The study concluded that men who regularly consume nuts have better sperm quality.<\/p>\n<p>The study worked with a sample of up to 222 healthy men aged between 18 and 40 years who were participants in the international project called Led-Fertyl. This was a cross-sectional study focused on dietary and lifestyle factors related to semen quality. To analyse the relationship between nut consumption and sperm quality, the researchers collected detailed information on the participants\u2019 eating habits through validated nutritional questionnaires and compared it with the results of their semen analyses, the clinical test used to assess parameters such as sperm concentration, count, and motility.<\/p>\n<p>Participants with a higher consumption of nuts were less likely to show abnormalities in sperm motility, one of the factors that may affect male fertility. More specifically, the research team points out that men who consumed one portion per day were 75% less likely to present sperm motility problems and had a 69% lower risk of having any abnormality in their semen analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Study reference<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>D\u00e1vila-C\u00f3rdova E, Babio N, Valle-Hita C, Fern\u00e1ndez de la Puente M, Beltran-Arasa A, Cebri\u00e1n-Puig M, Fambuena-Perez V, Garc\u00eda-Serrano I, Murphy MM, Salas-Salvad\u00f3 J, Salas-Huetos A.
