Sperm Count is one of the most important characteristics
in male fertility. Research shows that in more than half of
infertility issues in couples, low sperm count is the cause.
According to the World Health Organization , sperm count
of more than 15 million sperms per milliliters in considered
normal. In semen analysis which is a test for sperm quality
to find the underlying cause of male infertility, the following
parameters are measured: sperm count , sperm motility ,
sperm morphology , volume, fructose level and pH.
Several environmental , lifestyle and medical causes can
lower the sperm count significantly.


Here is a list of the most common causes of low sperm
count:

#Drugs such as cocaine and marijuana
#Drinking alcohol
#Extended uses of computers and laptops
#Long-term sitting, such as driving and bicycling for a long time
#Smoking
#Stress
#Obesity
#Medical issues: varicocele, infections, inflammation of testicles and prostate, ejaculation issues, anti-sperm antibodies, tumors, homonal imbalance, gluten intoleance and some medications.

Exercise and a healthy diet can help you to increase your
sperm count. Here we gathered a list of 10 foods that can
help you to boost your sperm count :

(1) BANANAS:

Bananas are effective at increasing sperm count, since
they contain a rare enzyme called Bromelain . Bromelain is
also found in pineapples, and mostly in their stem.
Beromelain is a natural anti-inflammatory enzyme which
also boosts greater production of the male sex hormone,
testosterone (Source: Dr. Oz ).
Bananas are also a rich source of vitamins B1, A and C.
These essential vitamins help the body enhance its sperm
producing ability and increases stamina significantly.

(2) DARK CHOCOLATE

Dark chocolate is not just used in seduction, but it also
has enormous health benefits. According to a research
published in the Journal of the American Dietetic
Association , dark chocolate can increase the feeling of
attraction between two people by releasing the same
endorphins that are secreted during sex.
Dark chocolate also contains L-arginine, which is also
present in red meat, nuts, spinach and lentils, whole
grains,soy, seafood and eggs . This amino acid is needed
for sperm production and when consumed, increases
sperm count and boosts semen volume. According to The
University of Michigan Health System , several months of
L-arginine supplementation increases sperm count,
quality, and fertility.
L-arginine is also known to improve the dilation of blood
vessels, which increases blood flow to the genitals, which
can help the penis to enlarge . That’s the reason why men
who consume dark chocolate everyday have reported
stronger and more intense orgasms.

(3) GARLIC

Garlic has the ability to increase blood flow in the body.
Garlic contains a chemical called allicin . Allicin is
responsible for many of garlic’s amazing health benefits
including its antimicrobial, and anti-hypertension
properties. This compound prevents plaques from building
up in arteries and enhances blood flow to the genital area
which increases the production of sperm. Garlic also
contains nitric oxide synthase , or NOS, which plays an
important role in a healthy erection . Garlic provides the
body with selenium and vitamin B6 which are responsible
for the mechanism of healthy sperm production.

(4) POMEGRANATES

Pomegranates are useful in problems ranging from cold
and flu to low sperm count. Pomegranates contain anti-
oxidants that fight a chemical in the blood which destroys
sperm. This chemical is known as malondialdehyde
(MDA) . Malondialdehyde is also found in the semen and is
associated with low sperm quality . A new study published
in the International Journal of Medical Research and Health
Sciences (2013) shows that smoking increases the levels
of MDA in semen and lower the sperm count in semen.
Aother study published in Clinical Nutrition Journal shows
that daily consumption of pomegranate juice destroys free
radicals and boosts sperm quality.

Apologies.........I have already made the first post before knowing that I made a mistake

Mods....Can you please transfer this topic to the health section? Thanks

(5) BEEF

Beef is a rich source of zinc which possesses protective
properties that prevent free radicals from becoming part of
sperm. Zinc stops testosterone from converting into
estrogen which is responsible for low libido. According to
Mayoclinic, daily consumption of 66 milligrams of zinc
may increase sperm counts in subfertile men and 220
milligrams of daily zinc is helpful for sexual dysfunction in
men.
If you’re vegetarian like me, don’t worry! There are plenty
of vegetarian and vegan foods that are abundant sources
of zinc.

Deficiency

(6) WALNUTS Yoruba people do call it "ASALA"

As mentioned earlier, walnuts contain arginine that helps
in the increased production of sperm and also boosts
semen volume. Walnuts also contain Omega-3 fatty acids
which help increase blood flow to the penis. They also
possess twice the antioxidant power of other nuts. An
amazing fact about walnuts is that having 7 walnuts a day
lowers cholesterol and the risk of heart attack.

(7) SPINACH

Spinach has many health benefits and is easily available.
Green leafy vegetables like spinach contain high amounts
of folic acid . Vegetables enriched in folic acid help
contribute to sperm count. They also make sperms
healthier and increase their motility.

8 FRUIT SALAD

Fruits like oranges, strawberries, cherries, and other
antioxidant-rich fruits are effective in boosting sperm
count and preventing damage to sperm. Eating a fruit salad
helps you absorb all the nutrients of fruits at one time. By
making eating fruits a habit, it can help counteract free
radical damage. The semen of men who take up to 1000
mgs of vitamin C daily has less clumping than that of their
deficient counterparts. This increases motility and the
chances of fertilization.

U are not serious ooo.....hahahaha....Chai!!! everything na politics

(9) EGG

Eggs help increase sperm count and improve fertility. Eggs
are rich in vitamin E , a deficiency of which is responsible
for testicular tissue degeneration.
The antioxidant quality of vitamin E helps counteract the
negative effects of free radicals on sperm and egg and
therefore this vitamin is considered one of the most
important nutrients for fertility.

I agree with you totally. Most especially garlic and walnuts.
Ginger and tigernuts are also good for boosting sperm count as well as achieving a good and sustainable erection.

(10) WATER

The simplest way to improve you sperm count is to drink
ample water each day. It’s necessary to keep your body
hydrated in order to boost the functioning of cells,
including sperm. Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day
can help your sperm to go a long way.

Nice points.

For beef and egg, the watchword should be MODERATION as over-indulging in them, while it could boost sperm count, also increases one's risks for adverse cardiovascular events like stroke and heart attack. One has to be alive to produce sperm at all.

Key words in general healthy living have always been, Exercise, water, fruits and vegetables.

(11) TOMATOES CAN BOOST SPERM COUNT BY 70 PER CENT IF…

The key nutrient that gives tomatoes their bright red colour could boost fertility in men, according to a study.

“GET OFF YOUR BIKE” IS ALSO A HELP

Cycling has myriad health benefits, but not when it comes to your sperm.A 2009 Spanish study by the Andalusian Center of Sports Medicine and the University of Las Palmas found that a prolonged spell on your bike can severely affect the shape and quality of your spermatozoids. After monitoring 15 Spanish triathletes with an average age of 33 the study found that “those that systematically cycled 300 kilometers a week– had less than 4pc, which is considered a fertility problem”.

KEEP YOUR COOL

The optimum temperature for sperm production is 34.5 degrees celsius, which is slightly below body temperature. A three-year University of California study in 2007 found that five out of 11 men who stopped taking hot baths experienced a sperm count rise of almost 500 per cent.

(12) BEANS

A zinc deficiency is one of the leading causes of male infertility. Beans are a versatile, vegetarian source of zinc. To avoid food boredom, get creative with bean dishes. Try making chicken burritos or tacos with black beans, turkey chili with pinto beans, hummus (which is made from garbanzo beans) or lentil soup.
