Eating to "improve" and "make more" spermies!

heathette · Jul 27th, 2009, 13:09 PM

Hello girlies!

Well myself and hubby were just chatting, im going away on wednesday for a week, and when i return i'll be ovulating so its back to all systems go go go!

We then started to wonder if there was anything he could be eating whilst i'm away to increase the sperm count or improve it? He is a professional footballer so is very healthy and does not smoke/rarely drinks, but does anybody know of anything or heard any silly suggestions??

Looking forward to the replies!

Sorry I can't be of help, but best of luck to you!!!

I have read that he should be eating foods with Zinc- but honestly, have him take a multivitamin to get all of the nutrients he needs. Of course, no alcohol and smoking is helpful too, but that is a lot to ask (especially a beer or two).

Folic acid is supposed to be good as well. And Vitamin C x
