enhance sperm motility. Sperm needs to be able to travel past the cervix and into the uterus in order to fertilize the egg, so motile sperm are crucial to male fertility.
5. Watch Your Weights
If men exercise too much, with little rest, it can have a direct impact on sperm count, shape, and motility. Exercising is definitely beneficial for both mental and physical wellbeing, but if you overdo it when trying to conceive you can have lower quality sperm. Not to mention, excessive exercise can lower a man’s testosterone levels and cellular damage can occur as a result of increased oxidative stress. Therefore, stick to moderate weight resistance and cardiovascular exercises.
