Ten ways to improve sperm quality

Exercise more. Studies have shown that excessive obesity in men can cause the temperature in the groin to rise, impair the growth of sperm, and lead to infertility. Therefore, controlling body weight within a standard range can improve sperm quality. However, the intensity of exercise should be moderate. Strenuous exercise, such as marathons and long-distance cycling, will still increase the temperature of the testicles and destroy the cool environment needed for sperm growth. Cycling also puts the delicate testicular cystic blood vessels at risk, so it is recommended to wear padded shorts and choose a bike with good shock absorption.

Go less often to saunas and steam baths. High-temperature steam baths directly damage sperm and inhibit sperm production.

Quit smoking. Data show that 44% of people believe that smoking is the main factor in declining sperm count, so quitting smoking is imperative.

Drink alcohol in moderation. Heavy drinking can lead to a decrease in sperm quality. Men should strictly follow the recommended amount of 14-28 standard cups (containing 8-9 grams of alcohol) per day, and half the recommended amount for women.

Say no to narcotics. Anesthetics, drugs, etc. are also extremely harmful to sperm, and they will last for a long time.

Relax your mind. Excessive mental stress also has a negative impact on sperm growth. Therefore, men should do things that can relax them, such as walking, taking a bath, etc., and then enjoy sex.

Put your phone in your jacket pocket. Placing your mobile phone in your trouser pocket, placing your laptop on your knees, or wearing tight pants will increase the temperature of your scrotum and damage your sperm, so you should keep your mobile phone in your coat pocket.

Eat more green vegetables. Green vegetables contain vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium and other ingredients that are beneficial to sperm growth. Nuts and fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, so you should eat more to help the growth of sperm cells.

Go to the clinic frequently for physical examination. Bacterial infection is also an important factor in male infertility. You should often go to the doctor to receive related examinations for chlamydia and prostate.

Self-test. Often use tools to test your own semen
