Avoid acidic foods in order to increase your sperm count

A sperm plays a vital role in creating a new life. The quality and quantity of sperms in the semen are important factors that have a bearing on conception. A low sperm count creates difficulties in conception. Some of the common problems that men suffer are low sperm count, unhealthy sperm, and quantity and quality of the sperm. For semen to be healthy, it should either be white or grey colored, thick and of a reasonable quantity. Studies have shown that for every ml of semen there must be 20 million sperms. The overall sperm count should be at least 40 million of which 75% should be alive and 30% should be of normal shape and form. Of that, 25% should have a good swimming speed to move forward. Sperm count below these normal conditions is called as Oligospermia - and, if there are no sperms in the semen, it is called as Azoospermia.

Having a proper diet

As well as eating a healthy diet, it is important to know that certain substances are known to lower fertility. You should follow an organic, whole food diet, avoiding addictives, preservatives and chemicals such as artificial sweeteners. Modern methods of food production mean that much of our food is grown in soil robbed of nutrients by intensive farming, with the result that we no longer receive the correct amount of vitamins and minerals. In addition, the preservatives found in most processed food can upset blood sugar levels and disrupt the body’s balance. This can lead to osestogen, which can affect women’s chances of becoming pregnant. Eat a balanced diet and include plenty of fresh fruit and green leafy vegetables. Acidic foods reduce the sperm level instead of increasing it.

Avoid acid intake

An acidic imbalance decreases the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decreases the energy production in the cells, decreases its ability to repair damaged cells, decreases its ability to detoxify heavy metals, makes tumor cells thrive, and makes it more susceptible to fatigue and illness. This will lead to a reduction in sperm count.
