If you and your wife have been trying unsuccessfully to conceive, you have also likely had to undergo testing to see if your testosterone levels and sperm count and motility are sufficient. While medical interventions are available, oftentimes, a simple change in diet and lifestyle can help achieve the desired result. According to the World Health Organization, 40-50 percent of infertility problems are attributed to men. Here are three things you can do to help increase your fertility.

Eat Properly

A diet that is high in fat and processed foods isn't conducive to your health, and it isn't conducive to the health of your sperm, either. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and beans. Alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, food preservatives, artificial dyes, and additives can lower fertility, so avoid these compounds.

Take Vitamin Supplements

Studies have shown a definitive link between low testosterone production in men and a zinc deficiency. Too low of zinc in the male body also leads to erectile dysfunction and lowers the libido. A zinc deficiency is extremely common in older adults and vegetarians. A low protein diet and a diet that relies too heavily on fruits, vegetables, and grains for daily calories will frequently result in a zinc deficiency in the body.

Oysters have long been touted as an aphrodisiac, and this may be because they are very high in zinc. Adult males should take a minimum of 11 milligrams of supplemental zinc each day. Additional zinc can be added through the diet with meats, like chicken, pork, beef, lamb, and venison, as well as nuts and legumes. These foods are also high in arginine, an amino acid that increases low sperm count and sperm motility, or the ability for the sperm to "swim" more effectively.

Vitamin C also plays an extremely important role in male virility and fertility. Vitamin C not only makes sperm live longer, but it improves their motility as well. Citrus fruits are the best source for naturally derived Vitamin C, but as the body does not produce Vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it, a daily Vitamin C supplement should be taken.

Take Fertility Supplements For Men

There are many natural herbs that are thought to be effective for health issues specific to men, and special proprietary blends can be found online at stores like Crown Fertility and in natural health food stores. These herbs include:

  • Korean ginseng
  • Saw palmetto
  • Horny goat weed
  • Ginkgo biloba
  • Nutmeg

If the above tips don't work, then you may want to consider medical assistance to resolve your fertility issues. However, you may be surprised at the effectiveness of these natural methods, and you'll save yourself money too!
