Conceive baby boy by changing your diet before you conceive, and maintaining a certain kind of diet during your pregnancy!

Sounds like one of those outlandish old wives' tales?

Not quite!

Scientists now seem to agree that there is a possible link between what you eat and which gender you’ll conceive.

Pregnant women on high calorie diet are more likely to have a baby boy! Also, eating food rich in nutrients such as potassium and calcium, and vitamins C, D and B12 – seems to upper your chance of conceiving a baby boy!

Where those conclusions came from? Actually, it’s from a new research done at the universities of Exeter and Oxford. The scientists examined the diets of a large number of first-time mothers and found that those who ate a higher number of calories were more likely to conceive with a boy!

Among women with the highest calorie intake before pregnancy - 56 percent had boys.

Women who had boys also ate an additional 300 mg of potassium daily!

Don’t you have an urge now to go and eat a banana?:)

It has been speculated for 30 years in the scientific world that the diet of a mother could predict the gender of a baby. There has been enough evidence that diet in mammals can affect the sex of their offspring. Namely, a lot of mammals when well fed produce more boys, while in starvation situation there are more girls than boys being born.

Seems like there are more nutrients needed to conceive a boy rather than a girl… In any case: now you have one more reason not to skip breakfast!:) Especially when you hear this next piece of statistics:

Eat at least one bowl of breakfast cereal daily and you will have a 87 percent more chance that you’ll conceive a baby boy!

So, treat yourself with an additional serving of steak with potatoes and have a piece of cake:)

But… don’t overdo it! Never forget that proper nutrition is essentially important for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Whatever gender that baby will be!
