Eating a diet rich in select fruits can significantly improve sperm quantity and quality, according to Dr. Doan Vinh Binh from the Medical Information Center at Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. Fruits such as bananas, citrus fruits, avocados, watermelon, and apples are all packed with nutrients that support sperm production and mobility, while also protecting them from damage caused by oxidative stress and free radicals.
Bananas are particularly beneficial for men’s fertility, as they contain high levels of vitamins B1, C, and magnesium. These vitamins support sperm production and mobility while also helping to reduce stress levels. Bananas also contain an enzyme called bromelain which increases sperm number and mobility.
Citrus fruits are another great option for men looking to improve their sperm health. They are rich in antioxidants that help protect sperm from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. Additionally, vitamin C found in citrus fruits improves endurance for easier conception.
Avocados are a healthy fat source that provides vitamin E to counteract the effects of reactive oxygen species on sperm quality. They also contain folate which supports spermatogenesis and DNA replication, enhancing sperm mobility, quantity, and quality. Apples are rich in fiber and antioxidants like flavonoid compounds which can increase sperm count while protecting them from oxidative damage.
Watermelon is an excellent source of lycopene – a powerful antioxidant that protects against oxidative stress while improving the quantity, quality, and motility of sperm cells. Grapes also provide additional benefits for men’s fertility health as they contain resveratrol which helps protect against oxidative damage while quercetin reduces DNA damage. Mangoes contribute to improving sperm count by providing antioxidants like vitamins C, E beta-carotene which neutralize free radicals reducing oxidative stress.
Apart from incorporating these fruits into their dietary habits; men should also maintain proper work-life balance, manage stress levels effectively; exercise regularly; follow a nutritious diet; avoid stimulants such as alcohol or smoking; limit caffeine intake and consider taking natural supplements like eurycoma longifolia (French pine extract) or ocean oyster essence to boost testosterone production.
Regular health checks alongside consulting with a doctor about any reproductive health concerns are essential for overall wellbeing
