Low Sperm Motility
low sperm motility
A major cause of lack of conception is low sperm motility. Sperm motility means the ability of your sperm to travel through the female reproductive system to reach the egg for fertilization.
Fortunately it is possible to improve low sperm motility relatively quickly by making small changes to your foods, supplements and herbal remedies. Here are five ways to boost your motility… and sperm count:
- Take zinc supplements and select zinc-rich foods. Low zinc levels in men affect sperm motility, sperm quality and sperm counts. I recommend seafood (particularly oysters!), liver, lean cuts of red meat, nuts and grains.
- Add fish oils or flaxseed oil to your diet, as it’s rich in Vitamin E. Vitamin E protects against free radicals, unstable molecules which damage sperm cells and cause them to become immotile.
- Eat foods rich in selenium. Selenium scavenges free radicals and is used by the testes to make selenoproteins, a vital protein required in sperm formation. Well formed sperm are more likely to be motile than sperm with poor morphology.
- Eat foods that contain L-carnitine. L-carnitine is an amino acid used in the production of sperm, and scientific studies have shown that men increasing their intake of the amino acid improved sperm motility and sperm quality over a period of 4 months. Examples of these foods include lean cuts of meat and dairy products.
- Take herbs such as maca root and ginger. They are widely available, and have no known side effects. In fact, in some countries they are heavily used as foods!. When taken in an organic form, and combined with other herbs, these herbs are highly effective for improving both motility, and sperm count. The best example of an organic blend containing these two (and some even more powerful ingredients) is FertilPlus For Men.
Low sperm motility can be overcome quite simply. With a few herbs, and some healthy alterations to your diet, you will be able to increase sperm motility in around 90 days.
