Health Desk- Oct 09,
2019: Lycopene - a nutrient found in tomatoes - may boost sperm quality, a
study has suggested.
Healthy men who took the equivalent of two tablespoons of
(concentrated) tomato puree a day as a supplement were found to have better
quality sperm.
Male infertility affects up to half of couples who cannot
conceive.
Fertility experts said more studies were needed involving
men known to have fertility problems.
NHS advice for men experiencing fertility problems currently
suggests they adopt a healthy lifestyle and wear loose-fitting underwear.
It also suggests reducing stress as much as possible and
ensuring they have regular sex around the time their partner ovulates to
maximise the chances of conception.
But the idea that certain nutrients could boost male fertility
has been gaining ground for some time.
Lycopene, like vitamin E and zinc which have been the focus
of previous research, is an antioxidant which means it prevents oxidation in
cells, and therefore damage.
It has been linked to other health benefits, including
reducing the risk of heart disease and some cancers.
