3️⃣ Optimise Lifestyle Factors

• Reduce caffeine intake
• Aim for regular, moderate exercise

4️⃣ Focus on Nutrition
• Eat a balanced diet rich in:
• Iron, folate, zinc
• Omega-3 fatty acids
• Consider prenatal vitamins (after medical advice)

5️⃣ Investigate Both Partners

• Male factor infertility accounts for up to 40–50% of cases

Low muscle mass + excess fat isn’t just about weight — it can silently affect fertility in both women and men.

🔹 Hormonal imbalance
🔹 Reduced egg and s***m quality

🔹 Lower success rates with natural conception and IVF

💡 The good news?
Targeted nutrition, resistance training, and early intervention can improve muscle health, metabolic balance, and reproductive outcomes.

📌 If you’re planning a pregnancy or struggling to conceive, assessing body composition — not just BMI — matters.

✨ Epigenetics & Cancer: What You Need to Know ✨🌱

Did you know your genes aren’t the whole story?
Epigenetics is the way your body switches genes on or off — like a light dimmer. And these tiny switches can play a huge role in cancer.

🔬 So what happens?
When those “gene switches” become damaged by stress, toxins, smoking, poor diet, or simply age, the body may turn protective genes OFF and harmful genes ON.
Over time, this can create the perfect environment for cancer cells to grow.

But here’s the inspiring part:
✨ Many epigenetic changes are reversible.
✨ Your choices can help protect your cells.

🌟 Small steps that support healthy gene activity:
• Nourishing foods
• Movement and fresh air
• Managing chronic stress
• Avoiding smoking and toxins
• Prioritising sleep and emotional wellbeing

Your daily habits don’t “change your DNA”…
They change how your DNA behaves.

💬 Share this with someone who needs a reminder that their health is powerful and change is possible.

Too much sugar doesn’t just affect your waistline—it can age your skin and impact fertility.

When sugar sticks to your body’s proteins, a process called sugarification happens. This makes your skin less elastic, causing wrinkles, sagging, and dullness, and can even affect your chances of having a baby.

💛 Couples, take care together:
• Eat fresh, whole foods 🥗
• Drink plenty of water 💧
• Stay active 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
• Prioritize good sleep 😴

Protect your skin, your health, and your future—because aging gracefully starts now! ✨💑
