2 Alcohol
Alcohol prevents the ability of our body to
absorb zink. This element is a nutrient needed
for healthy sperm. So you should stay away
from heavy drinking.
3 Too much stress
Stress can also cause infertility. As well as
alcohol, drugs, smoking, obesity and bad diet.
4 Bad diet
You should eat more healthy food. Healthy
products will help you to maintain healthy sperm
as well. And of course a good healthy diet is a
guarantee of your general health. Drink more
water (minimum – 5 glasses a day), eat more
fruits and vegetables.

5 Too much exercising
Exercising is good and healthy for your body.
But if you are using some doping for example
steroids, it can affect the producing of
testosterone and lower the quality of your sperm
and its count.
6 Having sex too often
Your sperm should have some rest.  Frequent
sex can reduce the quality of its cells. For
couples who want to have a baby it is advised to
have intercourse once in two or three days.
7 Heat
Anything that can increase the temperature
around your testicles causes low sperm count.
So you should better avoid too tight pants or the
pants made of synthetic materials. Also sitting
with a laptop on your knees is a bad thing for
fertility too.
8 STI
When these diseases are not treated in time
they can result in infertility.

you with infertility. Also even some prescribed
drugs can affect the quality of your sperm. So
you should better consult with a doctor before
taking any drugs anyway.
