London: The inclusion of almonds such as almonds, hazelnuts, and nuts in a regular diet can dramatically improve the quality and function of human sperm, according to a study.
The randomized trial by researchers from the University Rovira i Virgili in Spain measured conventional sperm parameters and molecular changes over a 14-week study period.
The results "support a beneficial role for chronic consumption of nuts in sperm quality" and reflect a need for research for other dietary recommendations specific to men.
In the study, randomized subjects in group
These results are consistent with improvements in other recent studies of diets high in omega-3, antioxidants (eg vitamin C and E, selenium and zinc), and
The study consisted of a 14-week randomized clinical trial in which 119 healthy young men, aged 18 to 35 years, were allocated either in their usual group, either in their age group. Western-style diet supplemented with 60 grams a day of almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts, or their usual western diet without nuts.

In addition, subjects in the group of nuts also showed a significant reduction in their rate of sperm. The fragmentation of DNA, a parameter closely badociated with male infertility.
