1. Do not have
unprotected sex. Sexually-transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhoea and
Chlamydia, can damage the sperm-producing cells that block the tubes carrying
sperm from the testis to the penis.
2. Avoid pesticides
that control pests in the garden and on the farm. Such chemicals can
damage the sperm-reproducing organs.
3. Avoid
insecticides sprayed to kill mosquito. Such chemicals can damage the sperm-
reproducing organs. Therefore, if you must spray your room against mosquitoes,
allow at least one hour before going back to the room.
4. Avoid exposure
to lead fumes generated in the manufacture of small cell batteries and in
bullets. Such fumes can reduce sperm count through their negative effects on
the hormones and the testis.
5. Avoid exposure
to heavy metals like cadmium from the manufacture of heavy batteries, as they
negatively affect the hormones.
6. Avoid exposure
to paint fumes and plastic softening chemicals like phthalates, hydrocarbons
such as ethylbenze, benzene, toluene, and xylene, as they destroy the
sperm-producing cells and hormones.
7. Minimise
exposure to e-rays, as the sperm germ cells are very easily damaged by the
gamma rays.
8. Minimise
exposure to radiation, as the sperm germ cells are very easily damaged by
radiation.
9. Avoid fumes
generated by welders and iron smelters, as their heat can affect sperm
production and lead to low sperm count.
10. Avoid exposure
to accumulated old newsprints, as the carbon can lead to low sperm count.
11. Avoid wearing
tight pants and trousers, as the heat generated can cause low sperm
count.
12. Avoid children
with mumps as having mumps in childhood can cause irreversible damage to the
testis. Therefore, never allow a male to visit other children that have
mumps.
13. Minimise your
consumption of alcohol as drinking to excess can cause low sperm count and also
reduce libido, causing you to have a low sex drive.
14. Do not smoke,
as cigarette smoking can damage the testis and lower sperm count, lower the
ability of sperm to move and lower the lifespan of the sperm.
15. Do not eat too
much saturated fat, as they reduce the efficiency of the hormones and enzymes
that help in the sperm production process.
16. Do not eat food
or supplements with soya beans, as soya beans convert to the female hormone
oestrogen, which tends to neutralise the male hormone testosterone, which is
needed for men to reproduce sperm.
17. Minimise your
intake of refined carbohydrate like white flour, white bread and
white rice, as they reduce the efficiency of the hormones and enzymes that help
in the sperm reproduction process. Instead, eat more of the unrefined
carbohydrate like brown rice, wheat bread and oats.
18. Do not become
constipated, as this can obstruct blood flow to the testis. Therefore, eat more
dietary fibres.
19. Do not eat a
poor diet, as this affect the quality of the sperm. Instead, eat
more whole grains, vegetables and fruits.
20. Do not take
artificial sweeteners like nutrasweet, candarell and sweetex, as they reduce
sperm count.
21. Avoid excessive
consumption of raw lemon, as this may inhibit the enzymes responsible for sperm
production and libido.
22. Do seek
immediate medical help if one or both of the testes are un-descended from the
abdominal cavity into the scrotal sac, as this can significantly reduce sperm
production.
23. Do not sit for
long periods of time in one position if you are a long distance driver, drive a
small sport car, or a chief executive having many board meetings in leather
chairs, as this can increase the temperature around the scrotum which can
reduce sperm count.
24. Avoid traumatic
injury around the testes, as this can damage the sperm-producing cells.
25. Avoid
bicycling, as this can damage the tube carrying the sperm.
26. Avoid stress,
as this can decrease the sperm count and lead to production of abnormal
sperms.
27. Avoid obesity,s
as this can reduce blood flow to the testes, making the sperm production
process more difficult and significantly reduce libido.
28. Avoid substance
abuse like cocaine or heavy marijuana use, as this can lead to low sperm count
and deformed sperms.
29. Avoid poor
nutrition, as this affects the quality of the sperm. 30. Do not have children
at a late age, as the quality of the sperm decreases with age, leading to more
difficult conception and greater possibility of having children with
deformities.
