Men’s Health Month: Lifestyle habits that support male fertility

Sponsored by Fertility Answers

Men’s health and fertility go hand in hand. A balanced diet, regular exercise and quality sleep can support sperm health, while certain everyday habits may negatively affect fertility.

Fertility Answers recommends several lifestyle changes that may help men protect their reproductive health, including avoiding smoking, vaping and marijuana, limiting alcohol consumption, and avoiding anabolic steroids and testosterone replacement therapy, which can reduce sperm production.

Maintaining a healthy weight and eating more fruits and vegetables can also support overall health and fertility.

The good news? Healthy lifestyle changes may help improve sperm health over time. For men hoping to start a family, small adjustments to daily routines can be a meaningful first step.
