Everything You Need to Know About Male Infertility

It’s a common misconception that a couple’s inability to conceive is the sole responsibility of the woman. But the truth is that in 40 to 50 percent of all cases of infertility, the cause lies with the man.
Add to that the 20 percent of cases where infertility is due to factors from both the woman and the man and it’s clear that the male role in conceiving cannot be overlooked or underestimated.
A far greater understanding of the male role in conceiving allows us to recognize that a man’s diet, lifestyle, and general state of health can have a massive impact on his ability to successfully conceive with his partner.
A man’s lifestyle has been shown to have just as big an impact on successfully conceiving as that of the woman.
Perhaps even more importantly, a man’s lifestyle is now firmly believed to impact the future health of his child in a considerably greater way than previously believed.
Rates of miscarriage, birth defects, and even childhood diseases later in life have been linked to lifestyle habits of the father.
With this new understanding, it’s clear that a quick and healthy pregnancy, followed by the birth of a healthy baby, is a responsibility shared by both the mother and the father.

What you eat has a dramatic effect on your fertility, just as it does on your general health.
By ensuring your daily nutritional, caloric, and supplementary needs are met, and that fertility-harming foods and drinks are avoided, you’ll greatly improve your chances of a fast and healthy conception.
Proteins provide the building blocks of life. They are essential for the building and repair of all body tissues, the transportation of oxygen and nutrients around the body, the production of antibodies to fight infection, and hormone production.
Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are essential for healthy egg production in the ovaries.
Studies in animals have shown that inadequate protein intake, resulting in insufficient amino acid levels, can significantly decrease egg quality.
Amino acids are also required for the production of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, the two vital reproductive hormones.
Adults require approximately 70 grams of protein a day, which accounts for about 20 percent of our diet. High quality protein sources include meat, fish, eggs, lentils, peas, beans, brown rice, and nuts.
