- Take Proxeed -
To help improve your sperm count take Proxeed, it's a nutritional supplement especially formulated to optimise your sperm count and motility. A clinically proven means of fertility treatment, it can improve your sperm count by up to 80%.
- Use a Lapdesk when using Laptops -
Laptops create a lot of heat and raise the scrotal temperature significantly. When using laptops on your knees use a LapDesk to transfer the heat away from your testicles.
- Eat healthy fats -
Everyone knows that an excess of fatty foods is damaging to your health, and this also applies to your sperm count. However, essential fatty acids (ETA's) can help to boost healthy sperm production.
- Go organic -
Many of the vegetables sold in supermarkets have often been sprayed with a number of agrochemicals in their production and therefore contain harmful residues. Xenoestrogens, (which are often present in substances such as these) are known for damaging sperm counts and activity. By going organic, you are not only helping the environment but also living a healthier lifestyle, and specifically one that will benefit your fertility and improve your chances of having children. Tomatoes are particularly good for this, as they contain lycopene, which assists in active sperm production.
- Eat Brazil nuts -
To keep yours healthy, it's worth popping down to your local supermarket and picking up some Brazil nuts. Research shows that they are rich in selenium, the mineral that has the effect of increasing sperm count and improving sperm mobility.
- Take supplements -
High doses of a good zinc supplement will not only increase testosterone levels but also improve the number of sperm you have. 100 mg a day and you'll be unstoppable! Vitamin C will also assist in the process of making correctly functioning sperm, preventing them from agglutinating (sticking together) and ultimately making them healthier and more active.
- Take Korean ginseng -
Korean ginseng also boosts sperm production and raises testosterone levels. However, with this supplement, you'll need to take roughly 500mg a day to feel the full benefits.
- Avoid 'hot pants' -
Wearing tight underwear and trousers can certainly have an adverse effect on your sperm count. Because the testes produce sperm at up to 8 degrees below your normal body temperature; the hotter you are, the less likely it is that your testes are functioning properly. Wearing boxer shorts can minimise this risk, allowing them more room to breathe and function normally.
- Avoid smoking -
It's a well-publicised fact that smoking has all kinds of negative effects on your health. For men, the worst of these is that it can cause infertility. Warnings on cigarette packets really are there for a good reason; if you're trying for a child, it's worth stubbing out the habit.
- Don't over exercise -
It may seem like all forms of exercise have a positive effect on your fertility. It is proven that this is not always the case. Research shows that prolonged strenuous exercise (such as cycling) has a tendency to reduce male fertility. Pumping weights will have a damaging effect on your sperm production; so don't go overboard at the gym.
