The study showed that men who had loose underwear had 25% higher sperm count and 33% higher number of moving sperm compared to men who had tight-fitting underwear. Therefore choose boxer shorts if possible. Also, hot baths can neagtively affect you sperm production which is why you should exposing yourself to frequent hot baths and other activities that increase the temperature of the testicles.
Tobacco as well as cannabis and excessive alcohol consumption are also well-known risk factors for reduced fertility in men.

Beverages containing sugar, such as soft drinks and energy drinks, and also the intake of protein supplements may have a negative effect on male fertility.
