This article includes four pieces in total: 1. How to Have a Beautiful Baby 2. Men's Best Childbearing Years and How to Have a Boy 3. Lifelong Beneficial Vitamins A, B, C, D 4. Girls, Come Save Your [Pelvis]! Here, I will tell you a secret: if women can consciously eat certain foods during pregnancy, it will have an unexpected subtle effect on the growth and development of the fetus in their belly. Scientifically adjusting your diet can help you leverage strengths and avoid weaknesses, get rid of regrets, and help you give birth to a beautiful baby that satisfies you. The dietary secrets can let you also have a pretty baby. We will introduce the corresponding dietary strategies based on the principles of eugenics one by one.
Improving dark skin tone: If parents have darker skin tones, pregnant women can eat more vitamin C-rich foods. Vitamin C interferes with the formation of skin melanin, reducing melanin deposits, making the baby’s skin white and delicate after birth. These vitamin C-rich foods include tomatoes, grapes, oranges, cauliflower, winter melon, onions, garlic, apples, buckthorn, fresh jujubes, etc., among which apples are the best. Apples are rich in vitamins and apple acid; eating them regularly increases hemoglobin, not only making the skin fine, white, and red but also providing excellent benefits for anemic women, making apples the preferred fruit for pregnant women and children.
Saying goodbye to rough skin texture: If parents have rough skin, pregnant women should often consume vitamin A-rich foods because vitamin A protects skin epithelial cells, making the child’s skin delicate and shiny after birth. Such foods include animal livers, egg yolks, milk, carrots, tomatoes, green vegetables, fruits, nuts, and vegetable oils.
Cultivating glossy black hair: If parents' hair turns gray early or appears dry, yellowish, and falls out, then pregnant women can eat more vitamin B-rich foods. For example, lean meat, fish, animal livers, milk, bread, beans, eggs, seaweed, walnuts, sesame seeds, corn, and green vegetables, these foods can improve the child’s hair quality, making it not only dense and black but also glossy and bright.
If parents are not tall, they should eat vitamin D-rich foods. Vitamin D promotes bone development and makes people taller, especially effective for fetuses and infants. Pregnant women should eat iodine-rich foods during pregnancy, such as seaweed and other seafoods, to supplement the fetus's need for iodine, promote thyroid synthesis, and contribute to the good development of the fetal brain. Among these foods, seaweed is the best, containing rich proteins, fatty acids, and trace elements like calcium and iron. Eating seaweed not only supplements iodine but also promotes human metabolism, enhances the body's infection resistance, and has a brain-nourishing effect.
Having good eyesight: Parents with poor vision or nearsightedness often worry about passing their eye problems to their babies. In this situation, pregnant women can eat more vitamin A-rich foods, such as animal livers, egg yolks, milk, cod liver oil, carrots, apples, etc. Among these, chicken liver contains the most vitamin A, and carrots can promote the increase of hemoglobin, thus increasing blood concentration and is a commonly used blood-supplementing food in Chinese folk medicine.
In addition, pregnant women should also pay attention to the following points in terms of diet and lifestyle during pregnancy:
The last three months of pregnancy are the "sensitive period" for the proliferation of fetal brain cells and fat cells. During this period, pregnant women must pay attention to increasing the intake of protein, phospholipids, and vitamins, and should eat more dairy products, eggs, lean meat, liver, fish, bean products, and green vegetables, ensuring an adequate supply of food. Soy sauce is beneficial for the intellectual development of the fetus.
Calcium and vitamin D intake must be sufficient. Severe calcium deficiency in pregnant women can affect the constitution of the fetus's bones and teeth, and may even lead to fetal malformations. It is necessary to supplement iron and other trace elements, and should often eat vegetables, sea shrimp, etc.
Honey is an excellent health product for pregnant women. Regular consumption of honey by pregnant women can not only supplement various nutrients but also moisturize and relieve constipation, making pregnant women feel cheerful and enhancing the body's digestion and absorption functions.
There are some foods that pregnant women should not eat, such as cold and hard foods like bananas, stone flowers, and wood ear mushrooms; spicy foods like cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, cloves, and black pepper; and foods that affect sexual function like water chestnuts, rabbit meat, fiddlehead ferns, hemp seeds, etc.
Men must read this —— This is the best opportunity to understand yourself better
Reproduction is a significant event for the continuation of humanity. In the past, people generally placed this heavy responsibility mainly on wives, but in fact, husbands play a crucial role too. Therefore, men with reproductive plans should also understand some knowledge about male fertility.
Male fertility years are not capped
You might be familiar with this saying: “A forty-year-old man is like a flower, while a forty-year-old woman is like tofu residue.” Women friends hearing this would definitely feel uncomfortable, but if we refer to reproductive ability, it does make sense, and you have to admit it. The reason lies in the strict reproductive biological clock for women. Once over the age of 35 or 40, not only does their fertility decline, but the risk of conceiving a defective fetus (such as Down syndrome) also increases due to chromosome mutations caused by aging. By the time they reach 50, menstruation stops, ovulation ceases, and they become infertile.
Men, however, present a different "landscape." Their fertility potential is less affected by age. You may have heard stories of men having children at 90 or even 100 years old. Chinese ancient texts have long recorded cases like "an eighty-year-old man having a son," and there are modern examples as well. Twenty years ago, a nearly 90-year-old elder in Guangxi became a father. Internationally, such occurrences are not uncommon either. In Sweden, there was a 120-year-old man who remarried at 85 and had eight children. In the former Soviet Union, a farmer named Akhanhel Buhania married and had a child at 112, which is probably the Guinness record for the oldest man fathering a child.
It's clear that men's fertility years are not capped. Is there scientific evidence? Experts from Munich, Germany, conducted observations on elderly men aged 60-89 and young men aged 24-33, each group consisting of 20 individuals. They tested and compared their semen samples, showing that the sperm of elderly men did not age, and their sperm density (averaging 120 million per milliliter) was even higher than that of younger men (averaging only 78 million per milliliter). Thus, describing elderly men's fertility as robust is not an exaggeration.
Key Point One: The Optimal Fertility Age for Men
Children born to fathers aged 30-35 are the most outstanding.
Although men theoretically retain the ability to father children throughout their lives, from the perspective of eugenics, there is still an optimal age range. Taking sperm quality as an example, although the sperm of elderly men doesn't age, its motility has significantly decreased, with the percentage of immotile and malformed sperm increasing by 20%. The metabolic speed of sperm also declines, producing more waste products, which undoubtedly have adverse effects on offspring.
Additionally, after the age of 35, the level of testosterone in men begins to decline, decreasing by approximately 1% annually. Therefore, similar to women, men also have a reproductive biological clock, albeit with greater elasticity.
According to the rules of men's reproductive biological clocks, research by French geneticist Maurice shows that children born to fathers aged 30-35 are the most excellent. The reason is that men's sperm quality peaks at age 30 and remains high for five years until age 35, after which it gradually declines.
As men age, their sperm, like ova, not only experiences genetic issues but also significantly reduces its ability to fertilize ova. The older the man, the worse the sperm quality, leading to more genetic mutations and higher risks of diseases. To date, about 20 different diseases have been found to be associated with the aging of fathers. Therefore, men who want to be fathers should do so sooner rather than later.
Key Point Two: Abstain from Smoking for Six Months Before Conception
Excessive smoking can cause sperm malformation. Similarly, the number of normal sperm in long-term smokers decreases, averaging around a 10% reduction. Those who smoke 21-30 cigarettes daily show a significant increase in malformed sperm, and those who smoke more than 30 cigarettes daily have an even higher rate of malformed sperm. The longer one smokes, the more malformed sperm there are, and as the number of normal sperm continues to decrease, sperm motility also weakens. Studies also show that sperm returns to normal only after six months of stopping smoking.
Furthermore, analysis of over 5,000 pregnant women revealed that the prenatal death rate of fetuses significantly increased when their fathers smoked more than 10 cigarettes daily. The more cigarettes smoked, the higher the death rate. Moreover, women whose husbands smoke are 2.5 times more likely to give birth to children with defects compared to those whose husbands do not smoke.
Therefore, men planning to conceive should quit smoking early, and their wives should try to stay away from smokers and smoking environments.
Key Point Three: Wait Three Months After Intoxication Before Conceiving
Recently, the issue of declining semen quality globally has attracted worldwide attention. Many experts believe that unhealthy lifestyles, such as excessive drinking and smoking, are major reasons for the decline in semen quality and poor reproductive health. Many clinical physicians report that many male patients do not take drinking and smoking seriously, believing that appropriate control before conception is enough, ignoring the phased impact of such unhealthy lifestyles on their bodies.
Studies have shown that chronic alcohol poisoning leads to testicular atrophy, resulting in a decline in semen quality. Therefore, the damage caused by intoxication to male sperm cannot be recovered in just a day or two. To restore pre-drinking sperm quality, it takes at least three months. Experts suggest that men planning to conceive should wait at least three months after intoxication before allowing their wives to conceive, ensuring the health of the fetus.
Key Point Four: Men Need to Make More Efforts to Have Sons
According to an article in Japan's "Science": Within a certain period before the wife becomes pregnant, the husband can adjust his diet or appropriately increase or decrease exercise and energy consumption to control the gender of the child.
Research results show: If the husband's semen is weakly alkaline, the wife tends to have more boys; if weakly acidic, more girls; if neutral, the chances of having boys or girls are equal. Because if there is an accumulation of more acidic substances in the body, it can cause Y sperm responsible for male births to lose vitality more quickly and more severely, resulting in fewer male offspring in such cases.
Researchers point out that if the husband wants a boy, he should stop intense exercise, reduce energy consumption, and maintain a weakly alkaline body fluid; additionally, he should consume more alkaline foods like fresh vegetables and fruits daily. If wanting a girl, he can appropriately increase exercise and frequently engage in indoor physical labor, slightly acidifying the body fluid, and can consume more acidic foods like rice, fish, meat, poultry, and eggs daily.
Optimal Combination of Spouses' Best Childbearing Ages
Eugenics depends on both men and women, so achieving the best combination of spouses' childbearing ages is crucial. French scientists consider the optimal age range for the best combination to be: women between 25-30 years old, and men between 30-35 years old; at the same time, couples should ideally have an age difference, with the father being about 6-7 years older than the mother.
The reasoning is: during this stage, women's physical and mental development is mature, with high-quality ova, and men's sperm quality is also at its peak, maintaining high quality for five years, forming a perfect match. If conception occurs during this period, complications are fewer, delivery safety is higher, and the incidence of premature births, deformed babies, and mentally disabled children is the lowest, resulting in healthier and smarter children.
In recent years, eugenicists have noticed that the "age difference" between some prodigies and their parents is not unrelated. The most typical examples are Tchaikovsky, the composer of the classic ballet "Swan Lake," and Marie Curie, the Nobel laureate. Tchaikovsky's father was 18 years older than his mother, and Marie Curie's parents differed in age by as much as 14 years.
The mystery behind this is still under exploration, but the age advantage of both certainly plays a significant role: the older the father, the more intellectually mature, passing on more "codes" to the next generation; the younger the mother, the more vigorous her vitality, undoubtedly providing a good nurturing environment for the fetus, benefiting the growth and development of the fetus.

Girls, come save your [pelvis]! Let your hipbones shrink and your buttocks get smaller! Boys actually need it too! Crossing your legs has already deformed your pelvis, so stop crossing your legs! Last night, I watched "I Am the Greatest Woman" in bed, coincidentally, there was an episode about correcting our pelvis. In real life, many of us have pelvic deformities. Young people nowadays love to cross their legs, myself included. Incorrect walking and sitting postures, etc., all lead to pelvic deformities. The most serious cases occur after childbirth, when the pelvis expands greatly during pregnancy, causing severe deformation. After giving birth, mothers' hips enlarge significantly, and they often experience bowel movement (bm) issues. Also, many women suffer from cold hands and feet and menstrual pain, all related to misaligned pelvises. Now you realize the importance of the pelvis to our bodies, right?
In the first half of the episode, Niur introduced some correction tools, such as corrective belts, shapewear, and special cushions. The second half was the focus, inviting a famous Japanese orthopedic specialist whose mother is a renowned orthopedic expert in Japan. He taught us a set of simple yet very effective exercises, with visible results soon. There were three female celebrities on site, two of whom had given birth. Before the experiment began, their temperatures and hip circumference were measured. Under his guidance, after five minutes, almost everyone's hip circumference reduced by 2 cm! And their body temperature also rose significantly. Later, I tried it again without measuring my hips, but I felt warm all over, down to my feet, super comfortable! I am a representative of cold hands and feet, needing to bathe before sleeping to stay warm enough to fall asleep.
Let's start the main topic:
These exercises are done every night before sleeping.
1. Lie flat on the floor (beds are too soft), legs spread shoulder-width apart, feet pointing outward. Stretch your arms straight and place them beside your body, relaxing...relaxing...
2. Swing your feet rhythmically, doing the "bye-bye" motion, not too fast. You will feel your pelvis relax, doing this for about a minute.
3. Use your arms to slightly prop up your body, hands shoulder-width apart, keeping your body straight. Only your heels and palms touch the ground. Repeat step 2, swinging your feet, saying "bye-bye". Do this for 10 seconds.
4. Lie flat, stretch your legs outward, slowly lifting them 30 cm off the ground, count to 10, forcefully lower them, repeat 3 times. Then repeat the above 3 steps, this is a warm-up, you will feel your body warming up.
5. Lie flat again, feet pointing inward, lift your legs, forming a 30° angle with the ground, then forcefully knock the second joint of your big toes (the joint connecting your big toe to your foot). Knock hard, it will hurt, knock 10 times, lower your legs. Then repeat once.
6. Finally, the key part! Still in the previous position, feet pointing inward, press your big toes together, spreading them as far as possible, forming a shape moving from "eight" towards "one". Your inner thighs must exert force! Keep this position, lift your legs 30° off the ground, count to ten, forcefully lower them, repeat once.
OK, that's it, very simple, right!
You can measure your hip circumference before and after, which is below your stomach where the two protruding bones on either side of your body are. You will be amazed!! Of course, this action temporarily closes your pelvis, don't think doing it once will make your pelvis smaller, continue doing it for a month to maintain the size. If you're someone who unconsciously crosses your legs, you must do it every day to fix your deformed pelvis.
Go and tell the women around you quickly~~ Wish ladies healthy every day! PS: Don't cross your legs anymore! You must overcome it!!
