Your grandma probably has hundreds of old wives’ tales on how you can make sure you give birth to a girl.
But science might have a better tip: eat ice cream.
A study, which looked at the births of 32 couples, found that eating ice cream or foods “low in potassium and sodium but high in calcium and magnesium,” like ice cream led women to have more girls.
The study found foods like yogurt, hard cheeses or spinach (high in calcium) are beneficial for parents if they want to have a baby girl, as are cashew nuts, beans and whole wheat cereals (lots of magnesium).
