A healthy, well-balanced diet is not just important for preventing diseases like diabetes, high cholesterol, or hypertension, but it may be useful for preserving or improving your reproductive health too

Nigel Denby’s comment: This story is interesting because instead of taking a group of men, and then giving them a diet to see what effect the diet had on their sperm quality, these researchers separated the men by the sperm quality first and then looked at the way they ate. It showed a significantly better diet in the group had healthy sperm which stands to reason I guess but tells us a lot more than a study which puts guys on a supplement for 6 months and watches what happens. These men had eaten well for years which tells us that what we eat in the longterm has a direct effect on our longterm health- there aren’t any quick fixes.
