Sperm quality and thickness are some of the factors that affect fertility. Most men experience low sperm count and quality, which also makes them unable to perform well in bed. But what most of them do not know is that some foods can improve the quality and thickness of sperm. Below are 4 foods that can boost sperm quality and improve fertility in men.
- Eggs.
Eggs are rich in Vitamin E and protein, which helps to improve the count and motility of the male reproductive cells. Consuming eggs also protects the male reproductive cells from free radicals, thereby doubling the chances of fertilization.
- Walnuts.
According to Medical News Today, “Polyunsaturated fats are crucial for the healthy development of the sperm membrane. Such fats include omega-3 and omega-6”.
Omega-3 fatty acids increase the count of the male reproductive cell and boost blood flow to the genitals and walnuts are a fantastic source. They are tasty snacks and can be sprinkled on cereal or dessert. Other good sources of omega-3 fatty acids are crab, salmon, chicken, and pumpkin seeds.
- Citrus fruits.
According to Healthline, “Some evidence indicates that taking antioxidant supplements, such as vitamin C, may improve fertility”.
Citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits are some of the best sources of vitamin C. Grapefruits and oranges contain polyamine putrescine, which some animal research has associated with the potential to improve the health of the reproductive cells.
- Oysters.
There’s a reason oysters are known as aphrodisiacs. They contain more zinc per serving than any other food, and foods high in zinc may help with male fertility by increasing the volume and motility of the male reproductive cell.
