Meat influence on men's fertility

16.10.2013

It's no secret that for many men the best dish is the "meat stuffed with meat, with a side dish of meat." However, doctors warn: meat products could adversely affect male fertility.

Researchers at Harvard University conducted surveillance of the health of 156 men who were experiencing difficulty conceiving a child. Apart from the general analysis and sperm analysis, the researchers also analyzed the diet of study participants.

It was found that men who prefer white meat fish have 30% more of normal sperm than lovers of bacon, sausages and ham.

However, scientists are still not clear why meat products negatively affect sperm quality. Nutritionists recommend that men should the eat many fish, fresh fruits and vegetables. According to experts, this food has not only a positive effect on fertility, but also improves the overall health status.
