For your guy
Eat this vegetable for the best sperm quality
Men: those from Mars simply prefer large chunks of tough meat. With gravy. And they drink beer while thumping their chests. But if you want some decent sperm, you better order a portion of vegetables.
Tomato tomato
Because what he eats definitely affects his sperm quality. And thus on your shared sex life. More and more men have – as it is politely put – a bit sluggish sperm. In other words: swimmers that tend to go a bit under. And what is also occurring more frequently: low sperm concentrations. Small splashes, then. And if you want to make (ever) babies, well, then a reasonable average dose is quite welcome. Anyway. What can you do about that ‘pathetic’ (sorry for this pun but of course we can't help it) little or sluggish splash?
Well, it's actually very easy: eat tomatoes. Lycopene is the crucial substance that gives the tomato its red color. And that substance is good for the quality of sperm. No less than 12 different studies show that it stimulates production and that the swimmers swim faster when the man in question has eaten some of the red vegetables.
Look, that yields something positive when you end up in bed together again. But, do note: it is best to eat organic vegetables. Because vegetables and fruits that have a lot of pesticides left on them actually lead to fewer and poorer sperm cells.
Come on, darling, it's afternoon
Does your lover not like Tommies? No problem. Research also shows that eating Dutch cuisine is good for the sexually active male population. Men who regularly consume potatoes, meat, and vegetables have twice as many tadpoles in their bodies as men who eat something else. And if he really wants the absolute best splash: afternoon sex yields better champions than morning sex. Now you know that too.
FACTS
– During ejaculation, 3 to 5 milliliters of sperm is released. A healthy man has about 60 million sperm cells in 1 milliliter. And only 1 needs to fertilize the egg.
– The quality of sperm decreases if there has been no ejaculation for more than 10 days. But too often is also not advisable. The ‘perfect amount’ is once every 2 or 3 days.
– From the age of 35, a man's splash is generally of lower quality. Men are most fertile between their 20s and 35s.
– Men who often go to the sauna also have a little problem: the testicles should not be too warm too often.
