Obesity And Abnormal Sperm
In the 24th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, Dr. A Ghiyath Shayeb said that men with a higher body mass index (BMI) have lower volumes of seminal fluid and a higher proportion of abnormal sperm. If you want to be fertile and have babies, you should consider losing some weight, and maintain your body weight to normal BMI. Living a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise are needed to be in the normal BMI range.
Ticking Male’s Biological Clock
More evidence were found that men as well as women have ticking biological clocks that start to tick in mid-30s. A study done on 12,200 couples proved that the chance of a successful pregnancy falls when the man is over 35, and it is significantly lower if he is over 40. The researchers told in a health conference that it was due to the DNA damage in sperm.

Association between green vegetables & healthy sperm
Levels of folate in men’s diets is linked to chromosomal abnormalities in their sperm. Men who consumed high levels of Folate (water-soluble B vitamin that found in leafy green vegetables and fruit) and folic acid tended to have lower levels of abnormal sperm where a chromosome had been lost or gained. This abnormality is known as aneuploidy. The research is published on the European leading reproductive medicine journal, Human Reproduction.
