If he smoke he MUST stop immediately. Eat betterm. Less alcohol or cut out completely if you can. Don't let him put on heated seats in car. Don't let him sit with laptop on lap. Don't let him have hot baths. Cycle less. Boxers not pants. BD every other day, every day is too much if count is low. Take a man vitamin ie wellman.

These are all the basics but lifestyle changes can make a difference. Good luck.

Try taking zinc and folic acid supplements. They are supposed to improve sperm quality.

Other forms of food include those rich in Vitamin C and Omega 3, as well as calcium (taken from a website I found)

According to the University of Michigan Health System, calcium is essential for sperm function and motility, which is the ability of the sperm to move spontaneously and actively. Foods rich in calcium include yogurt, dried fruit, seeds, green leafy vegetables and cheese.
