One theory is that substances called xeno-oestrogens produced by chemicals used in the environment are responsible. To minimise contact with these, adopt a diet that is rich in organic fruits and vegetables and cut down on using plastics to store foods. (Keep leftovers in a glass bowl and stop using cling film.)

The first priority in protecting mature sperm is to avoid over-heating the testicles. Men with a low sperm count should not take hot baths or wear tight underclothing - both of which can affect the motility of the sperm.

Zinc is the single most important nutrient in a man’s reproductive system and zinc citrate, between 15-30mg a day, has been shown to help boost sperm count. Vitamin E and selenium are both important antioxidants that will further help prevent cell damage caused by toxins. Several amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, are also crucial to the formation of healthy sperm. L-arginine and L-taurine are probably the most important and you can buy these in supplement form too.

will come back to u with list foods that will help
