Recent research suggests contributing factors which may include poor nutrition, fast foods being a major culprit; according to a study funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, adults who eat frequently at fast-food restaurants gain more weight and have a greater increase in insulin resistance starting earlier in adult hood, and every year, those who eat fast food more than twice a week gain, on average an extra ten pounds and have a greater risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
Yoga used to be thought of as fancy gym move just for women however not so any longer. The Nurses Health Study showed a correlation between both men and women with good exercise habits, and "down time" - yoga, with higher fertility rates than those of stressed out couples. According to Yu and Wei, "Yoga is a good balance of physical movement, breathing, and relaxation; it settles the body down and helps activate ovulation, enhance implantation and encourage discharge and detoxifications during the menstrual phase".
