The number one reason that men give for wanting to increase sperm count is conceiving and trying to have a baby. It must be understood, however, that increasing sperm count and increasing seminal fluid are two different things, although the two are related. The number of sperm in a set amount of fluid is one thing; the amount of that fluid is another, so be sure that you know which (if not both) you are interested in. It should also be noted that an increase in seminal fluid does not automatically mean an increase in the number of swimmers, either.

There are, first of all, basic guidelines that every man should follow, whether he is looking to increase any kind of count or fluid or not. The health of the body does absolutely affect the fertility health of a male, so the usual guidelines of eating healthy with little trans fat and cholesterol, avoiding junk foods that can sabotage your bodily systems, and drinking plenty of fluids are the standards. However, there are some other rules to live by that you may not be so aware of.

You should avoid hot baths or hot showers avoid hot temperatures as much as possible. The male fertility system is pretty touchy, and it all has to maintain a certain temperature for optimum function. Wearing tight clothing, specifically speaking tight underwear or shorts/pants, can inhibit the groin area by restricting blood flow and increasing the temperature of the area. Blood flow and circulation are very important because without proper blood flow, the area does not function correctly. Blood is what supplies vital nutrients to any and all areas of the body, including those that are needed to increase sperm count. Do not excessively drink alcohol and drink plenty of non carbonated, caffeine free fluids. If the body is dehydrated, it is impossible for it to produce any fluid (or anything else) well.

The scrotum s purpose is to protect the testicles from extreme temperatures, and sitting too long or exercising too much in improper clothing can damage sperm mobility. As temperatures rise, the little swimmers are not able to move as well, and it won t matter what your count is, if the guys cannot move, they are useless. Did you know that having a laptop computer sitting on your lap can damage your semen and sperm? Once again, high temperature is the culprit. Multivitamins and herbal supplements have so far proven to be one of the best things that men can do to help their sperm count; everything from saw palmetto to zinc oxide to horny goat weed have been named as helpers in this area, and these can be found at your local herbal natural store. It may take some time and trials, but chances are good that you will find what your body reacts to the best to increase sperm count.
