A fertility expert revealed the habits that men do every day and that they should avoid if they try to have a baby with their partner.
Dr. Pedi Mirdamadi of California warned that men could unknowingly be causing problems that could affect sperm count and quality with these activities.
The naturopathic and functional medicine doctor took his instagram page to warn that certain foods, exposure to toxins or electromagnetic frequencies could cause a significant reduction in fertility.
Highlighting three “fertility killers” that men should avoid if they are trying to conceive, Dr Pedi recommended staying away from hot saunas or hot tubs, mobile phones in your pocket and vaping.
He explained: “This is because when the testicles are exposed to heat for a prolonged period of time, this could negatively affect sperm production as well as their function.
‘This happens because the testicles like colder temperatures and that is why they hang outside the body.
“Since the half-life of a sperm is 74 days, going to a hot tub even once for an extended period can negatively affect sperm production for up to three months.”
The fertility specialist also warned that carrying your mobile phone in your pocket could cause problems.
