Men who report lifting heaving objects at work had a 44% higher sperm count than those whose jobs weren’t as physical

Ok, I buy some heavier dumbbells and exercise more! Maybe better than Viagra? Men quit your office jobs! More job security for men? (just kidding) 😊

"WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS
Physically demanding jobs and rotating or evening shift occupations may be associated with higher testicular function in men measured as higher sperm concentrations and counts as well as higher serum testosterone and estradiol levels. Confirmation of these findings in other non-fertility clinic study populations is warranted."
