I knew about the benefits of tomatoes, mushrooms and mollusks but I didn't know it also helps male fertility. This information will help all male members and guests who didn't know about these yet. Thanks for sharing.

Another good post viktoria. Thank you for sharing these. Just to add, aside from eating tomatoes, you can get lycopene from tomato based products like tomato paste, sauce and ketchup.

Oh I love tomatoes. I usually just eat them raw. I love ketchup too. I also love mollusks like oysters and clams. Thanks viktoria.

Thanks mikaela, kathy and sasa. Just to add, you could also get lycopene from grapefruit, guava, watermelon, and rosehips but tomato is by far the best source. Fresh tomatoes are an excellent source but cooked tomato products like tomato paste, sauce and ketchup are more concentrated and since it's in cooked form, our body could easy absorb the lycopene chemical.

Now that sasa mentioned it, oysters helps boost mood and sharpen mind and clams was said to help treat hemorroids.
