How to increase low sperm count

In the western world, the average sperm count of men has reduced by more than 1% a year for the last 50 years:According to the European Society of Fertility, the regular amount of sperm cells in an ejaculation (based on an average count) up to 1980 was of 100 million/cc. From 1986 forward, this number was reduced to 60 million/cc, and in 1992 and on, to 20 million/cc.
The main factor of the decline of male fertility, could be environmental pollution caused by the so-called persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which are chemical substances that exponentially accumulate in the organism. Some of these substances act as endocrine disruptors; they behave like a hormone without being one. In the case of the estrogenic disruptors, they act like female hormones, altering the testicular development of the foetus during pregnancy.
Other important factors are stress, lifestyle, obesity, smoking, alcohol, anabolic steroids, the use of cocaine and marijuana, excessive physical exercise
