An Alkaline-Low PH Diet to Conceive a Boy

Within the last year, I’ve found that people are starting to buy into the idea of natural ways to select your baby’s gender. Perhaps it’s the economy or perhaps it’s because people want to take control of their own health, but I’m starting to get a lot of emails that ask less about things like IVF gender selection and more about natural things like timing conception and going on an alkaline diet. In this article, I’ll describe how and why the low PH diet works if you want to conceive a boy.

How And Why These Natural Methods Of Choosing Your Baby’s Gender Work: In a nutshell, your baby’s gender is determined by which sperm chromosome (X (for a girl) or Y (for a boy)) gets to and fertilizes the egg first. These chromosomes are polar opposites in terms of how they interact with your reproductive tract. The girl or X sperm are slow, but very strong and hardy. The Y or boy sperm are vulnerable and weaker, but are also faster. If you want a son, your goal is to downplay this vulnerability while taking full advantage of this speed.

How And Why The Low PH / Alkaline Diet Helps You Get A Son: Remember that the Y sperm are very weak, so they can’t live for very long in an acidic, hostile vaginal tract that has a high PH. So, you’ll need to lower this if you’re trying for a boy baby. One way to do this is to go on a special diet that restricts how many acidic foods that you consume and gives you free reign to eat alkaline foods. So, you’ll avoid foods with a high PH like pickled foods, blueberries, peanuts, and meats like beef and pork. And, you’ll want to load up on low PH foods like leafy green vegetables, raisins, grapes, apples, almonds, and green tea. There are food lists that you can give you the exact PH of common foods and help you come up with a daily diet. I know that few people get really excited about restricting what you can eat, but understand that you aren’t limiting your calories (in fact, you’ll want to make sure that you get enough if you want a son) and you only have to do this until you reach your optimal level.

Another thing that you can do to lower your PH is to douche. Again, I know that this may not sound particularly exciting, but this is only for the short term and you’ll likely see very quick results when you combine both of these methods. Know too that often baking sofa is not as effective as people will tell you. You can test this for yourself by using testing strips that will test the PH of your saliva. You can get these at health food stores and you can use them to determine your acidity going into this process and to monitor your progress as you try different things. It’s very common to see that using both methods together will bring about the fastest and most dramatic changes. It’s entirely possible to get to where you need to be using only foods, but this often requires a bit of patience.

Other Things For You To Think About In Your Regimen To Conceive A Boy: I wish that I could tell you that changing your diet or douching could absolutely guarantee you a boy baby. It does greatly increase your chances, but it often isn’t enough to give you the over 90% rate of success that you can get if you add in other things. The first is correctly timing your conception to coincide with your ovulation. To get a male baby, you’ll want to conceive on the day that you ovulate. Again, testing your saliva can help you greatly with this. (Saliva ovulation predictors are both inexpensive, reusable, and reliable.)

One other variable that you can manipulate is the sexual positions that you use to conceive. Positions that allow for deep penetration will deposit the Y sperm very close to your egg and vaginal tract so that these little guys have a quick and easy trip rather than a long and difficult one.
