Currently, the cause of lower sperm quality is not sufficiently understood and many physiological, environmental🌍 and genetic factors🧬 are involved, including oxidative stress🚬.

According to a 2017 study, diet and food components 🥗 can be one of the causes of reduced sperm quality.

And what foods can affect male fertility?👀

▫️Soy foods: phytoestrogens contained in soy foods can have a negative effect on male fertility. These have harmful effects on the male endocrine system with potential effects on fertility.

▫️Potatoes🥔: mainly contain starches with a high glycemic index. Since glucose metabolism is important for spermatogenesis, excess intake of potatoes and other starchy foods may have a detrimental effect on sperm parameters. Hyperglycemia has been shown to affect sperm motility and fertilization in mature sperm.

▫️Fruits and vegetables🍎🥦: they are rich in water, antioxidant vitamins (especially vitamin C, β-carotene and polyphenols), some minerals with antioxidant effects (potassium and magnesium), folates and fiber. There is a link between antioxidant status and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in sperm.

Studies have been published, according to which the supplementation of specific nutrients and dietary supplements has a positive effect on male fertility. These important nutrients are contained in the ideal amount, for example, in our Fertility Booster for men.❤️
