Recipe for a Boy
So many people have an idea of whether they would prefer to have a boy or girl when talking about having a baby. Searchers have found that you can increase your chances for having a boy by simply changing your breakfast habits.
Women who eat a breakfast made of high-energy foods dramatically increase their odds of getting pregnant with a boy. Fiona Mathews, of the University of Exeter, said eating high-calorie breakfasts seemed to be the best guarantee of influencing the gender of a baby in favor of boys before conception.
The discovery of a link between calories and gender may explain why it is that in the past 40 years there has been a small but steady decline in the proportion of boys born in the developed world.
Up to 59% of women who get pregnant after eating high-energy breakfasts end up giving birth to a son. Researchers have found only 43% of women who always skipped breakfast before conceiving managed to produce boys.
So if you are interested in trying to conceive a boy, let me suggest you stick to your "Wheaties".
