5 quick lifestyle tips to improve your sperm count
- Look after your health-eat a healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and don't smoke.
- Get to and maintain a healthy weight-if you are overweight or underweight it can reduce both the sperm count and the health of the sperm.
- Have sex regularly to maintain a fresh supply of sperm-there is no need to save it up
- Keep your laptop off your lap-laptops produce a lot of heat which can cause overheating to the scrotum which is very bad news for sperm. Laptop trays are available which aim to reduce this effect, but our advice is to put the laptop on a desk or table.
- Get enough sleep-burning the candle at both ends is not good for sperm production.
