Harvard Study Reveals That Blue Collar Workers Have Almost 50% Higher Sperm Count Than White Collar Workers

 

 Blue color workers with physically demanding jobs have almost 50% higher sperm counts than their whitecollar office-bound counterparts, according to a new study by researchers at Harvard University and Mass General Brigham.

“We already know that exercise is associated with multiple health benefits in humans … but few studies have looked at how occupational factors can contribute to these benefits,” said reproductive epidemiologist and the study’s first author, Lidia Mínguez-Alarcón, in a news release on Tuesday.

“What these new findings suggest is that physical activity during work may also be associated with significant improvement in men’s reproductive potential,” she added.

numerous other studies have found that physical activity — not necessarily at work — has a positive impact on sperm count
