Here is a wee study that shows the importance of diet for male health and fertility; anne x Healthy diet can boost male fertility Men who enjoy a healthy diet high in fruit and vegetables are less likely to be infertile, according to new research. New studies from Harvard University and the University of Murcia have revealed that poor nutrition can have a negative effect on sperm movement. Male volunteers who stuck to a healthy diet were found to have higher sperm movement while the sperm of men on poor diets was found to be less mobile. Audrey Gaskins of Harvard School of Public Healths department of nutrition and lead author of the study, said: The main overall finding of our work is that a healthy diet seems to be beneficial for semen quality. Specifically, a healthy diet composed of a higher intake of fish, fresh fruit, whole grains, legumes and vegetables seems to improve sperm motility... which means a higher number of sperm actually move around, rather than sit still. A second study led by Dr Jorge Chavarro of the Harvard School of Public Health showed those who enjoyed a diet rich in trans fat[s] had lower sperm concentration levels. The findings of the reports were presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
