The Impact of Lifestyle on Fertility
Lifestyle habits play a significant role in determining fertility in both men and women. Certain habits can either support or hinder reproductive health.
Habits That Affect Fertility
- Smoking: Smoking is a known reproductive toxin that can damage DNA, reduce sperm count, and increase the risk of miscarriage. (Reference: “Reproductive Health” by Dr. Howard W. Jones, page 123)
- Alcohol Consumption: Excessive drinking can disrupt hormone levels, reduce sperm quality, and increase the risk of infertility. (Reference: “Clinical Gynecology” by Dr. E. Christopher Ellison, page 145)
- Obesity: Being overweight or underweight can affect hormone production, ovulation, and sperm quality. (Reference: “Obesity and Reproduction” by Dr. Richard S. Legro, page 201)

- Diet and Nutrition: A diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals is essential for reproductive health. (Reference: “Nutrition and Fertility” by Dr. Anita K. Singh, page 35)
Habits That Support Fertility
