Hey fam! A wonderful week to you all and thanks for the emails…keep them rolling in. For the next five weeks, I will be talking about certain super foods for the penis to help enlarge, maintain erection and boost your stamina in the bedroom without side effects- all natural. Research indicates that some specific nutrients—from common vitamins to lesser-known plant extracts—have demonstrated positive effects on very specific aspects of penile performance. Some of my family members and close friends have testified to these foods. So I expect to hear from you as well.
Some of these God-giving foods help increase sperm count, semen volume and also make your little guy look bigger! After reading this, don’t miss these best foods for sexual stamina. Infertility in men is usually the result of a low sperm count. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a sperm count of over 15 million per milliliter (ml) or 39 million per sample is considered healthy, and a count lower than 10 million per ml is abnormal. Male infertility associated with low sperm count is linked to vitamin or zinc deficiency, which means that a few dietary changes could help shoot up the sperm count. Oftentimes, the quality of the sperm also has an impact on fertility. Men with a low sperm count can still be fertile if their sperm is in an excellent condition. The sperm is vulnerable to free radical damage, which affects its viability. So, having a good sperm count is of no good if the quality of the sperm is poor. However, eating a healthy diet rich in antioxidants can improve the semen quality and protect the sperm’s count and viability
How to Increase Sperm Counts
Dr. Rohini, Chief Infertility & IVF Specialist Explained That, “Sperm count is directly associated with sperm health. Before you start thinking to improve your sperm health, let’s first understand the markers of sperm health.” The markers of sperm health include:
Sperm motility: Sperm mobility refers to sperm movements. Sperms must be able to swim to reach and fertilize the egg.
Semen Volume: A minimum volume is required to carry the sperms through the female reproductive region. A normal semen volume ranges from 2 to 5ml per ejaculation.
Sperm morphology: The average ideal size and shape of sperm cell in a sample.
Sperm count: The concentration of sperm cells per ejaculation.
Now, the question is, How to increase the sperm count? The answer is not complicated as many think. The sperm counts can improve by YOUR Lifestyle changes, Food and Supplement. However, medication is suggested in the treatment of low sperm counts when the sperm count is too low. When I mentioned Lifestyle changes some guys tends to argue. But the truth is; lifestyle is a major factor in both male and female infertility and little change in lifestyle can take to the door to happiness. You are what you eat so what food do you eat? Healthy and balanced diet is key to healthy body as well as healthy sperm. Unhealthy lifestyle not only affects your overall health but also the sperm and fertility. How often do you Exercise? Exercise not only improves your psychical performance but also raise your testosterone levels. Several studies have shown that exercise can lead to improved sperm quality and can increase sperm counts as well. Getting adequate sleep is important to maintaining your health too. Restricted or excessive sleep is linked to poor semen quality.
Super Foods to Improve Sperm Counts
I’ve put together a list of foods which have a wide range of health benefits, including the ability to increase the sperm counts in no particular order: Walnuts, watermelon, carrots, peanuts, peanut butter, avocados, berries, citrus fruits, whole wheat and grains, most fish, vitamin D enhanced milk and milk products, dark chocolate, garlic, ginger, Turmeric Super high in Vitamin C, bananas, potatoes, tomatoes, chili peppers, Spinach, Leafy Green Vegetables, Ginseng, coffee, green tea, wine, oats, pumpkin seeds, chicken and turkey breast, beef, liver, egg, honey, olive oil, mushrooms, hot sauce, oyster etc
- Watermelon
Watermelon is one of the richest natural sources of L-citrulline, an amino acid that can help make things get up and stay up. Once it’s in the body, it converts to L-arginine, stimulating the production of nitric oxide, which increases blood flow. For extensive information on watermelon please read my previous article.
- Carrots
Carrots contain beta-carotene which is antioxidant. They help maintain healthy sperm by neutralizing free radicals. The antioxidants also improve the motility of sperms by helping it swim towards the egg. A study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility that analyzed the effect of various fruit and vegetables on sperm quality discovered carrots had the best all-round results on sperm count and motility — a term used to describe the ability of sperm to swim towards an egg. Men who ate the most carrots saw improved sperm performance by 6.5 to 8 percent. Carrots help the body make vitamin A. I will extensively talk about other benefits of carrot in my subsequent write-up on Health and Beauty.
