1. Fructose Rich Foods

As Fructose is one of the main components of semen so a diet poor in fructose may result in thinning of semen. You can replenish your fructose deficiency by eating food rich in carbohydrates. Fruits and vegetables are rich sources of fructose so try to include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet plan. These are apples, berries, pears, grapes, dates, guava, mango, pineapple, watermelon and rich sources of fructose. Cucumber, cabbage, tomato, lettuce and onions are good sources of fructose.


2. Dried Dates and Milk

Soak 5-7 dry dates (chhuhara) in milk for 2-3 hours or until they become soft. Eat them with milk daily to cure the thinning of semen. Dates are an excellent source of carbohydrates and dietary fibers. They also contain a good amount of Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5 and a small amount of Vitamin A1. Dates(khajur) not only improve overall energy level but also increase sexual stamina and help to make your semen dense.


3. Zinc Rich Foods

Sometimes zinc deficiency also causes thinning of semen. Oyster, lamb (mutton), almonds, peanuts, pine nuts(chilgoza), cashews and sunflower seeds are good sources of Zinc.


4. Selenium Rich Foods

Selenium is also essential for the proper thickening of semen. Brazil Nuts, Sunflower Seeds, Fish (salmon, sardines and tuna), Oyster, Lamb(mutton), chicken, eggs, wheat germ, barley, brown rice, oats and onion are good sources of selenium.


5. Vitamin C Rich Foods

Sometimes deficiency of vitamin C may also lead to thinning of semen. Increase your intake of foods rich in Vitamins C. Oranges, tangerines, limes, guava, lemons, papayas, strawberries, black currants, grapefruit and mangoes, collard greens, green and red peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, potatoes, kale, spinach(palak), and watercress are good natural food sources of Vitamin C.


6. Vitamin E Rich Foods

Vitamin E Rich Foods are also important to cure the problem of thin and watery semen. Many natural oils including olive oil, sesame, sunflower, safflower, soybean, peanut, and corn are naturally rich sources of Vitamin E. Some nuts and seeds also contain a good amount of Vitamin E. Almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds are excellent examples of Vitamin E-rich nuts and seeds. Butter, margarine, eggs, wheat germ, wheat germ oil, soya, yams, corn and fortified cereals are other good sources. Some green vegetables like spinach and broccoli also contain a good amount of Vitamin E. Avocados, mangoes and sweet potatoes are also good sources of Vitamin E.


7. Vitamin B12 Rich Foods

Deficiency of Vitamin B12 may also lead to thin and watery semen. Try to eat foods rich in Vitamin B12. Liver, kidney, yogurt, cheese, eggs, dairy products, non-fat dry milk, fish, clams, oysters, salmon and sardines are good sources of Vitamin B12.


8. Reduce your Stress Level

Reduce your stress level because stress is also responsible for hormonal imbalance and causes thinning of semen. You can reduce your stress level by regular practice of yoga or meditation.


9. Regular Exercise Along with Healthy Foods

Exercise is important to strengthen the body muscles and adequate production of semen. Regular exercise not only helps to overcome the problem of thin semen but also helps to reduce your overall stress level. After exercise don't forget to fuel your body with healthy foods including fresh fruits and vegetables otherwise fructose deficiency may further lead to the thinning of semen.


10. Proper Sleep

Proper and uninterrupted sleep of 6-8 hours is essential for a healthy brain because only a healthy brain is able to release a balanced amount of sex hormones for the proper thickening of semen.


Some Precautions and Useful Tips:

  • If you are a diabetic patient fructose-rich food are hazardous to you so avoid consuming them before consulting a doctor.
  • Avoid Masturbation because the men who indulge in over masturbation start producing poor quality semen due to weakness of muscles. Testes require 48-72 hours to replenish sperms that`s why daily masturbation or ejaculation not only reduces the amount of semen available for each ejaculation but also reduces sperm count in semen and hence results in thinning of semen.
  • Maintain a gap of 3 days between two consecutive ejaculations. The more times you ejaculate; the less dense your semen will be because daily ejaculation reduces the amount of semen available during each ejaculation. So for dense semen and healthy sperms have sex with your partner at least after 2 or 3 days.
  • Avoid Smoking because it not only damages blood vessels but also restricts the oxygen supply to the blood and decreases sperm production and also decreases their life span.
  • Avoid alcohol because it affects your liver function, which, in turn, disturb hormonal levels. Even two drinks a day will have long-term effects on sperm production. So strictly avoid alcohol intake.
  • Avoid hot baths because overheating is dangerous for sperms.
  • If you don't get rid of the thinning of semen by using the above remedies then don't rely only on these home remedies, consult your problems with your doctor because sometimes thinning of semen may be a cause of other underlying sexual diseases.

Exercise and a healthy diet can help you to increase your sperm count. Here we gathered a list of foods that can help you to boost your sperm count:

1. Bananas

Bananas are effective at increasing sperm count since they contain a rare enzyme called Bromelain. Bromelain is also found in pineapples, and mostly in their stem. Bromelain is a natural anti-inflammatory enzyme that also boosts greater production of the male X hormone, testosterone (Source: Dr. Oz).

Bananas are also a rich source of vitamins B1, A and C. These essential vitamins help the body enhance its sperm-producing ability and increases stamina significantly.


2. Dark chocolate

Dark chocolate is not just used in seduction, but it also has enormous health benefits. According to research published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, dark chocolate can increase the feeling of attraction between two people by releasing the same endorphins that are secreted during lovemaking.

Dark chocolate also contains L-arginine, which is also present in red meat, nuts, spinach and lentils, whole grains, soy, seafood and eggs. This amino acid is needed for sperm production and when consumed, increases sperm count and boosts semen volume. According to The University of Michigan Health System, several months of L-arginine supplementation increases sperm count, quality, and fertility.

L-arginine is also known to improve the dilation of blood vessels, which increases blood flow to the genitals, which can help the penis to enlarge. That’s the reason why men who consume dark chocolate every day have reported stronger and more intense satisfaction peaks.


3. Garlic

Garlic has the ability to increase blood flow in the body. Garlic contains a chemical called allicin. Allicin is responsible for many of garlic’s amazing health benefits including its antimicrobial, and anti-hypertension properties. This compound prevents plaques from building up in arteries and enhances blood flow to the genital area which increases the production of sperm. Garlic also contains nitric oxide synthase, or NOS, which plays an important role in a healthy erection. Garlic provides the body with selenium and vitamin B6 which are responsible for the mechanism of healthy sperm production.


4.  Pomegranates

Pomegranates are useful in problems ranging from cold and flu to low sperm count. Pomegranates contain anti-oxidants that fight a chemical in the blood which destroys sperm. This chemical is known as malondialdehyde (MDA). Malondialdehyde is also found in semen and is associated with low sperm quality. A new study published in the International Journal of Medical Research and Health Sciences (2013) shows that smoking increases the levels of MDA in semen and lowers the sperm count in semen.


5. Beef

Beef is a rich source of zinc which possesses protective properties that prevent free radicals from becoming part of sperm. Zinc stops testosterone from converting into estrogens which is responsible for low libido. According to Mayo clinic, daily consumption of 66 milligrams of zinc may increase sperm counts in sub-fertile men and 220 milligrams of daily zinc is helpful for sexual dysfunction in men.


6.  Walnuts

Walnuts contain L-arginine that helps in the increased production of sperm and also boosts semen volume. Walnuts also contain Omega-3 fatty acids which help increase blood flow to the penis. They also possess twice the antioxidant power of other nuts. An amazing fact about walnuts is that having 7 walnuts a day lowers cholesterol and the risk of a heart attack.


7. Spinach

Spinach has many health benefits and is easily available. Green leafy vegetables like spinach contain high amounts of folic acid. Vegetables enriched in folic acid help contribute to sperm count. They also make sperms healthier and increase their motility.


8. Fruit Salad

Fruits like oranges, strawberries, cherries, and other antioxidant-rich fruits are effective in boosting sperm count and preventing damage to sperm. Eating a fruit salad helps you absorb all the nutrients of fruits at one time. By making eating fruits a habit, it can help counteract free radical damage. The semen of men who take up to 1000 mg of vitamin C daily has less clumping than that of their deficient counterparts. This increases motility and the chances of fertilization.


9. Egg

Eggs help increase sperm count and improve fertility. Eggs are rich in vitamin E, a deficiency of which is responsible for testicular tissue degeneration.

The antioxidant quality of vitamin E helps counteract the negative effects of free radicals on sperm and egg and therefore this vitamin is considered one of the most important nutrients for fertility.


10. Water

The simplest way to improve your sperm count is to drink ample water each day. It’s necessary to keep your body hydrated in order to boost the functioning of cells, including sperm. Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day can help your sperm to go a long way.
