Fruits are a great way to give your body energy, they have also shown to increase the sperm motility in men. Our Industrial lifestyle and hectic schedules mean that our sperm is in constant attack. Add to them the bad habits of smoking and drinking and the motility of men takes a nosedive.  There are a number of studies that indicate this phenomenon as the quality of sperm and motility is decreasing in men every year.

Fruits packed with vitamin C seem to be the answer to the problem according to recent research conducted by the University of Texas. The study had a test group of men aged 20 to 35 all of them smokers with poor sperm quality. These men were divided into three groups, one of the group was given 200 mg vitamin C daily the other was given 1000 mg vitamin C daily and the third were given a placebo.  After a month the daily vitamin c takers significantly improved their sperm quality and the 1000 mg takers had the greatest change among the group.

In another study, infertile men who had vitamin C daily were able to impregnate their partner in 60 days or less. In some extraordinary case vitamin C restored fertility in as low as four days.
