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
