Men can support their sperm health by cutting down on alcohol, protecting the reproductive organ from excessive heat, eating healthy foods and incorporating tomatoes into meals!
The key nutrient that gives tomatoes their bright red color could boost sperm count, according to a study.
There have been several studies identifying an antioxidant in tomatoes called lycopene that has been associated with boosting male fertility.
Lycopene is not a naturally produced element within the body and the human body requires sources of Lycopene in order to make use of this powerful anti-oxidant. While other fruits and vegetables do contain this necessary health ingredient, no other fruit or vegetable has a high concentration of Lycopene that the tomato acquires.
The research shows that lycopene could increase sperm count by up to 70 percent.
Lycopene also increases the swimming speed of sperm and reduces the number of abnormal sperm cells.
A meta-analysis published by the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio reviewed 12 studies by different groups around the world. The research shows that lycopene could increase sperm count by up to 70 percent. All of them showed that lycopene improved sperm count and swimming speed, and reduced the number of abnormal sperm.
Other studies have shown the nutrient reduces diseases of the prostate, the gland which makes sperm, and may slow down or even halt the progress of prostate cancer.
Obviously, antioxidants when combined with a male hormone balancing blend speedily restore male fertility. If you are trying to father a baby, FertilXtra Kit for men combine with Antioxi-D will be of great help.
