Abstract
Eating a varied and healthful diet may be an essential aspect of sustaining
good overall health. However, specific vitamins and food groups may have a
more substantial impact on reproductive health than others. A male’s diet may
affect his fertility. Consuming a diet high in carbs, fiber, folate, and
lycopene, as well as fruits and vegetables, is linked to enhanced sperm quality.
Lower protein and fat intake were found to be more advantageous to fertility.
The supplementation with omega-3 leads in seminal human fluids to
greater antioxidant activity, improved sperm count, sperm motility, and
morphology. A large percentage of infertile men may benefit from
administering omega-3 fatty acids to idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermia.
Consumption of royal jelly (RJ) may improve genital parameters,
particularly Sperm count and motility, and the microscopic structure of the testis
by promoting the growth of mature and active cells.
Diets rich in processed meat, soy foods, potatoes, full-fat dairy, total
dairy products, cheese, coffee, alcohol, sugar-sweetened beverages, and sweets
have been detrimentally associated with the quality of semen.
The male reproductive cells respond to date palm pollen, which is
characterized by a high content of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein; hence,
pollen should be highlighted as an ideal natural supplement containing energy
and possessing good nutritional value.
The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of food on male fertility in
a sample of Egyptian men. This cross-section study was conducted on 257 married men aged from 20-50 years who have a regular sexual relation and
eating different types of food.
The results of the current study showed that:
§ Urban residents in the current study were 70.4% of the total participants,
and there was no statistically significant difference in semen analysis in
relation to residence.
§ There was no statistically significant difference in semen analysis in
relation to education in the recruited participants.
§ There was no statistically significant difference in semen analysis in
relation to age and weight in the recruited participants.
§ There was no statistically significant difference found in the semen
analysis regarding erectile dysfunction, varicocele, DM, mumps and
hypertension among the recruited participants.
§ There was no statistical significance difference in semen analysis in
relation to smoking in recruited participants.
§ Date palm and RJ usage as a natural fertility supplement was statistically
significantly higher in participants with normal semen analysis in the
recruited participants.
§ There was not a statistically significant association between the
consumption of lepidium sativum, nigella sativa, mountain sidr honey,
ginseng, maca roots, and having a normal semen analysis.
§ Normal semen analysis was statistically significant higher in participants
who consumed eggs, banana, garlic, oily fish, tomato.
§ There was no statistically significant association between dark chocolate
consumption as food known culturally increase fertility and semen
analysis.
