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.

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.

What does your doctor or urologist say, when you talk to him or her about increasing your sperm count? The best way to learn how to conceive a baby is to visit a doctor in person, and get advice from someone who has medically examined your body.

Food certainly helps, but after you see a doctor to make sure there’s no medical issues. Also, remember that it’ll take a few months after starting on a special diet or surgery. From the time sperm is produced to when it is mature and ready is about 72 days.

The best way to increase your sperm count and production is to make an appointment with a urologist or a naturopathic physician. I’m not a medical doctor, so can’t tell you how to improve your sperm count.
Always get an in-person medical exam before you take supplements or do anything to increase your sperm count.
