It’s no secret that diet influences every aspect of our body, from how our clothes fit to how our hair looks, or how fast our fingernails grow. So, it should come as no surprise that our diets can affect our fertility, and namely, whether or not you conceive a boy or a girl. It all comes down to science, and the science shows that eating a diet low in sodium and potassium and high in calcium and magnesium can dramatically increase the chances of having a baby girl.

This so-called “gender diet” can help women by theoretically changing the mineral content of a woman’s uterine environment. This can further change the woman’s cervical mucus to be more conducive to one type of sperm over another. Also, these types of diets can change the pH or the “acidity” of a woman’s body, making it more likely for either boy or girl sperm to be the ones who get to fertilize the egg. There have also been studies on the timing of intercourse in order to conceive either a boy or a girl, but in this article we are just going to touch on the diet aspect of how to conceive a girl.
The “girl diet”, as we will call it, centers on the thought that a more acidic environment is more hospitable for conceiving a girl. Women usually have cervical mucus that is thick and acidic, however, around the time of ovulation, a woman’s cervical mucus will become thick and alkaline. Having alkaline cervical mucus is usually healthier for sperm, but since girl sperm live longer and are stronger than boy sperm, this indicates that they are able to withstand the acidic cervical environment more than boy sperm.
To help boost your chances, know the foods to help you conceive a girl. Women should eat foods high in calcium, however, those foods should be made with milk and without salt, to avoid high levels of sodium. Milk, cheese, yogurt, and eggs are all good sources of calcium. Women should also make sure to eat foods that are high in magnesium, including things like barley and other whole grains, spinach, almonds and artichokes. Oatmeal, broccoli and oranges are also great choices. Women should make sure to avoid foods that are very high in sodium or potassium. This includes things like bacon, processed meats, breads and pastries, and most processed foods. It also includes fruits like bananas. Of course, it goes without saying that there is no guarantee that these methods will work, but they can be very fun to try while you are trying to conceive.
