Can your diet before pregnancy determine the sex of your baby?
According to mainstream medicine, the sex of your baby is determined by which type of sperm (male or female) reaches the egg first. If a sperm successfully fertilizes the egg, it develops into a fetus and eventually a baby.
Whether you have a boy or a girl depends entirely on which sperm reaches the egg first — a male sperm with a Y chromosome or a female sperm with an X chromosome.
Although more research is needed, changing body chemistry through diet might influence the environment to favor a specific sperm type.
Vaginal pH plays a key role
A woman’s monthly cycle involves varying pH levels (acidic and alkaline) in her reproductive tract, potentially affecting baby’s gender. Making the environment more favorable to either male or female sperm can influence baby’s sex.
Experts suggest that an alkaline environment may favor Y sperm (resulting in a baby boy), while an acidic environment may favor the X sperm (resulting in a baby girl). However, it’s important to note that no method today can guarantee the desired outcome. Just give it a try!
