30 ways to protect your sperm

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.
