Do you know that certain behaviors can reduce the possibility of having children when you will grow up? Although at this time of your life you’re not interested to become a parent, there are some helpful tips to follow to preserve your health and and your future fertility.
If you are a boy, we recommend:

– Don’t expose to toxic substances. Especially if you already work, you can come into contact with substances that damage sperm production;

- The excessive thinness and overweight can affect your health, including the sexual one!
