Winning Team: Carrots and Coconut Oil. ??
Carrots have many benefits and should be eaten both raw and cooked because they have different effects on our body.
The beta-carotene of which they are rich is assimilated better when the carrot is cooked. Vitamin A is also fat-soluble, so thanks to coconut oil rich in fatty acids, it is more easily absorbed by our cells.
Other than the most commonly known benefits such as improving our eyesight, there are recent studies showing that carrots also improve male fertility and sperm quality. *
Experts say that the consumption of carrots and orange and yellow fruits and vegetables, such as melon and sweet potatoes, would be able to increase the quality of the sperm by 10%.
Excellent if you are thinking of conceiving!???
