Low Sodium and Potassium Intake Raises the Odds of Having a Baby Girl
According to a study on the impact of diet to baby gender, women who are trying to get pregnant with a girl should avoid sodium and potassium foods. Of the 30 mother wannabes who followed the prescribed baby girl diet, eighty-one percent conceived a female baby. The trial started two months before planned pregnancy and lasted until conception is diagnosed through a home PT.
Why Should You Limit Sodium and Potassium?
Reducing the intake of sodium and potassium foods helps alter the mineral content of the uterine environment. This affects the texture of the cervical mucus in a way that will make it more nurturing to the girl sperm. There is a particular type of cervical mucus that allows for the fertilization of the ovum by the baby girl sperm, and it turns up when the level of sodium and potassium in the body is low.
