Coffee During IVF: Excessive Consumption Could Reduce Fertility
It will likely come as no surprise that over-consumption of coffee can lead to insomnia, upset stomach, irritability and even muscle tremors. However, the risks may be even worse for specific groups of people. For example, researchers from Denmark recently conducted a study finding that drinking excess coffee during IVF may reduce fertility in women who seek to become pregnant through in vitro fertilization (IVF). The study found that women who drink six or more cups of coffee daily reduce their chances of becoming pregnant through IVF by up to 50%. If you’re a typical coffee drinker, or even a serious coffee lover, there’s probably no need to worry as the study found no fertility loss in women who drank between 1 and 5 cups of coffee per day. For women who drink more than five cups daily, however, the reduction in fertility is equivalent to smoking cigarettes.
Exercising and Breast Cancer: Regular Activity Lowers Risk
Research has previously suggested that regular exercise could lower hormone levels, improve immune response and maintain healthy body weight – all important factors in cancer prevention. Now, a new study states that women looking to minimize their chance of developing breast cancer in particular would be wise to engage in regular exercise and maintain a healthy body weight. The exercising and breast cancer study found that women who exercise approximately 10 to 19 hours per week are 30% less likely to develop breast cancer than women who never exercise at all. In addition, the study results indicate that women who never exercised in their younger years can still realize major anti-cancer benefits by improving health during their reproductive and post-menopausal years.

Berries Prevent Cognitive Decline in Women
Earlier this month, we reported on a recently published United Kingdom study indicating that regularly consuming berries may reduce the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. A more recently published study by clinical researchers at the Harvard Medical School supports these findings, concluding that women who eat blueberries and strawberries may slow their rate of mental decline in later life.
The mental health and cognitive benefits of berries may be due to their flavonoid content, according to the medical researchers. Flavonoids can be defined as phytonutrients in plant-based foods that typically contribute to the color of the actual food. Most flavonoids act as antioxidants. More specifically, they assist in neutralizing overly reactive oxygen containing molecules and prevent them from damaging parts of other healthy cells.

CDC Study: Women Exercise Less than Men
Women have some catching up to do when it comes to matching the exercise habits of men, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The purpose of the study was to determine how many minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise average men and women participate in each day. The researchers determined that men average about 30 minutes per day, while women fall quite short at just 18 minutes daily.
The researchers said that study participants who received less than 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise each day were more likely to develop metabolic syndrome, defined as symptoms related to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, low HDL cholesterol levels, cardiovascular disease and obesity.

Egg Donation Now Won’t Hurt Pregnancy Chances Later
Women who have, or are, considering the donation of one of their reproductive eggs will now be glad to know that doing so will not decrease their probability of having their own pregnancy down the road, according to a newly published study by Belgian researchers into the risks of female egg donation.
When a woman donates one of her reproductive eggs, she’s typically treated with hormones that are intended to increase the rate in which her ovaries produce eggs.
In the past, there were a multiple previous clinical studies that suggested that the hormone treatments could result in fertility problems in the future. However, the researchers behind the new study said that these previous studies contained design flaws that detracted from their accuracy.
