MEN; Five Foods That Will Boost Your Sperm Count

There are three major factors that affect sperm health in men. This includes stress, obesity, and poor nutrition. Here are five foods recommended to boost sperm production and prepare for the task of creating a baby.


1. Garlic: Garlic is an excellent choice for encouraging sperm production. It contains selenium, an antioxidant necessary for sperm motility; and allicin, a compound that protects the male swimmers from damage and improves circulation to the sexual organs. Add 1-2 chopped or crushed garlic cloves to meals daily for a rise in sperm count.


2. Ginseng: Ginseng is well-known natural aphrodisiac, but it also works wonders for those needing a conception boost. This male tonic is used to relax muscles, boost testosterone levels, improve blood flow to the genital region, and enhance sexual desire and performance. Evidence suggests that this herb can also be called on to treat erectile dysfunction. Consume 2-6g of dried ginseng root daily for a reproductive pick-me-up.

3. Walnuts: Walnut aids semen motility and viability by improving blood flow to the sexual organs. Aside from its sperm-enhancing prowess, walnuts are also known to lower cholesterol and boost brain function too. Just eight walnuts a day will make for happy swimmers.

4. Dark Chocolate: Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants, which fight harmful free radicals and promote heart health. This is important for anyone experiencing fertility issues as free radical damage is thought to be a major factor in male infertility. Dark chocolate's high antioxidant content actually rivals that of the acai berry, blue berry, cranberry and pomegranate, with the dark seduction trumping these super fruits in both polyphenols and flavenols levels. Stick to a few small squares of dark chocolate per day for healthy semen.

5. Oysters: Oysters contain high levels of zinc, which is essential for sperm production and the creation of testosterone. Eight oysters a week is a good place to start. The zinc can be stored in our body, so there's no need to eat them daily.

Did You Know? Drinking Too Much Water Can Kill You

Image
This might look strange, but it's true. Drinking enough water is essential for the human body to function, but drinking too much can be just as dangerous as drinking too little. Huge amounts of water upset the normal balance of electrolytes such as sodium in the body. For the body to function properly, concentrations of these electrolytes are held within narrow limits. If we drink a little more water than normal, our body effectively gets rid of the excess for example, in urine. However, if water enters our bodies more quickly than it can be removed, the electrolytes in our blood become diluted. When this happens, water passes from the blood into the cells and organs such as the brain, causing them to swell, which affects their normal function. Early symptoms of water intoxication include light-headedness sometimes with nausea, vomiting, headaches and a general feeling of being unwell – in fact, very similar symptoms to those associated with dehydration! Unfortunately, if lef...
