5 Tricks To Keep Super Sperm

5 Tricks To Keep Super Sperm | If you are planning a pregnancy with your partner, you may often wondered about the health of your sperm. Start by understanding the various factors that can affect fertility, to consider the steps you can take to help your sperm into 'super'.

Dr. Poncho Birowo Sp.U PhD, a specialist in urology from Asri Hospital Jakarta said there are three points to measure the health of a man's sperm. Sperm health is dependent on several factors such as quantity, quality and motility (movement) of sperm.

As quoted at Mayoclinic , based on quality, he said if the once fertile ejaculate semen (sperm) comes out to contain more than 39 million sperm. As for the quality of the sperm is said to be fertile if more than 4 percent of the male sperm have normal shape and structure.

A normal sperm has an oval head and long tail, where mutual cooperation can move that leads to the egg. While for the large size of sperm, small, tapered head, crooked or curly and coiled tail, tend to be difficult to fertilize an egg.

To reach the egg, sperm must be able to move itself to squirm and swim to reach and penetrate the egg. Someone is fertile if more than 40 percent of sperm moving.

Poncho said, if one man worried about their sperm are not healthy, There are some simple steps can be done to increase sperm production in order to stay healthy such as:

1. Take a multivitamin: Taking a multivitamin every day such as vitamin E and C can help provide essential nutrients to optimize production and sperm function.

"Vitamin E and C can improve blood circulation in the area and stimulate the growth of testicular and sperm cell division," said Ponco.

2. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables: Eating lots of vegetables and fruits rich in antioxidants can help improve sperm health. Tomatoes, berry products, strawberries, and grapes are antioxidant-rich foods.

"Varicocele occurs because there are free radicals. With us eat fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, free radicals can be treated," he explained.

Poncho said that the widening of the veins in the pockets of the testes (varicocele) became one of the main causes of fertility problems in men. Prevalence rate is quite high, since approximately 45 of the healthy men in the world experience this.

3. Manage stress: Stress can interfere with certain hormones needed to produce sperm. Stress can also decrease sexual function.

4. Perform physical activity: physical activity (exercise) on a regular basis not only good for reproductive health, but also promote overall health. But remember, do not do excessive exercise. Because, if you exercise too hard, you may experience a temporary change in hormone levels and decreased sperm quality.

5. Keep Cholesterol: Too much body fat may disrupt production of reproductive hormones, which can reduce your sperm count and increase the percentage of abnormal sperm.

"Weight loss does not directly affect fertility, but his cholesterol. If too high body fat is also less good blood circulation. Total cholesterol should be below 200," he explained.

According to the poncho, one is likely to produce high-quality sperm if you can maintain your healthy weight and ideal.
