A diet of burgers, fries, pizza and high energy drinks is linked to lower sperm counts in young men, new research suggests
Burgers, fries, pizza and high energy drinks impact testicular function in young men, new research suggests. Specifically, the sperm counts for men who typically eat"Western" meals of high fat foods were 25.6 million lower, on average, than the counts of men noshing on fish, chicken, fruits, vegetables and other more"prudent" foods, a new Harvard study found.
Want to increase fertility? Try dropping fast foodSperm is the male reproductive cell. A man is considered to have a low sperm count if he has fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter or less than 39 million sperm per ejaculation. A low sperm count can negatively impact a man's ability to get a partner pregnant.
Women who made a meal of fast food four or more times a week took nearly a month longer to get pregnant than women who ate several portions of fruit a day, the Australian researchers found. Women who ate fruit less than three times a month also took longer to conceive than those who ate fruit three or more times a day. Lindemann concluded,"There is no magic food combination to cure infertility to my knowledge.
