2. Stop smoking
3. Stop Recreational Drugs

5. Stay out of Hot Tubs
6. Quit drinking alcoholic beverages
Nutrition
The importance of a healthy diet cannot be overstated. To function properly, the reproductive system requires the proper vitamins and minerals. Nutritional deficiencies can impair hormone function, inhibit sperm production, and contribute to the production of abnormal sperm.
• Eat a natural foods diet that focuses on fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, poultry, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
• Drink ½ of body weight in ounces of water daily (e.g., a 150 lb man would drink 75 oz of water).
• Eliminate processed and refined foods (e.g., white flour), junk food, sugars, alcohol, and caffeine.
• Avoid saturated fats and hydrogenated oils (e.g., margarine); use olive oil.
• Pumpkin seeds are naturally high in zinc and essential fatty acids which are vital to healthy functioning of the male reproductive system. Eat ¼ to ½ cup a day of pumpkin seeds to help maintain a healthy reproductive system.
Supplements
The following supplements have been shown to increase sperm count and/or motility. Allow 3-4 months for the supplements to work.
• Arginine—Take 4 gr daily. Needed to produce sperm. If the sperm count is below 10 million per ml, arginine probably will not provide any benefit.
• Coenzyme Q10—Take 10 mg daily. Increases sperm count and motility.
• Flaxseed oil—Take 1 tbsp daily. Is a source of essential fatty acids.
• L-carnitine—Take 3-4 grams daily. Required for normal sperm function.
• Multivitamin-mineral—Buy a high-quality product and take one serving size (differs from brand to brand).
• Selenium—Take 200 mcg daily. Improves sperm motility.
• Vitamin B-12—Take 1000 mcg daily. A B-12 deficiency reduces sperm motility and sperm count. Even if no deficiency exists, B-12 supplementation may help men with a sperm count of less than 20 million per milliliter or a motility rate of less than 50%
• Vitamin C—Take 500 mg 2 times daily. Is an antioxidant.
• Vitamin E—Take 400 IUs 2 times daily. Is an antioxidant and improves sperms’ ability to impregnate.
• Zinc—Take 15 mg 2 times daily. Required for a healthy male reproductive system and sperm production.
