In daily life, women often eat melon seeds while watching TV, but for men, they rarely engage in such "leisurely and elegant" behavior. Nutritionists point out that many plants and healthy foods can help increase sperm count and improve sperm quality, such as pumpkin seeds. Men often eat pumpkin leaves and seeds, which can make sperm motility soar.
Pumpkin seeds can improve sperm quality
Experts point out that pumpkin seeds contain a large amount of zinc. From the perspective of Western medicine, eating foods rich in zinc is not only beneficial for the prostate gland, but can also increase sperm count; From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, foods rich in zinc have the effect of tonifying the kidneys and helping to improve male fertility. In addition to melon seeds, nuts such as hazelnuts and peanuts are also rich in zinc, which can greatly improve sperm quality.
In addition, fresh dark green juice extracted from pumpkin leaves is diluted with the same amount of fresh milk. Drinking some every day has a good nourishing effect, which helps men increase libido, improve sperm quality and have a good reproductive capacity.
Eating pumpkin seeds can prevent prostate cancer
Doctors believe that eating around 50 grams of pumpkin seeds every day, both raw and cooked, can effectively prevent and treat prostate diseases. This is because the secretion of hormones by the prostate relies on fatty acids, and pumpkin seeds are rich in fatty acids, which can maintain good prostate function. A research paper previously published by American researchers also pointed out that "eating a handful of pumpkin seeds every day can treat prostate enlargement, restore the second stage symptoms to the initial stage, and significantly improve the third stage condition, because the active ingredients in pumpkin seeds can eliminate the initial swelling of the prostate and also prevent prostate cancer.
Therefore, for some men, eating a small handful of pumpkin seeds every day can not only improve the quality of sperm, but also prevent prostate cancer, which has great benefits for men themselves.
