"Junk Food" Reduced Sperm Quality

"Junk Food" Reduced Sperm Quality | Many Research show variety of negative effect of junk food consumption for health. Even, the new researcher said: junk food consumption also have related to Sperm quantity at man.

In a small study reported in the journal Human Reproduction, The expert research as many as 99 man that come to fertility clinic in USA. The man with high fat consumption really small in sperm quality or number of sperm.

Research also found, high diet fatty acid omega-3, that much found in fish and vegetable oil, can help to increase of sperm quality.

The leader of researcher Prof. Jill Attaman, from harvard medical school, AS, said:

"The relationship between a both is quite big. These findings as well as a reason to encourage everyone to limit their consumption of saturated fats are associated with cardiovascular disease growth."

In the study, researchers divided the participants into three groups of men to see how much of their fat consumption. The results show, than those who ate less fat, fat man with the highest intake had 43 percent of the amount of sperm and lower sperm concentrations of 38 per cent lower. Sperm concentration is defined as the number of sperm per unit volume of cement.

Researchers emphasized that high-fat diet does not seem to interfere with the fertility of the male respondents in this research. In fact, no male sperm count below the WHO threshold set that is at least 39 million to 15 million per milliliter concentrations. Even in men who consumed the highest fat content (37 percent calories exceed normal limits), the number of sperm concentration reached 125 million with an average of 51 million per milliliter.

Dr Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, assess the research is still limited and needs to be studied further. "It's a relatively small study that showed no association between intake of saturated fat diet with semen quality," he said

Pacey pleaded not surprised by these findings and the future he hopes there will be further research to clarify the relationship between the two. "There are several ways to improve the quality of sperm for infertile men, among them: by eating healthy foods, quitting smoking and if you are overweight should try to lose weight in the normal range," he added.
