Nuts are important to Men
Read these fabulous studies:
Eating around two handfuls of walnuts a day improves sperm health in young men, a study in the journal Biology of Reproduction suggests.
Sperm shape, movement and vitality improved in men who added walnuts to their diet over 12 weeks.
The fatty acids found in these nuts are thought to have helped sperm development. It is not known if this would help improve male fertility.
About one in six couples are infertile, with 40% of these due to a male factor.
Dr Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield said: “It would be relatively easy to poke fun at studies like this, but there is increasing evidence to show that aspects of a man’s diet can affect the number and quality of sperm produced by his testicles.”
Also:
Baer and his colleagues compared the feces (poop, if you prefer) of people eating a controlled diet with almonds to ones who were eating a diet without any nuts. What they found was that “when people are consuming nuts, the amount of fat in the feces goes up,” Bear says. “And that suggests that we’re not absorbing all the fat or calories that’s in the nut.”
In essence, the fat in the feces shows there’s a disconnect between the gross energy found in an almond and the energy our bodies actually absorb.
Oh and Aces High is fun.
