Low sperm count is the most common cause of male infertility. There are several dietary measures that a man afflicted with low sperm count can adopt in order to increase his sperm count. They include:
Eating unprocessed foods such as whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds.
Avoiding alcoholic beverages.
Drinking enough water
Eating organic foods when possible. Some studies suggest a connection between chemical fertilizers and pesticides with both male and female infertility.
As you can see, changes in your diet are not only useful in increasing sperm count, they make nutritional sense as well.
Refrain from smoking.
