Preconception care is the ultimate in preventative health care, as growing evidence indicates that the maternal health during preconception and pregnancy largely determines the health of the future child and adult. The male is just as important when it comes to preconception, since he provides 50% of the genetic material. We know that sperm health and adequate numbers are crucial for successful pregnancies, and that smoking, alcohol, poor diet and other lifestyle factors adversely affect sperm quality.
