Want to make a baby, but can’t?
You’re not alone.
When the cause of
infertility lies with the male
partner (about 30% of cases), it is
usually due to poor sperm health.
But there’s good news: sperm
health can be drastically improved
with simple diet and lifestyle
changes.
Sperm count and motility are
affected by heat, toxins,
hormones, stress, sleep and
weight; even cellphone use and
TV watching have been implicated
as factors in declining sperm
health.
Toxins are one of the toughest
categories of sperm-blockers to
avoid, because they're hidden
everywhere, from pesticides and
heavy metals in your food to
plastics and prescription drugs.
Eliminating them all may not be
Possible so just
control whatever you can. Eat
organic to avoid pesticides, and
increase your intake of fruits,
vegetables, nuts and seeds, which
contain antioxidants that help fight
free radical damage. Aim to
consume low-mercury seafood
like crab, oysters, and salmon.
Don’t forget that avoiding toxins
also means cutting out those that
we willingly choose to consume,
such as alcohol, tobacco, and
over-the-counter or recreational
drugs.
Testosterone, the hormone that
drives sperm production and
health, can be compromised by
too much estrogen in the system.
Hormones in meat and dairy
foods, drinking water, plastics and
even the phytoestrogenic effects
of soy foods may contribute to an
excess of estrogen in men. Eating
organic or hormone-free animal
products, filtering your tap water,
and using glass containers for
water and leftovers may help men
avoid the hormone imbalance that
can lead to sperm degeneration.
In addition to following the above
guidelines, men may be able to
improve sperm health in the
following ways:
Use relaxation techniques such
as deep breathing or
meditation to combat stress.
Sleep at least eight hours a
night in complete darkness.
Limit cell phone use and carry
your cell phone away from
your body.
Exercise.
Avoid excessive heat in the
pelvic region (hot tubs, tight
underwear or tight pants).
The importance of nutrition in
fertility preparation program is
also paramount. Foods containing
Vitamins A, C, and E, selenium and
zinc can be of great benefit to
naturally boost sperm quality.
Giving the body a 6-12 month
period to detoxify and restock
vital nutrients through a whole
food diet is crucial to sperm
health, and will help increase the
odds of conception.
Men don’t have to overhaul their
lives in order to improve their
fertility; small changes can make a
big difference over time. By taking
these baby steps towards better
sperm health, men may soon
witness baby steps of another
kind. Moderator, I humbly request that you move it to Front Page. Infertility as a result of Unhealthy Sperm is on the Increase,breaking and Tearing couples Apart.
