The journey to motherhood is one of the most beautiful and transformative phases in a woman's life. However, with the increasing pressures of modern living, we often see how stress, poor dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, and lack of sleep can negatively affect reproductive health. As a fertility specialist, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of embracing a healthy lifestyle early on -- not only to enhance fertility but also to ensure a healthier pregnancy and long-term well-being for both mother and child. Simple changes such as incorporating nutrient-rich foods, staying physically active, avoiding smoking and alcohol, managing stress through yoga or mindfulness, and getting adequate rest can have a profound impact on reproductive outcomes. Fertility is not just a medical condition -- it's a reflection of overall health. This Mother's Day, let's celebrate not just motherhood, but also the conscious steps women take toward nurturing their bodies and minds. Every small effort in adopting a healthier lifestyle today paves the way for a stronger, happier tomorrow for both mother and baby."
