Jeans Could Reduce Fertility

Acharya Girish Jha
A study conducted by AIIMS has revealed that the sperm count of a normal adult male in India, which used to be 60 million per ml around 30 years ago, has plunged to a third of that count — to around 20 million per ml. And this relatively swift decline in sperm count is being linked to habits which expose the scrotum to higher-than-normal temperatures.

The 10-year-long study, funded by ICMR and conducted by AIIMS associate professor Dr Rima Dada, questioned 1,000 men from north India and found that lifestyle factors like tight clothing, hot tub dips and long visits to the sauna, pesticide exposure due to intensive gardening or farming as well as increased obesity rates were major causes for decreasing sperm count.

It is startling revelation by scientists and if research is carried out further, it will further reveal that cause of stress, anxiety, anger and agitation in modern life is wearing tight, thick clothes. I was also using jeans as easy outfit, comfortable in journey and very economical in maintenance. After every meditation session, I had to go my office wearing jeans which took one hour. During one hour, I always felt discomfort, uneasiness. Until 1987, I could not understand the reasons of my stress. But when I started wearing Pajama and kurta (customized Indian dress) , I felt immediate relief from stress.
