This article states that men can improve their chances of fathering a baby if they maintain a healthy lifestyle with good diet and exercise (as chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity can reduce their fertility), they don't indulge in smoking, drugs and alcohol, have no STIs (gonorrhea, chlamydia) and plan to have children early in their life i.e. before the age of 40.
