Good news for all the java lovin' men out there - it appears that caffeine makes sperm all nice and perky! According to Brazilian researchers, "Sperm motility was higher in patients who drink coffee compared to patients who do not drink coffee." That means you may end up with better and faster little swimmers if you get a daily dose of caffeine.
The study also suggests that new coffee-based treatments should be developed for men with poor sperm movement since poor sperm movement can hinder conception. It's a pretty cool study - but then I'm sort of a coffee freak. The downside is that coffee, sadly, does not have the same effect for women trying to conceive. If you're a female, caffeine can actually hurt
your chances of getting pregnant. Even if you drink as little as one cup a coffee a day!
NOT FAIR says me. However, it's still good news for the fellas. If you're a guy looking to perk up your sperm be sure to talk to your doctor about this before you just start brewing and drinking. It's good to keep your health care provider in the loop.
