There are certain environmental factors that can lessen the chances of fertility occurring
in a couple. Both men and women are subject to certain environmental toxins that can affect
their fertility potential.
In women in particular, smoking is perhaps the greatest threat to fertility. Smoking,
particularly one pack a day smoking, or even less over a long period of time, has been
shown to make many women go into menopause up to two to three years earlier than their
counterparts who are not smoking. Smoke has an adverse effect directly on the eggs themselves
and smokers often are subject to poor egg quality and poor egg numbers. Additionally,
high alcohol consumption, the use of *** and the use of marijuana are associated with
substantially lower chances of fertility in both men and women.
In men, environmental toxins are also important as they can have an effect on *** number
and quality. Specifically, certain toxins cause a decrease in *** number, but also
particularly in the movement of the *** or in the shape of the ***. In men smoking
is also a major factor that can have an adverse effect on fertility, as is alcohol intake.
However, perhaps the greatest environmental factor is excess heat exposure. Men who are
exposed to high heat through hot baths or whirlpools often have a lower *** count
and poor *** movement. It's very important that men avoid excess heat exposure in order
to optimize their *** counts. It's also very important that men eat healthy, remain
well hydrated and avoid any hormonal toxins.
In particular, men who use testosterone enhancing medications; either for sports or for any
other reason, will have a very diminished *** count. In some cases the *** count
decreases to zero. In men in particular, it's important to avoid high heat exposure, smoking,
high alcohol consumption and live good healthy lives.
