If you as a couple are planning a pregnancy, you may often wonder about the health of your sperm. Start
by understanding the various factors that may affect fertility, to
consider the steps you can take to help your sperm become 'super'.Tthere are three points to measure the health of a man's sperm. Sperm health depends on several factors such as the quantity, quality and motility (movement) of sperm.
As quoted MayoClinic, based on quality, he said if the once fertile ejaculate semen (sperm) comes out to contain more than 39 million sperm. As for the quality of the sperm is said to be fertile if more than 4 percent of the male sperm have normal shape and structure.A normal sperm has an oval head and a long tail, which work together to be able to move that leads egg. As for sperm size large, small, tapered head, curved or curly and coiled tails, tend to be difficult to fertilize an egg.To reach the egg, sperm must be able to move on their own - wriggling and swimming to reach and penetrate the egg. Someone said fertile if more than 40 percent of sperm moving.

There are some simple
steps you can take to increase sperm production in order to stay
healthy, such as:1. Take
a multivitamin: Take some multivitamin every day as vitamin E and C can
help provide essential nutrients to optimize sperm production and
function."Vitamin
E and C can improve blood circulation in the area and stimulates
testicular growth and sperm cell division," said Poncho.2. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables: Eating lots of vegetables and fruits rich in antioxidants may help improve sperm health. Tomato products, berries, strawberries, and grapes are foods rich in antioxidants."Varicocele
occurs because the free radicals. With our eating fruits and vegetables
rich in antioxidants, free radicals can be treated," he explained.the widening of the veins in the pockets of the testes
(varicocele) became one of the main causes of infertility in men. Prevalence rate is quite high, because about 45 of the healthy men in the world experience this.3. Manage stress: Stress can interfere with certain hormones needed to produce sperm. Stress can also decrease sexual function.4. Make
physical activity: Physical activity (exercise) routine is not only
good for reproductive health, but also promote overall health. But remember, do not do excessive exercise. Because, if you exercise too hard, you may experience temporary changes in hormone levels and decreased sperm quality.5. Keep
Cholesterol: Too much body fat may disrupt production of reproductive
hormones, which can reduce your sperm count and increase the percentage
of abnormal sperm."Weight
loss does not directly affect fertility, but cholesterol. If body fat
is too high circulation is also not good. Levels of total cholesterol
should be under 200," he explained.one is likely to produce high-quality sperm if you can maintain a healthy weight and ideal.
