A Sperm Count Booster

Studies have shown that zinc can boost sperm count. It can certainly be taken in tablet form, but we’ve been told the body absorbs it more readily when it occurs naturally in food. With this yummy recipe you can sneak it onto your guy’s (aka, sperm donor) menu. It features two zinc rich foods: chick peas and tahini (sesame) paste.
