January 19, 2021
When you embark on an Assisted Reproductive technology or Surrogacy program, the health of all partners counts to ensure the well-being of the unborn child. Expectant mothers, as well as gestational carriers, are subjected to a battery of tests. What about men?
Their physical health is important not only during fertilization but also for the successful transmission of their genetic heritage. Here are our tips to take into account before conceiving a child.
- Improve your diet. Favor foods rich in Omega-3 and avoid fats that are harmful to general health and fertility.
- Control your BMI (body mass index). You should pay more attention to what you eat by avoiding ready-made meals, alcohol, etc.
- Reduce your alcohol consumption considerably. Alcohol reduces the testosterone level and consequently the number of sperm cells.
- Stop smoking.
- Eliminate (if possible) medicines and substances that can affect sperm quality.
- Exercise regularly.
- Improve the quality of your sleep.
- Get a check-up before planning a pregnancy.
