Tomatoes May Boost Sperm Quality
/To me there’s nothing very sexy about a can of Campbell’s soup, but researchers at Britain’s University of Portsmouth published results in the British Journal of Urology in 2007, that a very small study of men, average age 42, consumed Heinz cream of tomato soup every day for two weeks.
The level of lycopene in the men’s emen rose between seven and 12 percent, which is considered significant. Low level of lycopene in men are associated with infertility.
In another study, this time in New Delhi, researchers gave lycopene to 30 men, ages 23 to 45. All the men had at least one of the most common forms of male infertility: low sperm concentration, reduced sperm motility and abnormal sperm formation.
