Sperm is an important medium for reproducing offspring and a key determinant of male fertility. Currently, a significant proportion of patients suffer from infertility due to low sperm count.
The causes of male infertility due to low sperm count are relatively complex, but except for the identified causes of dysfunction, they can be regulated through diet in daily life. The essential component for sperm formation is arginine. Foods with high levels of arginine include eel, loach, squid, hairtail, eel, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, octopus, snail, etc., followed by yam, ginkgo, frozen tofu, and tofu skin. Men with low sperm count consume foods rich in arginine, which is beneficial for increasing sperm count and promoting reproductive function.
In addition, zinc deficiency in the body can also reduce libido and sperm count. Men with low sperm count can undergo a zinc content test in their bodies first. If it is caused by zinc deficiency, one should eat more foods with high zinc content. According to a nutrition research report, every 100 grams of oysters contain 100 milligrams of zinc, every 100 grams of beef contains 4-8 milligrams of zinc, while the same amount of chicken contains 3 milligrams, chicken liver contains 2.4 milligrams, peanuts contain 2.9 milligrams, and pork contains 2.9 milligrams.
