For infertile couples, appropriately consuming more of the following foods in daily life is beneficial for improving fertility:
1. Foods rich in zinc: Among plant-based foods, those with relatively high zinc content include beans, peanuts, millet, radishes, and Chinese cabbage. Among animal-based foods, oysters are the richest in zinc, followed by beef, chicken liver, eggs, lamb chops, and pork, which also contain significant amounts of zinc.
2. Animal organs: These foods contain a considerable amount of cholesterol, of which about 10% consists of adrenocortical hormones and sex hormones. Moderate consumption of such foods can help enhance sexual function.
3. Slippery and sticky foods: Research has confirmed that arginine is an essential component of sperm formation and can enhance sperm motility, playing an important role in maintaining the normal function of the male reproductive system.
Foods rich in arginine include eels, sea cucumbers, cuttlefish, octopus, flying fish, sesame seeds, peanuts, and walnuts.
