thousand men aged 25 to 40 years. All of them were undergoing treatment for infertility. Swiss scientists analyzed semen samples from all “experimental” and came up with an interesting theory. Experts believe that sperm have their own biological clock. And they are most active in the morning, until 7:30. So if you’re trying to get pregnant, set your alarm early.
In addition, the month of the year is also important. According to experts, the highest quality sperm is produced in the spring – in March, April and May. Apparently, it’s not for nothing that spring is called the time of love!
The doctors also named the reasons that prevent couples from conceiving. In addition to quite logical age and health conditions, they were quite curious. It turns out that in men who are sedentary, fertility decreases. Affects the quality of sperm and overheating: truckers, taxi drivers, lovers of baths, saunas and hot baths are at risk. And even keeping a laptop on your lap is not advised.
Smoking is one of the possible causes of infertility in women. It turns out that nicotine causes increased secretory activity in the cells of the fallopian tubes. Because of this, the fertilized egg cannot attach to the wall of the uterus. Not to mention, smoking can negatively affect DNA structure.
In addition, women who are trying to conceive are advised to give up tea and coffee. These drinks can cause miscarriage due to the caffeine they contain. It also reduces male fertility: even two cups of coffee a day may be too much.
