Whether you have just decided to become a parent or have been trying for a while, you might wonder what you can do to improve the quality of your sperm and increase your sperm count. Thankfully, issues with male infertility can be effectively treated by changing food and lifestyle habits.

Which Foods Help with Male Fertility?

Including a wide range of nutrients in your diet can help boost your sperm health. Lean meats, leafy greens and nuts are a few foods that can improve sperm count and quality.

Nuts
Nuts are a fantastic source of essential fatty acids (EFAs) and micronutrients crucial for sperm growth and function. Therefore, increasing your nut intake may improve male fertility. While cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, Brazil nuts, pecans, pistachios and walnuts are some of the most popular nuts, all nuts are beneficial for fertility. Whether raw or roasted, nuts are good for you; however, roasting them may destroy the healthful fats within them, so it is best to eat them raw and avoid adding salt if possible.

Leafy Greens
Since leafy greens are high in folate, adding more of them to your diet is advised. The micronutrient folate is essential for DNA synthesis and can enhance the quality of your sperm. You can easily add peas, broccoli and Brussels sprouts to your diet as good sources of folate.

Lean Meats
Lean meat can be beneficial to your fertility. This is due to the high zinc content of meat, especially red meat.

Omega 3’s
Omega-3 fatty acids are more prevalent in male sperm from fertile men. These (EFAs) aid in boosting sperm quality and blood flow. Excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids come from the following:

  • Oily fish (like salmon, mackerel and sardines.)
  • Seeds, nuts and beans (including chia, hemp, flaxseed, walnuts, edamame, kidney beans or soybean oil)
  • Seaweed or algae

However, supplements are a fantastic alternative if you cannot get these foods.
