For couples who have difficulty conceiving, scientists recommend eating rich colored fruits and vegetables. They contain substances that reduce the risk of pathologies in sperm and increase their volume, quantity and concentration. Thus, allowing you to effectively and quickly conceive children.
A report of the research conducted by Harvard doctors is contained in the journal Fertility and Sterility. According to the data given in it, 200 people with different levels of male fertility participated in an experiment conducted by doctors. Experts suggested to one of the groups of participants to follow a special diet with a high content of rich-colored vegetables. Others – stick to their usual menu. After a certain period of time, the man’s sperm was tested according to the following parameters: number, volume, motility, morphology and concentration of sperm.
Here is the result: Participants who ate tomatoes and carrots as well as orange, red and yellow vegetables increased sperm count and quality by 6,5-8%. And they reduced the number of various pathologies in them by 8-10%, thereby increasing fertility by 10%. For the rest of the participants, whose menu did not have any fruits or vegetables, the experts did not notice an increase in fertility.
How can this be explained? According to doctors, orange and red vegetables contain substances such as lycopene and carotenoids. The latter significantly affect the activity of the seed. And lycopene promotes sperm formation. All this affects male fertility and the conception of a baby.
