One of the most popular suggestions supported by anecdotal information is to make your body more alkaline.

This unproven remedy suggests that people with a more alkaline (high pH) environment are more likely to conceive a boy. This method recommends:

  • increasing the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables
  • increasing the intake of foods that contain potassium, such as bananas, salmon, avocados
  • increasing foods with high alkalinity, such as citrus fruits, root vegetables, nuts
  • avoiding dairy products

Chromosomes determine the biological sex of a person. Females have two X chromosomes and males have one X and one Y chromosome. During conception, sperm will contribute either an X or a Y chromosome.

Many of the studies on this topic were performed on other mammals such as cows or rats so far. Correspondingly there are few referable facts and even these facts don’t work in all cases.

Before we can certainly say and determine what kinds of food result in girls and what kinds in boys, more human research is needed.A study from 2008 analyzed the diet of 740 women and found that mothers who consumed higher calories tended to have boys.
