Now, Carrots are not only good for your vision. Researchers from Harvard University School of Public Health discovered that carrots have the greatest impact on the ability of sperm to swim towards an egg.

They asked nearly 200 young, college-age men to follow diets including a variety of fruit and vegetables and tested the quantity and quality of their sperm before and after the dietary changes.

Researchers found that consuming yellow and orange-co loured foods made sperm stronger. While carrots improved the sperm performance by between 6.5 and 8 per cent, sweet potato and melon also enhanced the quantity and quality of sperm.

The sperm boosting properties of carrots was attributed to carotenoids, which the body converts into health-boosting antioxidants like Vitamin A that helps maintain healthy sperm and neutralize free radicals. Vitamin A can also be found in broccoli, sweet potatoes and oatmeal.

In addition, red fruit and vegetables, particularly tomatoes, increased the production of healthy sperm. Men who consumed these foods had fewer abnormally shaped sperm due to the presence of anti-cancer chemical lycopene.

Just had the feeling again... I can see my beautiful children... lol

Keep staying healthy, informed and entertained.....
