A healthy sperm count (15 million/ml of semen) is a crucial aspect of male fertility. To prevent a dip in sperm volume, it’s essential to incorporate these five foods into your diet.
Fruits and veggies like oranges, avocados and leafy greens are rich in antioxidants and vitamins B, C and E. These boost sperm count, promote sperm motility and protect them from cellular damage.
Fruits and vegetables
Fish like sardines and salmon are abundant in omega-3 fatty acids (healthy fats), which help improve blood circulation in the testicles, resulting in improved sperm count and quality.
Fatty fish
Garlic contains compounds like allicin and selenium, which contribute to improved sperm health. While allicin improves circulation and prevents sperm damage, selenium boosts its motility and volume.
Garlic
Walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts improve sperm volume by enhancing circulation to the testicles. Walnuts are rich in arginine and vitamins B6 and B9, which promote sperm motility and replication.
Nuts
Pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and flaxseeds contain omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, which increase sperm volume and improve its quality.
