🥗 Lifestyle & fertility: giving your swimmers a boost

The Lifestyle Checkup

• Sperm hate heat: The ideal temperature for your testicles is around 34.5°C (about 94°F), which is roughly 2°C cooler than the rest of your body.
• Oxidative stress: Toxins like smoking, heavy drinking, and pollution directly damage sperm DNA.

How to Maximize Your Chances

1. 1. Reduce avoidable risks

   Avoid smoking, recreational drugs and anabolic steroids. Discuss prescribed testosterone, medicines, alcohol and occupational heat/toxin exposure with your clinician.

2. 2. Seek individual advice

   Eat a balanced diet, stay active and obtain fertility assessment when advised. Do not use supplements or a universal drink quota as a substitute for evaluation.
