NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The number of sperms in men has halved since the 1970s, researchers say, and researchers believe stress plays a major role in why male fertility declines very quickly in the United States, Europe and Australia.
Now experts recommend men to take more watercress, which is not only as a tonic but has been shown to reduce stress levels, according to the British Daily Mail.
Studies have shown that watercress is called "superfood" because it reduces the damage caused by DNA dysfunction and includes many nutrients that can help maintain the sperm count.
The treatment of watercress is associated with low risk of obesity, which can also be a contributory factor in low sperm levels. Dr Mark Fujarty, professor of nutrition and sports at Hull University, believes that increasing watercress intake can be the best treatment and helps to ease the body's stress response .
The researchers added that there are a lot of exotic and wonderful chemicals found in this magical plant "watercress" is particularly rich in antioxidant chemicals that wipe free radicals caused by physical stress.
