A man’s fertility depends to a great extent on his overall health and nutrition. Research published in Human Reproduction in 2012 showed that a poor diet with high intake of red and processed meat, refined grains, pizza, energy drinks, and sweets decreases male fertility. A healthier, whole foods diet with high intake of fish, chicken, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains was associated with increased fertility in men.

Other studies show deficiencies of vitamins C and E, and folic acid are linked to male infertility. Minerals like zinc impact a man’s fertility; low zinc levels can lower sperm count and create sperm abnormalities. Low levels of protective antioxidants from fresh fruits and vegetables are another problem because sperm are very sensitive to oxidative damage. It’s clear proper nutrition plays a vital role in male reproductive health.
