Fruits such as bananas, citrus fruits, avocados, watermelon, and apples are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients that support sperm production and mobility.
Bananas are high in vitamins B1, C and magnesium which promote sperm production and movement. They also contain an enzyme called bromelain that increases sperm count and mobility. Citrus fruits are packed with antioxidants that protect sperm from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress while vitamin C improves endurance for easier conception.
Avocados provide vitamin E to counteract the effects of reactive oxygen species and improve sperm quality. They also contain folate which supports spermatogenesis and DNA replication, improving sperm mobility, quantity, and quality. Apples are rich in fiber and antioxidants like flavonoid compounds that increase sperm count while protecting them from oxidative damage.
Watermelon contains lycopene a powerful antioxidant that protects sperm from oxidative damage while improving quantity, quality and motility.
