Be Aware What You Eat
Food rich in folic acid is important for both men and women who want a baby. Green leafy vegetables, different root, whole grains, asparagus, as well as avocados and salmon contain plenty of this acid and they should be frequently found on your menu. Folic acid is important for the quality and quantity of the sperm, so taking more of it will definitively have positive impact on fertility.
Vitamins A and C, as well as coenzyme Q and minerals selenium and zinc are also important and every man should be taking supplements containing these substances if he wants to resolve fertility issues.
