Regular coffee consumption can increase the likelihood of pregnancy

Caffeine: Getting pregnant faster through coffee?
Mating is often recommended as the strangest method when children are unfulfilled. Some people think that certain positions could help with sexual intercourse. Others point to a healthy diet and to keep their hands off cigarettes and alcohol. Coffee, on the other hand, should be drunk. A new study suggests that caffeine could increase the chances of getting pregnant.

Coffee is healthier than expected
Although coffee was long considered harmful to health, today it is known that the popular hot drink is healthier than most people believe. It can be good for the heart and also prevent arteriosclerosis. In addition, according to scientific research, coffee can reduce colorectal cancer risk and reduce the risk of dementia in women. A new study now suggests that drinking coffee may also increase the chance of getting offspring.

Caffeine pushes eggs
For fatigue there is no better remedy for many than coffee. The hot drink pushes not only humans, but also ova.

Chinese researchers from Huazhong University in Wuhan report in the journal "Oncotarget".

The team of scientists found in experiments on mice that their oocytes are not only longer fertile under caffeine influence, but can also form fertile embryos after fertilization.

Studies with mice
To get to their results, the researchers took the animals egg cells and the feeding cumulus cells. When the egg cell ages, the cumulus cells separate, resulting in cell death. Under caffeine influence, however, this often did not happen.

According to the scientists, caffeine was missing several signs of the aging process. This obviously increases the chances of offspring:

While 62 percent of caffeine-treated cells were successfully fertilized, this was not possible with conventionally cultured oocytes.

Whether the new findings also apply to humans, would have to show further research.

Influence of coffee consumption on the pregnancy probability
The influence of coffee on the likelihood of becoming pregnant has also been studied in previous studies.

For example, an Italian study published in 1997 showed that coffee consumption had a positive impact on the probability of pregnancy.

However, other research indicates that women who drink a lot of coffee have to wait longer to get offspring. (Ad)
