Sperm count is an important factor for healthy male fertility. Men who ejaculate 30 million sperm or more have a normal count according to IncreaseSperm.com. There are ways men can increase their sperm count, if it is not up to par.

    Exercise

  1. Stress causes a lower sperm count. Exercise helps lower stress and increase the number of healthy sperm.

    2. Diet

  2. A diet full of vegetables, lean protein and whole grains helps increase sperm count, according to BabyHopes.com.

    3. Personal habits

  3. Smoking and alcohol lower sperm count. Eliminating these habits helps increase numbers.

    4. Underwear

  4. Loose, cotton underwear helps keep the testicles cooler to increase sperm count. Boxers, in this case, are better than briefs.

    5. Supplements

  5. A variety of vitamins help increase male sperm count. These include vitamins B12, C, E, zinc and carnitine, according to BabyHopes.com.
