Are you experiencing difficulties getting pregnant? Are you wondering how to increase fertility? If so you should look at your energy levels.
For many people feeling stressed and tired has become an acceptable norm. Some people are almost proud of their fatigue. Almost as if it's a badge of hard work and dedication. We expect to get tired as we get older. Once upon a time you could jump out of bed feeling energized and the reflection in the mirror showed a fresh and glowing person, but now after pressing the snooze button repeatedly you still can't drag yourself to the shower.But what does this have to do with how to increase fertility? Fatigue is the symptom and the end result of hormonal and immune imbalances in the body. It's not, as is often believed, the sign of approaching hormonal issues. By the time you start feeling fatigued on a regular basis, the imbalances have already taken place. A healthy pregnancy requires an abundance of energy, hormonal balance and a healthy immune system. Adrenal exhaustion, insulin resistance and imbalanced estrogen and progesterone can concoct an internal body climate that's not suitable for a new life. It can even make living in your own skin unbearable for you.
