background and purpose ; In the past, not only in Iran, but in the whole world, there was a tendency to have more male children. As a result, the number of children in families that did not have male children was very high. Also, in most cases, it caused the collapse of the family, and the woman was condemned to "being a girl", while it is the chromosomes of the man that determine the gender. method ; Relevant information was searched from Pub med, Google scholar databases. And data analysis was done qualitatively. Findings ; Various factors help to increase the chances of having a girl or a boy. One of these methods is mother's nutrition. Of course, diet alone cannot be successful in gender determination. In fact, diet alone is ۳۰-۴۰% successful. Conclusion ; At least two months before, the mother should start her special diet. In fact, following the diet should be done before conception. Avoiding eating certain foods can cause a decrease in minerals and vitamins in the body, and if these diets continue for a long time, it may cause malnutrition. For this reason, you are allowed to continue this diet for ۶ months. If you don't get pregnant, you should stop your diet to avoid malnutrition. In this article, we are going to discuss the effect of nutrition on determining the sex of the fetus.
