Foods that improve male fertility

Male infertility exists even if it is often denied or hidden. Is it possible to improve fertility at the table? What foods contribute to increased fertility in men?

Statistically, one third of the problems when a baby does not arrive are attributable to the male, one third to the woman. The remaining third is currently occupied by unexplained causes.

I dare not imagine how many women in the past and in non-civilized cultures have continually been victims of physical and psychological violence for a child who did not arrive.

Even today, many men are unable to willingly accept a spermiogram  to ascertain their fertility.

Still too many foolishly confuse fertility with virility.

It’s time to take a step forward and take responsibility!

If there are male fertility problems , there are situations that can be remedied with specific treatments or interventions (see varicocele).

Male fertility, like female fertility, in some cases can be improved or in any case maintained at good levels, with the right precautions.

Nutrition, as we have often underlined, has a very important role from this point of view, because it can improve temporary male fertility problems and preserve their fertility for longer.

How can a man improve his fertility at the table?

Here’s what you should introduce into your diet:

  • Foods rich in vitamin C and antioxidants to prevent sperm defects and improve sperm mobility
  • Zinc to prevent sperm agglutination
  • Folic acid to promote the production of healthy sperm
  • Avoid or limit alcohol which can reduce testosterone levels and increase abnormal sperm count
  • Vitamin A to increase sperm mobility

And what are the foods that have these characteristics?

  • Oysters : They have a high zinc content
  • Oranges : have high content of vitamin C and vitamin A
  • Grapefruit : high in vitamin C and vitamin A
  • Broccoli : rich in vitamin C and vitamin A
  • Beans : high in folic acid and zinc
  • Sweet potato : high in zinc, vitamin C, vitamin A and folic acid
  • Tomatoes : rich in vitamin C and vitamin A
  • Green leafy vegetables : high in folic acid, vitamin C and vitamin A.
  • Dairy products : high in zinc
  • Eggs : high zinc content
  • Dried fruit: high zinc content
  • Carrots : high in beta-carotene
  • Tomatoes : high in lycopene
