How to produce healthy sperm

Most of us don’t even bother about the health of our sperm, with the thinking that our bodies take care of whatever sperm we have. But on the contrary, we are in control of our bodies whether we like it or not. First we discuss the attributes of a healthy sperm.

Healthy sperm criteria

1. Quantity – men are most likely fertile when their single ejaculation consist of more than 15 million sperm/ml. 
2. Quality – upon laboratory checking, sperms should have oval heads and long tails. So the more normal looking one’s sperm is, the higher quality it is.
3. Movement/motility– to reach a egg, sperm must swim and wiggle through the cervix, fallopian tubes and uterus of a woman. If you have more than 40% moving sperm count, then you are most likely fertile.

Here are some of the tips to produce healthy sperm

1. Weight management – looking good on the outside also means looking good for your sperms. When you lose weight, it reinvigorates your reproductive system since excess fat can lower your testosterone levels. 
2. Avoid soy – since soy is known to produce estrogen, sperm production may be compromised. 
3. Stay active – staying physically active will increase your sperm count. 
4. Visit your doctor – for proper nutrition and guide to a healthier sperm.
5. Avoid smoking cigarettes – may lower sperm count and motility.
6. Cut down caffeine – high soda/caffeine intake may slow down sperm production.

Having healthy sperms will definitely increase the chances of you and your partner having a baby. Starting a family can be an easy thing if you have healthy bodies. It is always best to consult your doctor for further check-ups and assessment of your health. It is better to be early for check-up than to rush and pressure ourselves to have a baby.
