Tomatoes and carrots are a healthy way to improve sperm mobility and quality. |
By Isaac Kim
Study shows tomatoes and carrots are good for the male reproductive system,
reports United Press International (UPI).
The University of Rochester studied 189 college students and found the
beta-carotene in carrots and tomatoes helps sperm mobility.
Beta-carotene can be found in reddish yellow vegetables such as carrots,
pumpkins and sweet potatoes. Lycopene found in tomatoes also help improve sperm
quality.
Lycopene can be found in red fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, peppers,
watermelons and papayas. However, although strawberries and cherries are red in
color, they do not contain lycopene.
