Dr. Luo Yong
Foods and nutrients that help improve sperm quality and quantity:
1. Foods rich in antioxidants: Antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene can help reduce damage to sperm. Eating dark-colored fruits (such as blueberries, strawberries), vegetables (such as carrots, spinach), nuts (such as almonds, walnuts), and seeds are good ways to obtain these antioxidants.
2. Zinc-rich foods: Zinc is essential for sperm production. Oysters, red meat, chicken, legumes, and whole grains are good sources of zinc.
3. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids: Fish (such as salmon, cod) and flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for sperm health.
4. Folate: Leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, and whole grains contain folate, which is important for the integrity of sperm DNA.
5. Vitamin B12: Meat, eggs, and dairy products are rich sources of vitamin B12, which is also important for sperm production and health.
