What should men eat to improve sperm quality?
Disease description:
My wife and I have been trying to conceive for six months without success. Her medical checkup results were normal, so now I suspect the issue might be with my sperm quality. I guess I'll need to focus on improving it through调理 (regulating/lifestyle adjustments). Doctor, what foods or supplements are good for improving male sperm quality?

Dr. Yang Ziqi
Men can improve their sperm quality through dietary adjustments, and it is recommended to consume more of the following types of food:
1. Foods rich in high-quality protein: such as lean meat, fish, shrimp, eggs, milk, beef, and lamb. These foods serve as essential building blocks for semen production and can help improve both sperm count and quality.
2. Foods rich in trace elements such as zinc and selenium: Zinc and selenium are essential trace elements for sperm metabolism and production. Foods high in zinc include oysters, shrimp, clams, shellfish, and animal liver, while selenium is commonly found in seafood and nuts. Moderate consumption of these foods can help enhance sperm motility and improve sperm quality.
3. Foods rich in vitamins: Vitamins such as vitamin E and vitamin C play important roles in sperm production and motility. These can be obtained through the consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, carrots, spinach, oranges, and lemons.
