A new research has named carrots to be the new super food to make the sperms healthier enabling them to swim faster and therefore be more fertile.
The study suggested that fruits and vegetables which are yellow in colour are beneficial in improving the sperm health.
Scientists from the School of Public Health from Harvard University found during their study that including fresh fruits and vegetables which are red and yellow in colour could efficiently make sperms swim at a faster speed and are better in quality which will result in healthier babies and successful pregnancies.
The study was reported by the New York Daily News.
Of all the vegetables considered healthy to improve sperm health carrots were the best in increasing sperm efficiency.
Apart from carrots other vegetables which boost sperms are lettuce and spinach which have a higher content of beta-carotene.
Beta carotene has earlier also been detected to be very good for cell renewal and is found in many beauty products. This antioxidant increases the sperm movement rate towards the unfertilised egg by 1.5 percent.
Another carotenoid found in spinach and lettuce alos did the same thing to sperms.
