Autumn is the time of year most associated with new babies, and there may be a scientific reason for it: human sperm are generally at their healthiest in winter and early spring.

Researchers found sperm in greater numbers, with faster swimming speeds and fewer abnormalities in semen made during the winter, with a steady decline in quality from spring onward.

Taking into account the approximately 70 days it takes for the body to produce a sperm cell, the researchers found that men with normal sperm production had the healthiest sperm in the winter.

However, for men with abnormal sperm production the pattern didn't hold. Those men showed a slight trend toward better motility during the fall and made the largest percentage of normal shaped sperm - about 7 percent - during the spring.

"Based on our results the (normal) semen will perform better in winter, whereas infertility cases related to low sperm counts should be encouraged to choose spring and fall," the researchers wrote.

Possible causes of these seasonal changes in sperm production and fertility may be due to factors ranging from temperature, to length of daylight exposure and hormone variations.

If you are a male, over 35 years old, and have been trying unsuccessfully to conceive for more than 6 months, get a detailed semen analysis done so you know how your little guys are doing. Call Zen Fertility Center at (858) 495-0771 to get more info on what semen analysis needs to be done.

If you already know you have impaired sperm quality, call us today so we can help you take advantage of this natural flow of manly mojo. That's code for improving sperm quality such as count, motility, and morphology. :)

Dealing with all of the environmental toxins today, can be quite a load on the body. A simple way to help combat these toxins is to take a detoxification bath. In spas today, the use of water therapy is very popular. Bathing in waters containing various healing ingredients can help to release toxins, promote energy, circulation, and well being.

This bath can be done in your very own bathtub and does not require special equipment. Hot water helps draw toxins out of the body to the skin’s surface. When the water cools, it pulls toxins from the skin. The ocean, mineral, hot springs and herbal baths have been used for centuries worldwide, for their therapeutic effects.

Here's a simple recipe to help combat toxins and detoxify my body:

• 1 cup Epsom salts
• 1 cup Sea Salt
• 1 cup Baking Soda
•  1/2 cup grated fresh Ginger

Pour Epsom salt, sea salt, baking soda, and ginger into a warm bath and soak for 15 to 20 minutes. After soaking, scrub the skin gently with a natural fiber like a cotton washcloth or a loofah sponge for 5 minutes. Do not remain in the tub for more than 30 minutes. Note the "murky"appearance of the water, this is due to the toxins released in your bath water. Wrap yourself in a large towel or bathrobe and then cover up with a warm blanket. You will sweat for about an hour. The next morning you will feel fantastic!

You can take a detoxification bath often, or at least once a month. In addition to detoxifying the body, this bath is helps relieve pain.

Feel like you need a deeper detox? Call us today at (858) 495-0771 to see how we can help you get more energy, eliminate brain fog, feel better, and start an anti-aging program.  Aging with zest and vitality is an attainable long-term goal because an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
