No foods are guaranteed to improve sperm count, motility, or production – unfortunately. (image by telepathicparanoia via flickr)
Eating the right food can improve your sperm count and increase your fertility levels. This list of what to eat for healthy sperm is full of foods that aren’t expensive or hard to find.
If you’re worried about your sperm count and are skeptical about whether food will help, try Fertility Blend for Men. It’s the bestselling male fertility supplement on the market.
Before the tips, a quip:
“It is a well-documented fact that guys will not ask for directions,” says Dave Berry. “This is a biological thing. This is why it takes several million sperm cells… to locate a female egg, despite the fact that the egg is, relative to them, the size of Wisconsin.”
It takes billions of sperm to help one little guy get to the egg. Healthy men should have millions of sperm per teaspoon of ejaculate.
Here are five foods to increase sperm count, production, and motility…
Foods to Increase Sperm Count, Production, and Motility
If you’re having trouble getting pregnant, there’s at least a 30% chance it’s because of male fertility problems. That’s why it’s so important to eat the right foods.
Red peppers, carrots, oatmeal, dried apricots
The vitamin A in these foods help grow healthy sperm and improve male fertility. “Deficiencies in vitamin A in men have been linked to lowered fertility due to sluggish sperm,” writes Heidi Murkoff in What to Expect Before You’re Expecting.
To increase sperm count and motility, eat dark green lettuce, broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, and dairy fortified with vitamin A.
Asparagus, snow peas, cooked tomatoes, strawberries
The vitamin C in these foods affect sperm motility and viability (how fast and effectively they swim). Vitamin C and vitamin A are found in many of the same foods: kale, red peppers, sweet potatoes, yellow veggies and fruits. The antioxidants in these foods help increase sperm count by decreasing harmful free radicals.
Turkey, eggs, seafood, oysters, pumpkin seeds
“Inadequate amounts of zinc an lead to low testosterone levels and diminished sperm count,” writes Heidi Murkoff in What to Expect Before You’re Expecting. Zinc is actually quite widespread – it’s also found in beef, yogurt, oatmeal, corn.
To learn more about fertility foods, read Fertility Diet – 5 Delicious, Vitamin Rich Foods for Fertility.
Leafy green veggies, avocados, beans, whole grains
Make sure you’re getting enough folic acid, because low levels can lead to birth defects. Men with low levels of folate have more sperm with chromosomal abnormalities. To increase your sperm count, production, and motility, make sure you’re eating lots of dark green veggies and fruit. You may want to consider a folic acid supplement.
If you’re worried about your sperm count, production, or motility, try an at-home male male fertility test — such as the Sperm Check for Fertility (it’s a male sperm test to help determine if you have sperm problems).
Salmon, sardines, anchovies, walnuts
“DHA and other essential omega-3 fatty acids help improve blood flow to the genitals and increase sexual function,” writes Heidi Murkoff in What to Expect Before You’re Expecting. “Fertile men’s sperm contains more of this essential fatty acid than the sperm of infertile men.” Other foods high in omega-3 fatty acids include arugula, crab, shrimp, flax, and chicken. To increase sperm count, load up on foods that contain healthy omega-3s!
Consider a sperm supplement for male infertility
Sperm supplements and vitamins such as FertilAid for Men may not increase male fertility for all men — it depends on the cause of the infertility or health issues. But, supplements may not hurt! Always talk to your doctor or fertility specialist about supplements for sperm production, especially if you’re taking prescription medication.

I welcome your comments on how to increase sperm count, but I can’t offer medical advice. Please talk to your doctor, urologist, or fertility specialist if you need help with sperm health.

Dear Everyone,
I’m sorry to hear that your sperm count and production is low – I know how frustrating and disappointing that is! However, I can’t offer any advice or solutions. but I do encourage you to talk to your doctor or naturopath about ways to increase sperm count – including foods that increase male fertility in healthy ways.
Please don’t seek advice on improving sperm count from the internet – the only place to get good advice about male fertility is from your own doctor, after a physical check up and tests!
Blessings,
Laurie
