• Male Infertility and Lifestyle Factors

• Male infertility is often linked to medical
  conditions and environmental factors.
• Occupational factors welders, construction
  workers, truck drivers, painters, and athletes
  exposed to harmful agents.
• However, sedentary lifestyle also plays a
  significant role in male infertility.
• Nearly 50 of infertility cases linked to "male
  factors" like low sperm concentration, motility,
  and abnormal structure.

• Obesity and Fertility

• Testosterone is vital for the development and
  maturation of sperm cells in the testes. It
  stimulates the production of sperm and supports
  their proper motility (movement) and morphology
  (shape).
• When testosterone levels are reduced due to
  increased estrogen production from higher body
  fat, it can negatively affect sperm production.

• Improving Lifestyle for Better Sperm Production

• A healthy diet plays a crucial role in supporting
  male fertility. Some of the key nutrients that
  support sperm production and motility include
  zinc, folate, vitamin C, vitamin E, and omega-3
  fatty acids.
• Regular physical activity is essential for
  overall health, and it also plays a role in
  improving male reproductive health. Engaging in
  moderate exercise can help regulate hormone
  levels, reduce stress, and support weight
  management.
• While regular moderate exercise is beneficial,
  engaging in overly strenuous and intense workouts
  may have a negative impact on male fertility.
  Excessive exercise can lead to increased levels
  of stress hormones, which might interfere with
  sperm production.
