Exercise is associated with a number of health benefits and can help improve sperm motility by regulating hormones and contributing to weight loss. Try to get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise and 2 strength-training sessions during the week. Moderate aerobic exercises include brisk walking, running, or bicycling. Strength-training sessions involve lifting weights to build muscle. Avoid wearing tight-fitting underwear and pants that keep fabric snug around your testicles. Instead, wear fabrics that will keep the testicles around 94F (34C) so they produce high-quality sperm. If your workplace is hot or you spend a lot of time sitting down, take breaks to stand up and walk around where it's cool. Everyday products and equipment can release chemicals that increase your risk for fertility problems. Stop using or consuming the following products that can be harmful to sperm motility: Plastic food storage that contains bisphenol A (BPA). Bleached paper products such as white coffee filters, toilet paper, and napkins. Chlorinated tap water and bleach. Foods that have been treated with or contain pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, and other man-made ingredients. Synthetic cosmetics, toiletries, and deodorants. Animal food products that contain synthetic hormones, such as chicken, beef, pork, and conventional dairy products such as cow's milk. Tobacco products and secondhand smoke. Cell phone radiation Use condoms if you have more than 1 partner or stay monogamous with an uninfected partner to reduce your risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). STIs such as gonorrhea and chlamydia can reduce fertility and sperm motility. If you use lubrication during sex, choose a fertility-friendly lubricant (such as Pre-Seed) that's similar to the pH of the cervix or use a natural product such as canola oil or egg whites. The stress of trying to conceive as well as everyday life events can reduce your sperm count and slow sperm motility. Fortunately, relaxing and eliminating stress can improve your sperm fertility. To feel more relaxed, try: Meditation Deep breathing Physical exercise Sleeping

When you first start dating, it is natural to think that you need to go on 5-6 dates with someone you ask out. But if you do not feel a connection with someone then you should feel free to move on. Dating is supposed to be a fun way to get to know someone better, it is not a commitment to marriage or a relationship. If you don't want to keep dating, be polite and honest and break things off quickly. Never lie or ignore people you don't want to see, as this often creates more problems. Simply saying, "I had a lot of fun the other night, but I think I'd like to stay friends," should be enough. You don't need to jump right into a relationship, but if you feel like you have a connection with someone then you should invite the person out again. If you're really into someone aim to go out for food, see a movie, go for a walk, or meet for coffee 1-2 times a week and see how things develop. Again, remember to keep things casual to begin. Meeting your parents, for example, usually happens many months down the line in a relationship. The rush of love is hard to overcome, but both you and your partner will be thankful if you slow down the relationship and get to know each other naturally. Avoid making huge plans for the future together or seeing each other every single night. While intimacy is not a bad thing, rushing into a physical relationship can lead to hurt feelings and complications if both partners are not on the same page. While you might want to spend your entire life with someone after a date, take your time understand your feelings before launching head over heels. Respect their privacy and history -- you don't need to know all of their exes on the second date. Spend nights at your own houses and avoid lots of early sleep-overs. You can always get serious later-- it is much harder to slow things down. If you really enjoy someone's company, you need to build a rapport that reaches beyond the latest Game of Thrones episode. Building trust requires a little vulnerability from both parties, but the reward is finding someone you can confide in and get truthful, helpful advice in return. Building trust requires giving trust. Share a small secret, insecurity, or goal and see if they are willing to open up in the same way. As you become more comfortable, you'll likely trust someone with more and more of your life. This is the foundation of a strong relationship. You cannot still be dating around if you want to solidify a relationship. While many people have no problem with going on 2-3 casual dates early on, you need to make a commitment to someone if you want them to make a commitment to you. If you find yourself going on 2-3 dates with the same person, it is time to cancel any other romantic plans and stop searching for new dates. If this doesn't sound appealing, then you should be honest with your partner about your needs. This is often a difficult conversation to start, but if you feel a connection they likely feel one too. After going on 3-5 dates, you need to sit down together and talk about where things are headed. Are you interested in a relationship, or do you want tot take things slowly and see how they develop. Talking now will prevent heartbreak later. No one like it when you stop hanging out with your friends the minute a new love interest comes into the fold. Keep spending time with your friends, working, and seeing your family. You shouldn't feel like you need to spend every waking moment with your new flame. Instead, set boundaries between you so that you are comfortable doing your own thing from time to time. They will appreciate this too. Don't feel bad if you have to turn down the occasional date. Make time in your schedule for your old friends frequently -- they are the ones that will be there for you if something goes wrong.

If you dislike olive oilor simply don't have any on handsubstitute the same amount of another vegetable oil, such as coconut oil. This won't change the flavor of the roasted Brussels sprouts, and will prevent them from sticking to the pan just as well as olive oil. Coconut oil may slightly alter the flavor of the sprouts. It may give them a very mild coconut taste, and will also make the sprouts taste sweeter. Other types of vegetable oil you could use include safflower oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, or sesame oil. If you're in a rush when preparing baked Brussels sprouts, you can save time by cutting the sprouts in half before mixing them with the olive oil and salt. Then, instead of roasting the sprouts for 40-45 minutes, roast them for 20-23 minutes. Keep the oven at 400F (204C); you don't need to alter the baking temperature. Use a sharp knife to cut the frozen Brussels sprouts. They'll be a little tougher to cut than thawed sprouts, but can be cut in half relatively easily. If you'd like your roasted Brussel sprouts to have more flavor, add tangy, sweet balsamic vinegar before drizzling the mixture over the frozen sprouts. Mix 3 tablespoons (44mL) of balsamic vinegar with 12 cup (120mL) of olive oil before pouring the mixture over the top of the sprouts. Once they're mixed, pour the vinegar and oil over the sprouts and add salt. You can purchase balsamic vinegar at any grocery store or supermarket.
