It is said that women with strong taste are more likely to give birth to boys

Although nowadays, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is not as serious as it used to be. However, after becoming pregnant, mothers will still unconsciously guess whether the baby in their belly is a boy or a girl based on various popular methods. After all, everyone is curious. Recently, there is a saying that women with strong taste are more likely to give birth to boys. Is this true? Let's take a look at the rumors that women are more likely to give birth to boys:

1. It is said that women who like strong-tasting food are more likely to give birth to boys

Contrary to the traditional view that "the sex of the fetus is basically determined by the male", foreign media said that the latest research shows that if a woman eats too much food rich in potassium, salt and calcium before pregnancy, her possibility of giving birth to a boy will increase a lot. In fact, this is the first time that researchers have confirmed that women can also determine the sex of the fetus to a certain extent.

In the study, all pregnant women participating in the survey were divided into two groups for comparison. After they gave birth, statistics showed that women who liked to eat foods rich in potassium, calcium and sodium had a 56% chance of giving birth to a boy, while women with a lighter taste had only a 45% chance of giving birth to a boy.

[Warm Tips]: At the same time, scientists also warn all women that if the salt content in food is too high, it is very likely to cause harm to new mothers and babies. Therefore, blindly changing eating habits does not guarantee the birth of a son.

2. It is easier to give birth to a boy when your husband is around

It is said that pregnant women who have their husbands by their side are more likely to give birth to boys. An experiment compared 86,436 pregnant women and found that mothers whose parents lived together before the child was born were 14% more likely to give birth to a boy than mothers living alone. So, if you want to have a boy, young couples should never have a long-distance marriage!

3. Women who are ambitious are more likely to give birth to boys

It is said that female mammals' eggs with higher testosterone levels are more likely to produce male embryos. Scientists speculate that this is most likely because the egg itself has already set the concept of conceiving with sperm first. In other words, the stronger the desire of an expectant mother is to have a son and the more efforts she makes to achieve it, the more likely she is to give birth to a boy.

4. Female orgasm is more likely to give birth to a boy

The statement that orgasm is more likely to give birth to a boy is as follows: Under normal circumstances, sperm x has stronger tolerance to acidity and ability to penetrate cervical mucus than sperm y, and has a longer lifespan. The proportion of Y in semen with fewer sperm is low, while the proportion of Y in semen with more sperm is high. Therefore, if a young couple wants to have a boy, they must have sexual intercourse during the ovulation period. At this time, the cervical mucus is thin and alkaline, which is beneficial to sperm.

5. It is easier to conceive a boy in summer

Although looking at the ratio of boys to girls born throughout the year, the number of boys and girls born each month is basically the same. Rumor has it that the season also has an impact. For example, high temperature will affect the X chromosome of sperm, making it difficult for a baby girl to be born; while low temperature will affect the Y chromosome of sperm, making it difficult for a baby boy to be born. Therefore, it is easier to create a baby boy in summer or in a high temperature environment, but if the environment is too hot, the sperm may lose its vitality.

6. Sexual posture affects the gender of the baby

There is also a saying that the posture and depth of sexual intercourse can also affect the gender of the baby. If the ejaculation location is shallow, the sperm will take a longer time to reach the uterus; on the contrary, if the ejaculation location is deep, the sperm can reach the uterus earlier. Therefore, you must choose the most appropriate position during sexual intercourse, ejaculate semen deep into the vagina, help Y sperm appear near the cervix as soon as possible, and reduce the difficulty of its long journey through the cervical mucus.
