FERTILITY HEALTH TIPS
Fertility is another issue that we would like to address. While most men don't think about the actual fitness of their sperm, it certainly must be considered by any man who plans to have children. You should consider your fertility and be very protective of this important topic.
Here are some ideas that you can assess that can safeguard and enhance your reproductive health, as well as protect the well-being of your future children:
* Quit smoking. Cigarette smoking is linked to low sperm counts, and research shows a 64% increase in miscarriages when both partners smoke or just when the man smokes.
* No marijuana. Long-term use of this drug also results in a low sperm count among men, as well as sperm that exhibits abnormal patterns of development.
* Reduce alcohol consumption. Chronic alcohol abuse damages your reproductive system, which reduces your ability to produce normally-formed sperm cells.
* Increase your daily dose of Vitamin C. Low levels of Vitamin C may cause your sperm to clump together, rendering almost 16% of all men infertile.
* Watch your nutrition. If you're malnourished or not getting enough of the proper foods and nutrients, your sperm count could suffer.
* No intense exercising. Men who exercise excessively can reduce their sperm count due to the heat that builds up around the testicles during an overly-strenuous workout.
* Keep your scrotum cool. Excessive heat in the scrotal area can result in lower sperm count volume. Wear loose-fitting underwear, and avoid tight jockey shorts and jogging pants. Also avoid hot tubs, hot baths, saunas, or hot work environments.
* Stay clear of environmental poisons and hazards, including pesticides, insecticides, lead, ionizing radiation, heavy metals and toxic chemicals.
* Finally, abstain from sex. Brief periods of sexual restraint (three to six days) will increase both the volume and potency of semen. Don't abstain for long periods, though! Prolonged abstinence results in higher volume of older sperm, which exhibit decreased motility.
Be aware of your health. Look out for yourself and your future offspring!
