I have been alcohol free for 6 months now and it really has been life-changing! I sleep better, I eat better, I exercise every evening- one simple change has dramatically improved so many other aspects of my health! There is no known safe alcohol intake level- even so called safe drinking levels are associated with increased total body inflammation, poorer sleep, reduced nutrient absorption and increased cancer risks, particularly breast and bowel cancers that are being diagnosed more and more frequently in younger people. For fertility patients, both male and female, the benefits of avoiding alcohol are immense. Hormone levels, regular ovulation, the endometrial lining, s***m count, motility and DNA damage are all improved by quitting alcohol during your fertility journey. We recommend so many health supplements to improve your chances during a fertility journey Monash IVF but it is often the things you can cut out, rather than add in, that will bring the most benefit! Picture of kombucha in a wine glass which can feel as festive and celebratory as a French champagne!
