2019 年一月最近的研究表明，在你的饮食中添加一些坚果，包括杏仁，可以提高精子质量，并支持男性生育能力。

研究表明，杏仁和其他树坚果是帮助支持男性生育能力的最佳坚果类型。研究人员发现每天吃60克或两份坚果，包括杏仁，“显着改善”精子总数和精子的活力，运动和形态。精子活力是指精子细胞游泳的能力;精子形态是指精子的大小和形状。该研究以15克杏仁，15克榛子和30克核桃混合在一起为基础，显示出与先前仅核桃研究相似的精子质量结果，但精子数量增加了16％。

坚果食用组中的精子DNA断裂也较少，表明在坚果食者的精子中遗传完整性得到了更好的保护。

这很重要，因为当精子DNA过于碎片化时，生育能力将会下降或增加流产风险。

研究人员得出结论：“在西式饮食中加入坚果可显着提高精子总数和精子的活力，运动性和形态。”

该研究报告于2018年欧洲人类生殖与胚胎学会会议上发表。

Fertility: Eating NUTS boosts sperm quality and supports fertility, according to research

 Recent research has shown adding a mix of certain nuts in your diet, including almonds, can boost sperm quality and support male fertility.

The study, which was funded by the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council, revealed that almonds, along with other tree nuts, are the best types of nuts to help support male fertility. The researchers found eating 60 grams or two portions of nuts daily, including almonds, “significantly improves” total sperm count and the vitality, motility and morphology of the sperm. Sperm motility refers to the sperm cells’ ability to swim; sperm morphology refers to the size and shape of sperm. The study, based on a 15g portion of almonds, a 15g portion of hazelnuts and a 30g portion of walnuts mixed together, showed similar sperm quality results as previous walnuts-only research, but with a 16 per cent increase in sperm count.

Those in the nut-eating group also had less sperm DNA fragmentation, showing that genetic integrity was better preserved in the sperm of nut-eaters.

This is important as when sperm DNA is too fragmented, fertility declines or miscarriage risk is higher.

“The inclusion of nuts in a Western-style diet significantly improves the total sperm count and the vitality, motility, and morphology of the sperm,” the researchers concluded.

“These findings could be partly explained by a reduction in the sperm DNA fragmentation.”

The study was presented at the 2018 European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology meeting.
