Eating nuts improve sperm health

 

 

Traditionally, in Ethiopia people often say that eating peanut improves sperm count. Well now a new scientific study seems to support that assertion that regular consumption of nut improves the quality and quantity of sperm in men.

According to BBC eating around two handfuls of walnuts a day improves sperm health in young men

Sperm shape, movement and vitality improved in men who added walnuts to their diet over 12 weeks.

The fatty acids found in these nuts are thought to have helped sperm development. It is not known if this would help improve male fertility.

According to the lead researcher there is increasing evidence to show that aspects of a man's diet can affect the number and quality of sperm produced by his testicles.

It is thought that infertility in men may be a result of too few sperm being made, or that the sperm have poor swimming ability, size or shape.

The study also found that sperm quality improved in terms of concentration, vitality, movement, shape and chromosome abnormalities.
