Well, it's a known fact that eating nuts can prove to be quite beneficial to our health. But now, a recent study has further proved that consuming nuts can actually increase the quality of sperm in men. A mixture of nuts rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and folate when consumed can help increase the vitality of their sperm. The study was conducted over a period of 14 weeks and found that consuming nuts helped sperm count, vitality, swimming ability as well as helped with fertility.
Lead researcher Dr. Albert Salas-Huetos, from the University Rovira I Virgili in Reus, said, “Evidence is accumulating in the literature that healthy lifestyle changes such as following a healthy dietary pattern might help conception - and of course, nuts are a key component of a Mediterranean healthy diet.” The research also showed that men who consumed nuts regularly showed significantly reduced levels of sperm DNA fragmentation which is a closely linked factor to infertility.
