VIVAnews – Memperhatikan kesehatan sperma sangat penting bagi pasangan yang tengah berencana memiliki buah hati. Sama halnya sel telur, kondisi sperma menentukan tingkat kesuburan.
Salah satu ciri sperma sehat adalah jika jumlahnya mencapai 20 juta per mililiter sperma atau air mani. Demi mempertahankan kesehatan sperma, ada beberapa hal yang perlu Anda tahu, seperti dikutip dari laman Methods Of Healing.
1. Olahraga
Ketika tubuh Anda selalu dalam kondisi yang baik, jumlah kandungan sperma Anda pun akan baik. Mempertahankan kondisi tubuh mudah dilakukan dengan menerapkan olahraga teratur.
2. Ejakulasi
Atur waktu ejakulasi. Tunggu sampai tiga hari untuk ejakulasi lagi. Ejakulasi terlalu sering bisa memperburuk kualitas sperma.
3. Gizi seimbang
Dengan asupan nutrisi yang tepat, seorang pria dewasa bisa memaksimalkan kuantitas sperma. Hindari makanan pedas. Tingkatkan konsumsi sayuran seperti bayam, brokoli, asparagus, dan ganggang laut. Juga buah-buahan seperti tomat, semangka, jambu, dan anggur merah.
4. Air Putih
Tak ada fungsi organ yang berjalan normal saat tubuh kekurangan air. Dalam kondisi dehidrasi akibat kekurangan cairan, produksi hormon penghasil sperma akan terhambat. Takaran ideal, konsumsi air sedikitnya delapan gelas per hari.
5. Pola hidup sehat
Selain asupan nutrisi, kesehatan sperma juga dipengaruhi gaya hidup. Demi kuantitas dan kualitas sperma yang prima, hindari stres, konsumsi rokok dan alkohol. Kebiasan buruk semacam itu bisa merusak kualitas sperma. Pemakaian celana dalam yang terlalu ketat juga memperburuk kualitas sperma.
6. Bercinta di pagi hari
Kebiasaan ini seringkali dijadikan trik untuk mempercepat memiliki momongan. Saat bangun tidur di pagi hari, produksi sperma berada di tingkat tertinggi.
7. Berat badan ideal
Berat badan berlebih bisa memengaruhi kuantitas sperma. Pilih menu-menu diet terbaik yang menunjang perbaikan kualitas kesehatan sperma.
Penurunan jumlah sperma bisa terjadi karena sejumlah alasan. Selain kebiasaan mengenakan celana terlalu ketat, infeksi dalam tubuh juga dapat menurunkan kuantitas dan kualitas sperma. Menjadi penting berkonsultasi dengan dokter karena konsumsi obat-obatan jenis tertentu juga seringkali memengaruhi kualitas sperma. (pet)

10 Things You Need to Know About Love
by Mike Hardcastle
- Love does not hurt. Physical and/or emotional abuse are not a part of love.
- Love is not manipulative, it should not be used to get others to do what you want. You should never give in to demands based on the, "You would do it if you loved me!" tactic.
- Love is an intense feeling of caring for another person. It can take many different forms (romantic, friendly, familial) but it is always about caring.
- Although it is true that a big part of love is putting another person's happiness ahead of your own this never includes compromising your values or being untrue to yourself.
- If somebody asks you to do something that you don't want to do in order to "prove" your love they do not love you the way you might think they do. When you love another person you don't ask them to sacrifice a part of themselves in the name of that love.
- It is very easy to confuse lust for love. The true measure of romantic love is commitment and trust not physical attraction.
- It is possible to feel romantic love for more than one person at a given time. Just think, if it is possible for you to love both of your parents at the same time why would it be impossible to feel romantic love for two people at once? Don't beat yourself up emotionally if you find yourself in this unhappy situation. But be sure to remain single and be open and honest with all parties about your feelings and confusion.
- Sex is NOT love. Love is NOT sex. Sex can be a part of romantic love but it is never mandatory.
- Romantic love can (and often does) fade. When it goes there is not always a reason. When somebody falls out of love with you it does not reflect upon your value as a person or your desirability.
- Love should make you feel happy, secure and appreciated.

9 Words Women Use
The Real Meanings of
9 Words Women Use
The Secrets Are Revealed!
What Man Should Know
- Fine = This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
- Five Minutes = If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
- Nothing = This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
- Go Ahead = This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
- Loud Sigh = This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)
- That's Okay = This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
- Thanks = A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.
- Whatever = Is a women's way of saying F@!K YOU!
- Don't worry about it, I got it = Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but she is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?” For the woman's response refer to #3.
Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, cause they know it's true.

Dating After a Breakup: 4 Things You Must Know
By Dr. Laura Berman
After a significant relationship ends, or if you've been through a divorce, the idea of jumping back into the dating world can be overwhelming and intimidating. This is especially true if you are a single parent, or if you have been out of the dating game for a long time. Fortunately, there are many ways you can simplify your return to courtship and make a success out of your newfound singledom.
These are the 4 things you need to know:
Take time to heal. Make sure that you are mentally and emotionally prepared to date again. This is one of the most important parts of dating after a split. The end of a marriage or long-term relationship can be quite traumatic, especially if children are involved and you were together for many years. You can get through this difficult time by talking to a therapist, relying on friends and family for support, and taking each day as it comes. When you are ready to date again, you will know it!
Find your confidence. Divorce can do a number on a person's self-esteem. You might blame yourself for a breakup, think that you are a failure, or obsessively wonder what you did wrong. Stop! Your heart is still reeling, and only time will help heal the happiness and confidence that you lost. Until then, fake it ‘til you make it. Try a new haircut, get a facial, start working out again, or update your wardrobe. It might sound simple, but sometimes a little self-esteem boost can do wonders!
Get out there. You are not going to meet Mr. or Mrs. Right if you never leave the comfort and safety of your own living room. Make an effort to meet new people, and commit to dating at least twice per month. Ask your friends or family members if they know of any great single guys or gals, or try your hand at online dating. The more dates you go on, the more chances you will have to meet someone special. And even if the romantic connection isn't there, you can still network, meet new friends, and just have fun!
Prepare the kids. If you are dating and you have kids, try to keep any prospective partners away from the house until you are certain he or she is a keeper. Have sleepovers at their house, or if they have kids too, rent a hotel room or save sleepovers for nights when the kids are away. You don't want to confuse or hurt your children if the relationship doesn't pan out. Once you both feel comfortable that the relationship is serious then you can bring your new mate around to meet the kids. Try to make it a fun activity, such as a picnic lunch at the park, or an afternoon at an amusement park.
Remember, love and romance are important parts of everyone's life. Commit to making dating part of your life again, and enjoy the adventure and fun that comes along for the ride!

3 Red Flags That You're Headed for a Breakup
By Dr. Laura Berman
When it comes to breaking up, hindsight is 20/20. But wouldn't it be nice if you could tell that you and your partner were headed for a falling out before it happened?
Fortunately, you can predict a break up. And with just a little bit of tweaking, you can get back on track and rescue your relationship before it hits the rocks.
Red Flag #1: Tuning OutOne of the most common reasons relationships fail is because one or both partners is tuning out. It might sound minor, but in actuality, few things are more hurtful than being ignored by your loved one, whether that is accompanied by emotional neglect or physical distance.
The Cure: Take Down the Wall Tuning back in is easy. All you have to do is agree to listen to your partner's feedback and dedicate time and emotion to the relationship again. Start taking down the emotional wall, brick by brick. Look at your partner in the eye when he or she speaks (even if it is not what you want to hear), make physical contact daily (even if it is just holding hands), and re-commit to the relationship.
Red Flag #2: Fighting Fire with FireCouples who fight fire with fire can expect a relationship that is constantly up in flames. Name-calling, sarcasm, criticism, and violence (from throwing things, slamming doors, to actual physical abuse) result in emotional wounds that are hard to heal and relationships that are hard to rescue.
The Cure: Pour Water on the FlamesThe next time you feel anger guiding you to say, or do, things you might regret, take time to cool off. If that's not possible, try framing your complaints as requests. For instance instead of, "Why did you forget our date?," you could say, "I feel sad that you forgot our date. How can we make sure this doesn't happen again?" If your partner is the one who is fanning the flames, don't engage in the vicious cycle of insults and tantrums. You can't fight fire with fire if the other person won't engage in the flame-throwing.
Red Flag #3: Refusing to Own UpNo one is perfect, so why is it that some of us refuse to take responsibility in our most important relationships? Passing the buck and playing the victim are surefire ways to put a relationship in jeopardy.
The Cure: Take Responsibility for Your ActionsThe next time you forget an anniversary, or say something hurtful to your spouse, don't try to pass the buck and refuse to take responsibility. Instead, admit where you went wrong and try harder next time. Sounds simple... but it can save your relationship.
By making simple changes to the way you and your partner communicate, you can keep your relationship intact. All couples fight and argue, but it is how you fight and argue that determines whether your love can weather the storm.

After the Affair
By Dr. Laura Berman
Can you recover after cheating?
Cheating strikes at the very foundation of a relationship: trust, vulnerability, and attraction all hang in the balance after a partner has stepped outside the relationship.
However, infidelity doesn't necessarily spell the end of a relationship. It's not easy (in fact, it's grueling), but there is love to be found again after cheating. Couples who survive cheating tend to use the experience proactively, once they've gotten through the anger and deep emotions. Cheating is a breach of trust that should never happen, but some couples find a silver lining of renewed commitment and vitality in their relationship moving forward.
For couples who aren't ready to give up, both partners must rise to the challenge. The unfaithful partner must become 100% accountable, for past actions as well as moving forward. There should be a period of full disclosure. The rage and pain of the betrayed partner must be accepted. A new system of trust building means the unfaithful partner accounts for all of his or her time tangibly -- spending time with people the betrayed spouse considers safe and checking in frequently, with regular phone calls and the like.
For the betrayed, the challenge is to express the very natural feelings of anger, but eventually put a limit on it. Incessant anger and bitterness are not going to allow you to move forward. I suggest daily venting sessions of 10 minutes. Seeking the guidance of a therapist will help manage this process in way that's appropriate for each couple. Also, beware getting into the victim role. Though it's no one else's fault that a person cheated, there is a dynamic in the relationship that went wrong -- not just in the adulterer. Fundamental emotional needs were not being met.
Ultimately, there are plenty of examples of couples who don't make it past cheating. The relationship is simply too worn and tattered -- the trust and the love have run out. Or the person who committed adultery has a pattern of behavior that he or she is unwilling to change.
So can you repair after an affair? With forgiveness, accountability, and a lot of heart from both partners, you certainly can. However, I won't lie and say it's easy. Many couples simply don't move on from infidelity.

3 Signs That Your Man is Cheating
By Dr. Laura Berman
How do you know if you are dating a cheater? You don't need to be a private eye to suss out these warning signs:
Revived Interest in Appearance: If your partner suddenly undergoes a makeover of sorts, in which he spends much more time on his appearance, it could mean that he is trying to impress someone new. If he all of the sudden ditches his old khakis and sweats for something more stylish, it might be because he is trying to look his best for a new woman.
Missing in Action: If there are large periods in which your partner is absent and unaccounted for, it could be because there are mischievous motives behind his AWOL behavior. Whether it is a run to the corner store that takes over an hour, or whether he is constantly "working late," a missing husband could mean something sinister.
Mysterious Texts or Phone Calls: If you notice mysterious texts or phone calls on your phone bill, or if your husband tries to hide the phone bill or his cell phone from you, it might mean that there is a new love interest in the rafters. Additionally, if he spends more time on the computer, or tries to hide the screen he was looking at when you walk in the room, this is a good indicator that he might be philandering via the worldwide web.
Of course, the best way to discover what your partner is up to behind your back is to communicate openly and honestly with him. Share your fears regarding his fidelity and try to discuss the matter before you go crazy with worry. Remember, things are not always as they seem!
