• Introduction

• With nearly 40 of infertility issues directly
  related to male factors, it is crucial to
  consider a fertility diet for men as well as for
  women.
• For the male, low sperm count, abnormal sperm
  appearance, and poor sperm movement can be
  affected by several factors, including food.

• What Determines Sperm Health?

• Sperm count This refers to the number of sperm
  present in a milliliter (ml) of semen. A healthy
  sperm count is generally considered to be at
  least 15 million sperm per ml.
• Sperm motility This indicates the ability of
  sperm to move and swim. At least 40 of sperm in
  a sample should be motile (moving forward or
  wiggling).
• Sperm morphology This refers to the size and
  shape of the sperm. Healthy sperm have a normal,
  oval-shaped head and a long, strong tail for
  efficient movement.
