Wednesday, 29 Jul 2020 09:23 AM MYTMADRID, July 29 — New research has found that maintaining a healthy weight could help boost the quality of a man’s sperm.
Carried out by a team at the Rovira i Virgili University in Spain, along with researchers from the University of Utah , the Ahvaz Jundishapur University , and the National University of Córdoba , the study looked at 88 existing articles which investigated how weight — including being low weight, normal weight, overweight or obese — could affect a man’s sperm quality.
The findings, published in the journal Obesity Reviews, showed that being overweight and/or obesity were both associated with various measurements of low semen quality including semen volume, sperm count and concentration, sperm vitality , total motility and normal morphology .
Recent research has found that sperm quality can also be boosted by taking supplements of selenium, zinc, omega-3, coenzyme-Q10 and carnitines, which have been shown to improve sperm mobility and morphology. A small trial found that eating 60 grams of almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts daily significantly improved sperm count, vitality, motility and morphology, while research published last year also showed that eating a healthy diet and avoiding sugar could improve sperm quality within just two weeks. — AFP-Relaxnews
