Diet To Help You Choose Your Baby's Gender

By Olivia Campbell


While there are many various things that can decide the gender of your child to be, the dietary choices you make may have a big impact. When it comes to the natural way of gender selection, there are a certain number of techniques that can be done. Sure, the techniques do not come with a guarantee, but almost all couples who have tried them are content. At the end of the day, it is a 50/50 fighting chance, but there are a few things you can do to swing the percentage in your favor.

The foods that you eat can have an influence on the future gender of your child for a variety of different reasons. Yet, the number one reason is that different PH levels usually lead to a different baby gender. The sperm that carries the chromosomes that decide gender require a different PH for a successful trip towards fertilization.

To fully understand why the PH levels are important, you need to know the differences between each type. First, the sperm responsible for conceiving a boy carries the Y chromosome. They are small, agile and must reach their destination quickly before they expire. They need an alkaline environment to reach the egg properly.

The sperm liable for conceiving a girl carries the X chromosome. These are larger when it comes to size and although they are the slow swimmers, they live much longer. An acidic environment is best.

Food to balance your PH leves really does play an important role. Let's take a look at what foods are important to include in your diet for either sex.

Baby Boy

You will eed foods that have potassium and sodium for a baby boy. They are non acidic by nature and will boost your alkalinity. The advised foods are bananas, sweet corn, red meats, and even sausages. It is significant however that you consume these foods in moderation and pair them with a healthy and balanced diet for proper health. Having excess salt is never encouraged. Stay within proper dietary guidelines constantly.

Eating for a Girl

Foods that are good for acidity are great for conceiving a baby girl. They are foods that are full of magnesium and calcium. Broccoli is the best example of a food that contains high levels of both. Other foods you could take in include grapefruit, apples, dairy products, some fish (farm raised to avoid high levels of mercury) and leafy green vegetables.

Keep In Mind...

Moderation and proper nutrition are key. If you especially want to up your chances, then you should follow the methods and follow the proper diet too. Visit your doctor if you have any questions about the foods that you should be eating.
