Soy may be bad for male fertility

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Who would have thought that the amazing soy product could be anything but good for your health. Overdoing it however, seems to be a big problem when it comes to male fertility. A recent study published in the Human Reproduction Journal (2008) indicated that men consuming soy may have a lower sperm count! The study concluded that the men with highest intake of soy had the lowest sperm count. Apparently soy contains phytoestrogen which is a plant soy that can have adverse affects on the sperm count. The worrisome part is that many foods contain it including pizzas. How to ensure that you don’t overdo it? Eat a healthy balanced meal three or more times a day – and go with fresh produce rather than pre-cooked or packaged foods.

Effects of alcohol on male fertility

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Although you will often hear people say to just keep your alcohol intake low if you want successful conception, you in fact need to stop all intake of alcohol. The effects of alcohol on conception and pregnancy vary according to regularity of intake, weight of the person, fitness level, overall health, and the amount consumed. The safest route thus will be to eliminate alcohol altogether. The effects of alcohol on male fertility include the possibility of high blood pressure, lower sperm quantity and quality, liver problems, higher levels of oestrogen which will lead to lower sperm production, overall fatigue, lower libido and the harming of sperm generating cells.

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Male infertility causes include inadequate sperm mobility, blockages in the ejaculatory ducts, enlarged veins, low sperm count, and anti-bodies present in the male body which kill the sperm. The above are all treatable male infertility causes. By taking natural supplements as available from PregAssist many of the problems can be reduced or even totally eliminated. Some male infertility causes can only be rectified through surgical procedures, but the good news is that in most cases lifestyle changes which include converting to an alcohol and tobacco free lifestyle, reduction of stress, improvement of the metabolism, and overall health improvement through proper nutrition and supplements can effectively address male infertility causes.

Does caffeine play a role in male fertility levels?

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

There are many myths that surround male fertility levels, including that of caffeine usage. Although true that over consumption of caffeine found in chocolates, coffee and certain sodas can reduce male fertility levels, moderate intake of caffeine will not have an influence. If you are concerned about toxin build-up in the body, then yes reduce the intake of caffeine as it causes spikes of energy and then slumps if taken in large quantities. Another one of the myths about male fertility levels is that boxer shorts will improve fertility. Although it is certainly true that too tight underwear will cut off healthy blood flow, boxer shorts are not the answer. Proper nutrition, moderate exercise, and a healthy lifestyle will improve metabolism and help increase male fertility levels. Many of the essential vitamins, minerals and herbs which are often deficient in the body can be obtained through PregAssist for Men supplement.

Male fertility declines at an earlier age than anticipated

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Many men are unaware when male fertility actually declines. What age does a man have to reach before it’s almost too late to produce sperm adequately? Researchers now say that male fertility declines in the mid-thirties. Men waiting until they are over the age of 40 have a greater risk of causing a miscarriage for their partner because of low sperm quality. One reason for male fertility being such a concern is because many males wish to wait as long as possible to become a father and start a family. The age for starting a family seems to significantly rise each year. Men that are looking to start a family should not wait until they have reached 40, rather they should start while they still have good sperm quality increasing the chances of successful conception without medical interference.
