Sperm Health is Important in the Fertility Journey, too

Did you know that 1 in 8 heterosexual couples in the United States have trouble with either getting pregnant, or sustaining a pregnancy?

When it comes to fertility, I often see women (or child-bearing partners) blame fertility issues on themselves before looking into the health of their partner’s sperm. In fact, one-third of all infertility cases are related to reproductive issues in men (or sperm-producing partners).

It doesn’t matter if your sperm-producing partner has the health of an Olympic athlete, or the ultimate masculine honor" of driving a really fast car. Sperm health, much like egg health, is something we simply can’t decipher without running some diagnostic tests first.

Where To Begin?

You and your partner have control over many different lifestyle and nutrition-related habits that can impact your fertility status. Here is a list of general things to consider when it comes to sperm health in fertility:

1. Sperm Analysis Tests

Asking your doctor for a sperm analysis is one of the basic things to do when determining sperm health. Here are 3 things to look for when taking a peek at those swimmers!

2. Vital Nutrients

Nutrition is always important when it comes to supporting anything in your body! Plenty of Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, and Zinc are super important when it comes to fertility. Check out this deeper dive on the key nutrients and their best food sources for sperm health!

3. Lifestyle Habits

Eating a nutrient-dense diet, exercising regularly, and getting plenty of quality sleep are general key habits for a healthy body. But other factors (like caffeine consumption), can affect sperm count as well.

I want you to know that you and your partner do have control over many different lifestyle and nutrition-related habits that can impact your fertility status. However, it’s also important to note that even if you are doing “everything right” and still “failing,” it’s not your fault. Your fertility status has nothing to do with your worth as individuals, nor your capacity for love.

LEGIT SPELL CASTER 2025

Hello everyone my names are ALEX JACKSON from the UK, I want to use this golden medium to appreciate Doctor Abdul a great spell caster for helping me retrieving back my relationship with my ex lover when he ended and turned back on me for quite a long time now (6 months ago). He performed a spell for me and within 48 hours after the spell had been cast I received a text from my ex saying that he is sorry for the pains and tears that he had caused me and that he will not do such a thing to me again in his life. I was surprised but later accepted him back again. Anyone that is in the same line of problem or different one that wants to contact a spell caster should happily contact Doctor Abdul now on this email doctorabdulspellcaster@gmail. com or message him through his Whatsapp +2348108728256

I’m the happiest man on earth today. SPIRITUAL UYI has made me believe that it is good to keep trying. My marriage of nine years was almost over. I got married to my wife nine years ago and we both have two kids. We were living happily together until my wife was transferred to another city to work, That was how all the problems started coming up. When she was first transferred we always talk when she’s on break or closed hours, Sometimes she does come to the house and spend the weekend with us. After some months things started slowly going down and the communication started dying off, She didn’t come to the house again nor respond to calls. Now if I call my wife to check up on her she will start coming up with all kinds of excuses. All this worried my mind and kept me in deep pains. So one day I had to travel to the city where she works. I got to her home address she gave me when I got there, I rang the door, When the door was open I saw my wife with just a towel and what shocked me was seeing another man lying in bed fully naked. This broke my heart and I walked away. After some months have passed my wife never even cared to call me, That is when I now said to myself that this is not ordinary. I came to the internet to look for help. That is how I came across SPIRITUAL UYI who helped restore peace in my home today. The man I saw with my wife was a co-worker who used spiritual power to lock my wife for her to forget everything about us. But with the help of  i was able to get back my wife, SPIRITUAL UYI did best magic spell that brought back my wife to me.
