Foods that help improve sperm motility and quality:
1. Foods rich in antioxidants: Antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium help protect sperm from damage caused by free radicals. Foods rich in these nutrients include blueberries, strawberries, oranges, kiwifruit, nuts, and seeds.
2. Zinc-rich foods: Zinc is a key mineral for maintaining normal sperm production and function. Good dietary sources of zinc include oysters, beef, pork, chicken, legumes, and whole grains.
3. Consume high-quality protein: High-quality protein serves as an essential building block for sperm production. Foods rich in high-quality protein include lean meats, fish, soy products, and dairy products.
4. Supplement with vitamins and minerals: Vitamins and minerals also play important roles in enhancing sperm motility. Eat more vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits such as spinach, celery, apples, and oranges, as well as seaweed and laver, which are rich in minerals.
5. Moderate fat intake: Although a high-fat diet is detrimental to health, an appropriate amount of fat intake is important for sperm production. Healthy options include olive oil and nuts.
