Male fertility has dropped by a whopping 60% in the last 40 years so it’s more important than ever to do whatever you can to improve your fertility level. This is generally important but also especially important to those men thinking of trying to start a family.
1. KEEP YOUR NETHER REGIONS COOL
A man’s testicles are outside the body to keep them cooler for optimal sperm production. Sperm and its production are damaged by excessive heat. Avoid things such as hot tubs, saunas and taking hot baths. Showers are recommended. Wear loose fitting underwear made of breathable fabric. We also recommend not sitting with a laptop on your lap as that also generates excessive heat.
2. REDUCE USE OF PLASTICS
The use of plastics is already a major issue for the world’s climate and it can also be a major factor in male fertility. Too much use of plastics can increase oestrogens in the body and the use of chemicals such as BPA or phthalates are proven to be hormone disruptors that can negatively impact sperm quality.
3. FOLLOW A GOOD DIET
A good, clean and healthy diet will do wonders to your sperm production as well as your health in general. Certain foods such as red and white meat can damage male fertility and it is recommend that no more than one serving of red meat and two servings of white meat should be consumed a week. If possible, they should also be organic and fresh.
4. REMOVE BAD HABITS
These include things such as smoking and drinking alcohol. Drinking occasionally can be acceptable if you must, but smoking should be avoided at all costs as it greatly damages sperm production among many other health issues.
5. GOOD SUPPLEMENTATION
There are certain supplements that are known to aid male fertility due to their potent ingredients. The best ones are those that promote health testosterone levels as that is the most important hormone in sperm production. We would recommend something like Agent R as it contains freeze-dried oyster powder, which is an extremely potent natural testosterone booster.
