Frost's Descent, as the last solar term of autumn, marks a transition from cool to cold weather. At this time, discussions about how to maintain fertility in autumn and winter become more frequent. This article combines traditional health practices with modern reproductive health guidelines to provide an objective analysis of key points for maintaining fertility after Frost's Descent. We avoid glorifying solar terms or neglecting lifestyle factors.

1. Solar Terms Are Not "Conception Switches"

It's important to understand that there is no reliable evidence indicating that a specific solar term or season significantly affects the success rate of conception. The results of assisted reproduction and natural conception largely depend on factors such as age, ovarian reserve, sperm quality, and uterine environment. The value of solar term-based health practices lies in improving these conditions through lifestyle adjustments.

2. After Frost's Descent, Both Men and Women Should Pay Attention to These Three Things

1. Keep Warm, Especially at the "Ends" of the Body

As temperatures drop, peripheral circulation slows down. Women should keep their abdomen and feet warm, which helps promote blood circulation in the pelvis. Men should avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures (such as sitting for long periods, wearing tight clothing, or being in hot environments), to protect the environment for sperm production.

2. Follow the Rhythm of Daylight

The modern interpretation of "going to bed early and rising late" involves ensuring adequate sleep and reducing staying up late. Lack of sleep can disrupt endocrine functions, affecting ovulation and sperm quality.

3. Eat Warmly but Not Excessively

In autumn and winter, it's appropriate to consume warm foods. However, people trying to conceive (especially those with PCOS or high blood sugar) should control their sugar intake and avoid excessive consumption of greasy foods.

3. The Core of Expert Consensus: Lifestyle Is a "Plus Factor"

International and domestic reproductive medicine guidelines emphasize that quitting smoking and drinking, regular exercise, balanced nutrition, weight management, and stress management are fundamental measures to improve fertility. These recommendations apply regardless of the season. However, in autumn and winter, due to reduced outdoor activities and oily diets, these practices are more easily overlooked. Therefore, they deserve special attention during solar term periods.

4. Be Cautious of "Pseudo-Health Practices"

• Claims that certain solar terms correlate with increased chances of conception: Unsubstantiated claims.
• High-cost "warming uterus" products claim to cure infertility: Illegal and ineffective.
• Using health practices instead of proper examinations: Putting the cart before the horse.

5. Lelawa's Perspective

Solar term-based health practices are a great way to spread knowledge, but they shouldn't be marketed as "secret formulas" for getting pregnant. We advocate for a scientific approach to traditional wisdom, taking advantage of its benefits in terms of daily routines, diet, and emotional regulation, while avoiding its mystical and exaggerated aspects.
