Effect of food on male fertility

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

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

And what foods can affect male fertility?👀

▫️Soy foods: Phytoestrogens contained in soy foods may have a negative impact on male fertility. These have harmful effects on the male endocrine system with a potential impact on fertility.

▫️Potatoes🥔: contain mainly starches with a high glycemic index. Since glucose metabolism is important for spermatogenesis, excessive intake of potatoes and other foods with a high starch content can have a detrimental effect on sperm parameters. It has been shown that hyperglycemia affects sperm motility and fertilization in mature sperm.

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

Studies have been published showing that supplementation with specific nutrients and dietary supplements has a positive effect on male fertility. These important nutrients are contained in ideal amounts, for example, in our Fertility Booster for Men.❤️
