Most fertility interventions are focused on the woman and not the man. A new study published August 15, 21012 online in Biology of Reproduction found that consuming 75 g of whole-shelled walnuts daily for 12 weeks has a positive effect on sperm in healthy young men consuming a Western diet. There were improvements in vitality, morphology, and motility of the sperm. There were also fewer incidences where the sperm was missing a sex chromosome. 120 healthy men between 21 and 35 years of age who normally ate a Western diet were recruited for the study. An additional health benefit of adding the walnuts, was an improvement in their omega-3 and omega-6 blood levels. Many couples choose to clean up their diets before trying to conceive. It makes sense.
