Eating more tomatoes for men can prevent infertility
A study in India conducted on 30 infertile men, with participants ranging in age from 23 to 45 years old and suffering from varying degrees of infertility ranging from one to 20 years, including insufficient sperm count, incomplete sperm, and insufficient sperm motility.
In the test, participants would take two milligrams of lycopene twice a day, and the experiment proved that lycopene intake was directly related to infertility. After taking lycopene for three months, as many as 67% of infertile patients' sperm health has improved significantly, 73% of patients' sperm is more active than before, and 63% of sperm "structural quality" has significantly improved.
The results showed that lycopene contained in watermelons, raisins, tomatoes and some shellfish seafood could increase the concentration of semen. After the experiment, six men successfully pregnant their female partners.
Why can men eat tomatoes to prevent infertility? The researchers pointed out that oral lycopene treatment has a positive effect on unexplained infertility cases, and is more effective in improving sperm number and activity.
It turns out that the testes of normal men contain a large amount of 650 kinds of carotene, including lycopene, but the testes of infertile men contain low levels of lycopene.
The content of lycopene in tomatoes is the highest, so it is advisable to eat more tomatoes to prevent male infertility.
Tomatoes are not unfamiliar to us and are one of the essential ingredients for cooking in our daily lives. We also hope that they will become your friend.
