Infertility affects one in every six couples. Researchers estimate that one in every three cases is due to fertility problems in the male partner alone. One of the causes of male infertility is low sperm quality. One important element of sperm quality is sperm count. Sperm count is the concentration of sperm cells in a given amount of semen. The good news is sperm count and volume can be improved through food.

Foods to increase sperm count and sperm volume

Foods rich in Vitamin C help improve fertility rates among men by enhancing sperm count and motility. Equally beneficial are foods rich in zinc. Zinc deficiency leads to low fertility levels, low testosterone, and low sperm motility. Antioxidant-rich foods lead to healthy sperms. Fruits and vegetables aid in sperm production.
