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.
