Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, whose main function is to promote protein (protein food) synthesis. Vitamin A deficiency can affect the production of spermatocyte in testicular tissue, the degeneration of vas deferens epithelium, and the decrease of testicular weight. If men lack vitamin A, their sexual activity will lose vitality and enthusiasm.
Vitamin A is mainly contained in the liver and is an important element for maintaining liver health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there is a huge connection between the reproductive system and the liver. On the one hand, the liver's meridians are directly intertwined with the reproductive system. On the other hand, the liver is responsible for hair production and the effective use of bioenergy (energy food) in the human body. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine says that the liver is responsible for relieving stress, regulating qi, and promoting the activation of human body functions, especially the reproductive system. Therefore, eating tomatoes rich in vitamin A can enhance men's sexual vitality.
Eating more tomatoes for men is beneficial for health
In addition, the well-known lycopene in tomatoes has a strong antioxidant function, which can remove free radicals that damage sperm, promote the metabolic function in men, and indirectly benefit men's sexual function. The prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate is an important part of semen, and lycopene can prevent prostate lesions and delay sexual aging.
Nutrition experts say that eating tomatoes cooked is better than eating them raw, but do not cook them vigorously at high temperatures to avoid nutrient loss. Eating them 3-4 times a week has a good health effect on male reproductive health.
