Researchers at the University of Rovira i Virgili in Spain studied 119 men between the ages of 18 and 35 for 14 weeks. The first group of men had no change in the way they ate. The second group added 60 grams of nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts) to their daily meals.
As a result, the group that ate walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts had a 16% increase in sperm count along with significant improvements in sperm health, motility and morphology (shape and size) of the sperm. In addition, these men had less fragmented sperm DNA. In other words, their sperm can swim longer, stronger. The findings were reported at the European Society of Reproduction and Embryology Annual Meeting in Barcelona (Spain) in early July 2018.
