Nowadays, many families have no children, and male infertility is a major reason, in addition to many DINK family reasons. Men's physical fitness deteriorates for various reasons, leading to reduced fertility. How to improve male fertility? Let's take a look together.
Studies have shown that drinking tomato soup can increase the body's absorption of lycopene and help improve male fertility.
A study released by British scientists has shown that drinking tomato soup every day can increase the body's absorption of lycopene, which can help improve male fertility.
According to the Daily Telegraph of England, researchers from the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Portsmouth randomly selected six healthy men with an average age of 42 and asked them to drink a can of 400g tomato soup every day for two weeks. The researchers found that the lycopene content in the semen of these men increased by 7% to 12%, respectively. Currently, it is known that the content of lycopene in semen of infertile men is relatively low. Therefore, researchers believe that increased male fertility is related to increased lycopene content.
The results have been published in the British Journal of Urology. It is unclear what role lycopene plays in fertility. Researchers speculate that lycopene contains antioxidants that may kill chemicals harmful to fertility in the body.
Previous studies have shown that lycopene has potential therapeutic effects on various diseases such as exercise induced asthma, and can also reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Tomatoes are also considered a good health product because they are rich in lycopene, but this is the first time scientists have discovered that tomatoes can help improve male fertility.
How to improve male fertility? The above has done a lot of introductions for everyone, hoping to help male friends solve this problem. However, it is recommended that male friends go to the hospital for testing in a timely manner to resolve the problem of male infertility as soon as possible.
