Question

What foods can men eat to improve sperm quality? I have been married for three years, but we still do not have children. The doctor diagnosed that my sperm quality is poor.

Answer

As mentioned, the necessary component for sperm formation is arginine. Foods high in arginine include eels, crayfish, squid, yellow croaker, eel, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, octopus, and snails. Next are yams, ginkgo nuts, tofu skin, and bean curd. Men with low sperm count should consume more of these arginine-rich foods to enhance sperm count and thus improve fertility. Of course, excessive frequency of sexual activity can also affect sexual quality and prolong duration. It is recommended to have a proper and regular sex life, no more than twice a week, and to cherish one’s own body.
