Does Alcohol Hurt?
What will just one beer do? How bad can it really be to have a glass of great wine after dinner? There are many
people that find themselves wondering if they have to give up all of the foods that they love if they are to become
pregnant. While it is important to limit your quantity of alcohol during the months that you are trying to conceive
and it can be something you should think about for your lifetime for overall health, it doesn’t have to be
something you do forever. In fact, after having your baby, you can go back to any lifestyle choice that you may be
interested in. In other words, give it up at least for right now.
Why is alcohol so bad for you? There are a number of reasons for it to cause a problem. First off, it is necessary
to do this because alcohol that is consumed will reduce your chances of getting pregnant by a full 50%! That is a
huge number and is one of the reasons why many people just don’t conceive. If you can, cutting out all alcohol is
the best thing for you to do during this time of your life.
If you just can’t do that, you may want to consider limited the amount that you drink to at least five units less
than what you are currently consuming in any given week. This is equal to about five glasses of wine. If you do
this, you are twice as likely to become pregnant. It was proven in one study in which twice as many women got
pregnant after limiting themselves in this manner over the course of six months.
Why is alcohol so bad? The fact is that alcohol will decrease the sperm count in the male. It also increases the
number of abnormal sperm in the body. It also limits the mobile sperm. Still, there are more reasons. For example,
when alcohol is consumed, your body is less likely to be able to consume much less of nutrients it needs to get
pregnant including zinc. This mineral is the very most important mineral that the man can consume to be
fertile.
The bottom line is that you need to give your body at least three to four full months of consuming less alcohol in
order to conceive. During this time, the least amount of alcohol (preferably none) is recommended.
