Sperm quality or: you are what you eat

On the other side of the gender divide a positive link between greater adherence to the Mediterranean Diet, was significantly associated with higher sperm concentration, total sperm count and sperm motility (1).


So what is the take home from this? Once again it is shown we are all what we eat and that simple lifestyle changes / choices may indeed prove to be that beneficial percentage we are seeking, as outlined in Normozoospermic...theres a word...
