Today's Amazing Fact:
More Fruits, More Kids
Whao! It is taught provoking and amazing that
increased consumption of fruits and vegetables will cure infertility related to
poor mobility of sperm as shown from a careful research. What a wonder gift
from nature.
Men believing for increased
fertility may want to eat more fruits and veggies now as ascertained by a
recent research.The more fruits and veggies a man
consumed, the less sluggish his sperm, researchers reported at a meeting of the
American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
In a careful research, forty-eight infertile
men and 10 fertile men who had fathered children in the last year completed
questionnaires about their diets. Results showed that 83 percent of the
infertile men had a low intake of fruits and veggies, defined as fewer than
five servings a day, compared with 40 percent of the fertile men.And overall, men who ate the fewest
fruits and veggies had the lowest sperm motility.
“We think that sperm quality is
affected by dietary antioxidant intake,” said study author Dr. Vivian Lewis, a professor of obstetrics
and gynecology at the University of Rochester in Rochester, N.Y. Antioxidants, like those found in
fruits and vegetables, may help prevent damage to sperm that causes them to
become sluggish and lose the ability to fertilize an egg, she said.
In particular, the antioxidants
glutathione and cryptoxanthin, which are prevalent in brightly colored produce
such as leafy greens, tomatoes, peppers and oranges, were associated with
strong, healthy sperm, Lewis said. She recommended that men hoping to
father children eat “a variety of fruits and vegetables, at least five servings
a day.”
Dr. Rebecca Sokol, a professor of
obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Southern California in Los
Angeles, who was not affiliated with the study, said it’s prudent for men
trying to impregnate their partners to improve their diets. It could
potentially help their sperm, and it certainly helps their overall health, she
said.
Let this testimony be yours, imbibe
the culture of fruits and vegetable serving in your daily diets.
