Alcohol and smoking

This is where most people cringe. If you dont think that you drink too much then you are just the same as most people. The problem is that any more than 2 standard drinks in a session is affecting your sperm’s quality of life. If it makes you tipsy imagine what it’s doing to them!

Cut back on the alcohol

Alcohol is potentially harmful to the health of sperm cells. It may have adverse effects on one’s overall health and the same may apply to the life-giving characteristics of spermatozoa. Alcohol may decrease sperm count, increase abnormal sperm development, and reduce the proportion of motile sperm. Alcohol may also hamper the absorption of nutrients such as zinc, which is one of the most important minerals for male fertility.

Here’s the thing. If you don’t drink all week but have 10 beers over a weekend – it has the same affect as drinking every day or night. There is only one simple rule to go by – no more than 2 standard drinks a session – is normal. Any more is considered binge drinking and will have some degree of affect on your overall health but especially on the health of your sperm.

Quit smoking

Smoking may increase the number of free radicals in the body which may damage many cells, including the sperm cells. It may reduce sperm count and motility, and increase the number of abnormal cells.
