　　Women trying to conceive can increase their chances of giving birth to a girl by eating more fruit and vegetables, according to scientists. They found that consuming food with high levels of calcium and magnesium, such as green vegetables, in the weeks before conception is likely to result in a daughter. Of a group of women who followed a diet drawn up by the researchers, 80 per cent went on to have daughters.

    有科学证实，女性在受孕前几周的饮食决定了是生男孩还是女孩，如果准妈妈们多吃蔬果，也就是含钙和镁高的食物，生女孩的机率会大增呢！虽然这个消息帮不了小S，但是可以帮助一直想要女儿的维多利亚呢！研究调查证实，在接受绿色蔬果治疗的准妈妈中，有80%的妈妈已经怀上“千金”了呢！

    By contrast, foods rich in potassium and sodium – such as bananas and potatoes – would be likely to help women who want to have sons, although this has yet to be tested. The Dutch scientists are convinced that following the right diet can help couples increase their chances of choosing the sex of their child, although they don’t know the exact role played by other factors such as the timing of conception.

    求子迫切的妈妈不禁问那么生男孩应该吃什么呢？研究人员告诉你，就是多吃富含钾和钠的食物，比如说：香蕉和土豆等，这样饮食搭配可以让准妈妈们怀上儿子的机率大增。来自荷兰的科学家认为“科学的饮食”能够大大提高选择婴儿性别的机率。

    They spent five years working with 172 couples, all of whom wanted to add girls to their families – between them they already had 358 sons and just two daughters. Each began a diet rich in fruit, vegetables and rice in the nine weeks before they planned to attempt to conceive to increase the levels of calcium and magnesium in their bloodstream. In addition, they were given daily tablets of the key minerals, had regular blood monitoring and had to learn asaccurately as possible their moment of peak fertility each month. At the end of the trial, reported in the journal Reproductive BioMedicine Online, out of 32 couples who completed the programme, 26 mothers gave birth to girls and only six had boys.

    研究人员针对172对夫妇展开为期5年的调查，这些夫妇都是计划“添女”的，他们在受孕前9周都吃大量的蔬菜和水果、米饭。据悉，这项实验耗时很长，所以最后只有32对夫妇从头至尾地完成了实验的要求，结果很明显，有26个妈妈生下了女婴，只有6个妈妈产下男婴。看来吃绿色蔬果的效果十分明显哦！
