Avoid Exposure to Toxins and Chemicals
When it comes to fertility, both men and women should reduce direct or indirect exposure to harmful toxins and chemicals. These substances would result in damaged or reduced sperm count in men and menstrual problems in women. If you have to work with these chemicals at work, it is important to wear proper protective equipment and clothing. Several toxins and chemicals to avoid if you want to become pregnant include:
– Chemicals for hair treatment in salons
– Manufacturing and industrial chemicals
– Agricultural chemicals
– Organic solvents, such as those in dry cleaning chemicals
– Nitrous oxide if you are a dental assistant or dentist [9]
