Being overweight could be so saddening, am sure you would agree with me by the time you must have gone through this write up. A healthy diet is very important for women who are trying for a baby. Being overweight can affect a woman's fertility and can cause complications during pregnancy. A woman who is overweight and is planning a pregnancy would be advised to lose weight before she conceives.

Many women that are overweight often experience irregular menstrual cycles which can have a serious impact on how easily they can conceive. A high amount of body fat can cause an irregular production of estrogen, which throws off the body’s ovulation and menstruation cycles causing infertility to occur. Men that are overweight often experience low sperm levels as well as sperm with poor motility which can further add to fertility troubles. This generally occurs because when a man is overweight there is a higher level of fat around the testicles, which causes testicle temperature to rise. This increase in temperature affects sperm quality and can actually kill off sperm, causing a lower chance of healthy sperm to be present for egg fertilization. Well I have good news for everyone who wants and are willing to do everything possible to take that weight off, I stumbled into a weight loss program it is called the Venus factor, to see an overview click here.
