According to ShowBizSpy.com Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) is hoping to conceive her fourth child, and is eating red chili peppers to increase her chances of fertility.
She and her husband, David Beckham, have three sons and rumors say they would very much like to have a daughter. The article says: “Red chillies are recommended because they ’spice’ things up in the fertility department by increasing the flow of blood around the body, ensuring that the reproductive system gets a healthy supply,” according to website askbaby.com.
“Chillies also stimulate endorphin production which means that more fertility boosting, stress releasing, happy hormones circulate around your body.”
But Victoria’s nutritionist has banned red meat and told her to cut down on dairy products.”
Can eating red chili peppers really increase your chances of becoming pregnant? Perhaps, because a good, healthful diet improves your chances of conceiving, as does maintaining a healthy body weight and living a balanced life. But, none of these factors will “cure” infertility. Think of them as ways to tip the odds, but don’t expect any one lifestyle change to be a magical answer.
