Modern medical research shows that semen contains over 50 substances, including arginine, various vitamins, hormones, enzymes, choline, zinc, and calcium. For this reason, men who want their sperm to become "powerful" can eat more foods that tonify the kidneys, replenish essence, and nourish qi and blood in order to improve the quality and vitality of their sperm.
Eating five types of food produces powerful sperm
1. Food containing magnesium
Magnesium helps regulate human heart activity, lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease, and improve male fertility. It is suggested that men should have 2 bowls of oatmeal Congee with milk and 1 banana for breakfast. Foods containing magnesium include soybeans, potatoes, walnuts, oatmeal Congee, macaroni, leafy vegetables and seafood.
2. Foods rich in arginine
Arginine is the main component of sperm head production and needs to improve sperm motility. Foods rich in arginine include sea cucumber, eel, loach, cuttlefish, sesame, yam, ginkgo, tofu skin, frozen tofu, peanut kernels, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, etc. Since ancient times, sea cucumbers have been regarded as treasures for tonifying the kidneys, tonifying the essence, strengthening the yang, and treating impotence.
3. Foods containing trace element zinc
Sperm is rich in trace element zinc, which plays a crucial role in maintaining male reproductive function. Because zinc is an essential substance for sperm metabolism and can enhance sperm vitality, it is necessary to eat foods rich in zinc, such as oysters, shrimp, clams, shellfish, animal liver, walnuts, milk, beans, bran, and lotus seeds. Oyster meat has the highest zinc content among the public, emphasizing the intake of nucleic acid and protein that helps sperm metabolism, and can improve sexual performance. However, the daily amount of zinc should never exceed 15 micrograms, as excessive consumption of zinc can affect the effects of other minerals in the human body. 120 grams of lean meat contains 7.5 micrograms of zinc.
4. Foods containing calcium
Calcium plays an important role in sperm motility, capacitation, maintenance of hyaluronidase activity and fertilization. If the body lacks calcium, it will slow down sperm motility and reduce the activity of sperm acrosin. So men should also pay attention to consuming foods rich in calcium, such as milk, soy products, dried fish, pork rib soup, seaweed, shrimp skin, kelp, Undaria pinnatifida, goldenrod, shiitake mushrooms, mustard, coriander, sweet almonds, raisins, etc.
5. Food containing fructose
In addition, the activity of sperm is related to the amount of fructose contained in the seminal vesicles. If the fructose content in semen is low, it can easily cause azoospermia. Fructose is particularly abundant in honey and various fruits, such as pears, apples, grapes, pineapples, and sweet oranges, and attention should be paid to its absorption. Traditional Chinese medicine has recommended products that benefit, strengthen, and fill the essence, such as river shrimp, bird meat, beef, dog meat, fish swim bladder, walnuts, leeks, goji berries, and other optional foods.
