How Effective Is Turmeric For Male Fertility?

The food habits and lifestyle play a vital role in male fertility. Men who lead an active lifestyle and have a healthy natural diet are less prone to develop Male Infertility issues in their life.

Male fertility issues can look like:

• Abnormality in the sperm production
• Reduced sex drive or libido
• Enlargement of the veins of the testicles
• Erectile dysfunction

These are some of the major fertility problems that men around the world face.

If you also identify yourself to be dealing with such an issue or want to keep fertility problems at bay, here you will read about the simplest yet most effective remedy for it.

Turmeric is one of the most effective home remedies that help in boosting fertility in males. It is invariably popular for the medicinal properties that make it effective in curing several ailments.

Let’s get a detailed insight into the effectiveness of turmeric for male fertility:

• Improves semen testosterone levels

Testosterone is the most important sex hormone required for a healthy reproductive life. Lower levels of testosterone in the male body can have adverse effects on erectile functioning, sperm quality, libido, and thus, the overall sexual function. Turmeric can be the savior here. Turmeric has a compound called curcumin as its major component. Curcumin boosts the production of semen testosterone and thus helps a great deal in infertility issues.

• Improves sperm profile
  
  

Poor quality sperms and impaired sperm motility are two of the major causes of fertility issues in men. Turmeric intake can help in improving both these factors. Curcumin present in turmeric has great antioxidant properties that bring about significant improvement in sperm motility and sperm viability. In addition to curcumin, turmeric also contains Vitamin C that helps increase sperm count. Therefore, turmeric can help improve the entire sperm profile, and in turn, have positive effects on male fertility. (Also read: Low sperm count- causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment)

• Protects the male reproductive system from oxidative stress

Oxidative stress caused by free radicals can negatively impact the male reproductive system and thus give rise to fertility problems. Free radicals in the Leydig cells can reduce the production of testosterone. Also, oxidative stress can cause damage to sperm DNA and affect its integrity, making it less capable to fertilize the female egg. Curcumin can save you from this as well. Curcumin is enriched with antioxidants that protect the male reproductive system from oxidative stress and thus help maintain proper testosterone levels and sperm DNA integrity.

• Protects from toxic compounds

In addition to oxidative stress, turmeric also protects the sperms and male reproductive system from toxic compounds like chromium (VI), nitrate pollutants, and some toxins present in cigarettes. These compounds can damage the sperms and reduce their quality. Therefore, if you have been exposed to any of these compounds, turmeric can help. Turmeric may not be able to completely fight off its toxicity, but it can certainly reduce or delay the adverse impacts.

• Fights of obesity, high cholesterol, and hypertension
  
  

Excess body weight, high cholesterol levels, and high blood pressure are some of the major risk factors for male infertility. Turmeric can balance cholesterol levels, improve lipid metabolism, and help regulate blood pressure. Therefore, it can reduce the risk of fertility issues in your case.

• Reduces stress

Curcumin is a compound that is present in turmeric, it greatly brings down stress and anxiety. As an effect of this, fertility improves and a male is able to perform better sexually. Curcumin is even known for reversing the effects of brain cells that are induced due to chronic stress. And, not just stress, medical experts claim curcumin to have antidepressant effects as well.
