HABITS THAT DAMAGE YOUR SPERM AND WHAT TO DO INSTEAD
Many men are slowly damaging their sperm without knowing.
Not with diseases.
Not with genetics.
But with daily habits.
If you want to have children in the future, you need to pay attention to these things 👇
Smoking regularly is one of the biggest sperm killers. Cigarettes reduce sperm count, slow their movement, and can damage their DNA. Even second-hand smoke (chilling near a smoker) can have an effect over time.
Drinking too much alcohol also harms sperm production. Heavy drinking lowers testosterone, reduces sperm quality, and can even cause temporary infertility.
I know what you thinking... "You know a man who is an alcoholic but has many children". You see, some alcoholics still have children because fertility damage varies by person, amount, and duration of drinking.
Sperm production can remain adequate for years, but heavy long-term alcohol use still lowers sperm quality and increases risks of infertility and unhealthy sperm. Because that is his case does not mean, it will be yours.
Using drugs like marijuana, cocaine, or anabolic steroids can seriously affect sperm formation. Some men who use steroids can even stop producing sperm completely.
Constant heat around your testicles is dangerous. Your sperm need a cooler temperature to survive. Frequent hot baths, saunas, keeping laptops on your lap, or wearing very tight underwear can reduce sperm count
Being overweight affects hormones. Excess body fat can lower testosterone and increase estrogen, which reduces sperm quality and number.
Lack of sleep is another silent problem. Poor sleep lowers testosterone levels and affects sperm production over time.
Chronic (Long-term) stress also plays a role. When stress hormones stay high for long periods, sperm production and sexual hormones drop.
Eating too much junk food harms sperm health. Diets high in processed foods, fried foods, and sugary drinks are linked to poorer sperm quality.
Sitting for very long hours daily, especially without movement, can reduce blood flow to the reproductive organs and raise scrotal temperature.
Exposure to certain chemicals can damage sperm. This includes pesticides, some plastics, industrial chemicals, and heavy metals.
Some medications can also affect sperm, especially certain hormones, chemotherapy drugs, and long-term steroid use.
Frequent untreated infections of the reproductive tract can permanently damage sperm production if ignored.
The good news is this:
You sperm can recover.
Healthy habits like exercising, eating fruits and vegetables, sleeping well, reducing alcohol, and avoiding heat can improve sperm quality within a few months.
Your fertility is strongly connected to your daily lifestyle
Which of these lifestyles do you believe to be the most common?
Which of them do you feel is the hardest anyone can change from?
