New studies have been done that indicate Pomegranates may play an important role in prostate health by increasing sperm health.

Male lab rats given pomegranate juice showed increased sperm quality, testosterone levels and antioxidant activity. The pomegranate juice also decreased abnormal sperm rate.

Pomegranates aren't the only antioxidants shown to help with prostate health. Resveratrol has gotten a lot of press lately and has been touted as the one of the most exciting longevity discoveries in the last decade.

Resveratrol is the antioxidant from red wine and does quite a bit more than just help with sperm function. It's been shown to reduce colon cancer risk, possibly breast cancer risk as well as prostate cancer risk in significant numbers in lab rats. I'll be covering that more in depth in my upcoming series on anti aging supplements.

Now you could drink copious amounts of red wine (not recommended) and pomegranate juice to get these great health benefits, but I think an easier (and safer) option might just be this:
