If this system of natural protection is compromised, it can have a devastating effect.&nbsp;It is therefore essential to eliminate potential causes of free-radical damage&nbsp;<em>as well as<\/em>&nbsp;eat a high antioxidant diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine and processed meats can decrease fertility<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"839\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/healthgarden724.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-120.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthgarden724.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-120.png 839w, https:\/\/healthgarden724.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-120-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/healthgarden724.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-120-768x524.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8 foods you should eat more&#8230;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp;TOMATOES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomatoes contain a high amount of lycopene, an antioxidant.&nbsp;Lycopene has been studied in relation to male fertility. It was found to improve sperm motility, activity, and structure.&nbsp;Lycopene can be found in tomatoes that have been cooked or processed. Use tomato puree to make a tasty dish and add some olive oil to help absorb this fat-soluble antioxident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.&nbsp;WALNUTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walnuts\u00a0contain omega 3 fatty acid and, according to a recent study by the\u00a0<em>Society for the Study of Reproduction<\/em>, eating around 75g of nuts (about 2.5 oz) per day is associated with improved sperm motility and morphology.\u00a0You can add them to salads to give them a little crunch or eat them as a healthy mid-afternoon snack to manage your blood sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"336\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/healthgarden724.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-121.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthgarden724.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-121.png 336w, https:\/\/healthgarden724.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-121-198x300.png 198w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp;PUMPKIN SEEDS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pumpkin Seeds\u00a0contain zinc, which is essential for sperm production and testosterone.\u00a0Also, they are rich in other minerals and vitamins.\u00a0For maximum nutritional value, choose organic, raw pumpkin seeds and sprinkle them on cereals, salads, and smoothies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.&nbsp;Lentils<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lentils\u00a0contain a high amount of folate, which is essential for both male and female fertility.\u00a0Men who consume less folate in their diet are more likely to have abnormalities of the chromosomes of their sperm.\u00a0Lentils also provide a good source of fibre and protein for vegetarians.\u00a0Try Asian spiced grilled cod with lentils. It&#8217;s a tasty and nutritious combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.&nbsp;Blueberries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blueberries contain powerful antioxidants that fight inflammation, including quercetin.\u00a0Quercetin has been shown to maintain healthy sperm parameters, including motility and quality. Resveratrol is also known to increase sperm motility.\u00a0Add a handful of fresh blueberries to your daily diet. They are delicious in smoothies or on top of Greek yogurt with some\u00a0high-quality granola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.&nbsp;WATER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drinking enough water is one of the easiest ways to improve sperm quality and count.&nbsp;Water is the main component of sperm, so increasing your liquid intake can increase sperm production and ejaculate.&nbsp;Be sure to drink more water, as caffeine is diuretic. Soft drinks can also lower sperm count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Pomegranate increases testosterone levels, improves the quality of sperm and boosts sexual drive<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7.&nbsp;POMEGRANATES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The high\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/dark-chocolate-10-ways-to-increase-male-fertility-e1432724384575.jpg\">\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0antioxidant content of pomegranate is why it has been called a superfood for so long.
