Get Pregnant With Twins - By Changing Your Diet
Many couples would jump at the chance to get pregnant with twins! Whether you are looking to begin your family, or simply expand, and are wanting twins, you may be wondering if there is anything you can do to increase your odds?Actually...Yes!
In order to increase your odds to get pregnant with twins you need to change what you eat. Changing your diet and sometimes lifestyle can increase your chances.
There is a tribe in Africa who has the highest rate of twins on the planet. What's their secret? Primarily their diet. They consume cassava (a yam) regularly. The skin of cassava, or of yams contains a chemical which can cause a woman to release more than one egg. The yams cause the body to produce more progesterone, which is also essential in keeping a baby from miscarrying. The women of this tribe will sometimes chew on the yam during their first trimester to help keep from losing their babies.
Another important fact to know about their lifestyle, to increase your odds to get pregnant with twins, is that when they do try to conceive, they rest a lot. Resting during the day may help your body to focus its energy on ovulation and with adding the cassava to your diet, plus resting more, you may get a double blessing!
Women who consume dairy regularly are 5 times as likely to get pregnant with twins as women who don't. So another quick solution to help you conceive twins, would be to simply drink milk!
What are my chances of having twins?
Approximately 1 in 30 births are twins. And identical twins are even less common...actually only 1 in 250 births.
More Twin Facts
As a woman ages her chances increase. A woman over 30 has a higher chance of having twins then a woman in her 20's. And a woman who is over 40 has the greatest chance of all.
Being slightly overweight seems to increase the odds as well. Maybe it is because a woman who is overweight has enough body fat and body mass to carry twins...or maybe it is because they are more prone to hormonal imbalances? Not really sure. But the facts are the facts.
In summaryEating cassava and consuming more dairy are very easy ways to increase your chances of having twins. If you do find an African market that sells cassava, or you order it online, or buy the vitamin form... you need to keep one thing in mind.***Try to avoid consuming it until you are ovulating. Consuming it prior to ovulation can actually keep you from ovulating, because of the fact that it increases the progesterone in your body. The recommendation is to consume it during or immediately following ovulation.
