Why Focus on Sperm Health?
The quality of genetic material within sperm significantly affects the health and well-being of future children. Preconception care for men should begin at least 3-4 months before trying to conceive since sperm formation and regeneration can take up to 100 days.
Tips for Supporting Sperm Health
Quit Smoking/Vaping:
Smoking and vaping cause oxidative stress, damaging sperm DNA. Quitting smoking is essential for supporting sperm health and reducing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
Limit Alcohol Intake:
Excessive alcohol consumption is linked to reduced sperm count and an increased percentage of abnormal sperm. Moderating or abstaining from alcohol is advised when trying to conceive.
Regular Physical Activity:
Exercise improves semen quality and boosts testosterone levels, contributing to overall sperm health.
Screen for STIs:
Sexually transmitted infections can impact fertility and sperm health. Early detection and treatment are crucial for minimizing reproductive complications.
Avoid Exposure to Chemicals:
Toxins in the environment, such as pesticides and heavy metals, can harm sperm DNA integrity. Minimizing exposure to these chemicals helps protect sperm health.
Avoid Excessive Scrotal Heat:
High scrotal temperatures can impair sperm production and DNA integrity. Avoid activities that generate excessive heat in the scrotal area.
Prioritize Sleep:
Quality sleep is essential for fertility and overall health. Aim for 7-8 hours of restful sleep per night to support sperm health.
Nutrients and Supplements
Zinc, Folate, Vitamin C, D, E, Selenium, L-Carnitine, Omega 3 Fatty Acids, and CoQ10 are vital for sperm development and DNA synthesis. Discuss supplementation with our naturopaths for personalized guidance.
