11 Natural Fertility Tips Backed by Medical Experts

8. Reduce toxin exposure at home and on the go

Everyday chemicals can matter for reproductive health. Clinicians advise reducing exposure to known endocrine-disrupting chemicals when possible—things like BPA in some plastics or pesticide residues on produce. Practical swaps are simple: use glass or stainless steel for food and water storage, choose fresh or thoroughly washed produce, and avoid microwaving food in plastic. Smoking has a clear, negative effect on fertility for both partners and should be stopped; this is one of the strongest lifestyle changes for improving odds. Alcohol moderation is also advised. In typical Indian kitchens, storing pickles and chutneys in glass jars and avoiding old or darkened plastic containers are easy habits that cut exposure while fitting traditional routines.
