Victoria Beckham turns to red chili to boost fertility
David Beckham, 32, told a US TV show earlier this week that his superstar wife wanted to extend her brood now the Spice Girls tour has finished.
He told Ellen DeGeneres: “We’re working on it. We’re very family orientated, so we’ve always wanted a big family, which was weird because when we first got together we never even discussed how many children we wanted.
“But it’s worked out that we want a big family and we love kids so it’s worked out perfect.”
And David’s dad also confessed that his famous son “really wants a girl.”
Red chillies are recommended because they “’spice’ things up in the fertility department by increasing the flow of blood around the body, ensuring that the reproductive system gets a healthy supply,” according to website askbaby.com.
“Chillies also stimulate endorphin production which means that more fertility boosting, stress releasing, happy hormones circulate around your body.”

Infertility – Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, Diagnosis
The Facts
Infertility is usually defined as the inability to become pregnant after one year of sex without birth control. It affects about 10% of couples of reproductive age. In about one-third of cases, it’s attributed to the man, and a similar proportion is due to problems in the woman. In the other third of cases, either both partners have problems, or the cause of the infertility is never found. There is often overlap of the causes with combined factors in up to 20% of couples.
People shouldn’t assume that they or their partners are infertile until they’ve tried and failed to conceive for at least six months if the female partner is 35 years or older or for at least one year if the female partner is less than 35 years. If you still are not able to get pregnant after this time, check with your doctor. Fortunately, it’s not uncommon for couples to suddenly conceive a child without treatment after years of trying unsuccessfully.
CausesThere are hundreds of medical problems that can cause infertility in both men and women.
Causes of infertility in men include:
* hormone disturbance
* smoking
* overheating of the testicles caused by exercise, hot water, tight clothing, excessive sitting (truck drivers) and other conditions and situations
