Many men are afflicted with low sperm count and there are several common causes for low sperm count. These include tight underpants, sitting in very hot water like hot tubs, frequent ejaculation as well as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. The good news is there are proactive steps you can take today to increase your sperm count.

1- Improve your blood circulation. This can be accomplished by losing excessive body fat and getting frequent massages with oil of an herbal nature.

2- Masturbate and have sex less often. I know this doesn't sound appealing but the facts state that the more time you ejaculate, the less dense your semen becomes. Try and keep 2 to 3 days between ejaculations if you can.

3- Certain supplements have been shown to increase sperm count. Maca is an herb which comes from the Andes Mountains and has proved itself time and time again. Additionally you may also want to check out carnitine and acetylcarnitine which are known to help sperm motility.

4- Cut back on your alcohol consumption and smoking. Alcohol has a negative effect on your liver and can actually increase your estrogen levels. The opposite of what you are looking for! Even a couple of drinks per day can have a negative effect.

5- Retool your diet. Consume nutritious whole and organic foods that are low in fat and high in protein. Avoid bitter and spicy foods as well as caffeine.

6- Exercise regularly, specifically your PC muscle. This will help your orgasms become stronger.

7- Get rid of excess body fat. Studies show that high levels of body fat can cause testosterone imbalances.

8- Have sex in either in the early morning or early afternoon. This is when sperm counts are their highest.

9- Do not overheat your testicles. Avoid saunas and hot tubs and wear loose boxer shorts instead of tight underwear.

10- Reduce stress. Cortisol is a killer in more ways than this one. Learn to relax daily and maybe take a yoga class to learn proper breathing. Keep your body and mind healthy and in great shape.

Well, there you have it. 10 steps you can start immediately to increase your sperm count. Good luck!
