Naturally Conceiving for Men

When we talk about conception and pregnancy, we often forget about the role that the daddy to be plays in the creation (or lack of it). Women are often the ones that the treatments focus on, while just as often, men have things they could do to help out the process.

Everyone knows the common suggestions, but what if you are doing all of those and really want some more uncommon tips?
Common tips include reducing testicular heat, reducing or quitting smoking, reducing excessive caffeine intake, and (obviously) watching the drug intakes, period. Vitamins are also hailed as an important part of the picture, but what if you don't believe in artificial vitamins?

That is what we will focus on in this blog.

Vitamin C: believed to help sperm unclump and help motility, vitamin C is often recommended to help boost your little guys' baby making power...so what kind of foods have the highest natural vitamin C content?

Brussel Sprouts
Cooked Broccoli
