Nuts are good for your nuts

TARRAGONA, Spain —
For men, a healthy lifestyle isn’t just good for their wellbeing but can also impact their ability to have children. Proper diet can affect the quality of a man’s sperm, for better or worse. Researchers in Spain say adding nuts to the mix can play a key role in keeping men fertile.

A team from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili says consuming a mixture of tree nuts — like almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts — can have a profound affect on sperm DNA methylation. This process refers to the natural changes your DNA goes through which don’t actually alter human DNA sequences. DNA methylation frequently prevents certain genes from expressing themselves. This, for example, may stop tumor-causing genes from turning themselves on and causing cancer.


I really hate almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts.......might as well eat broccoli.

I've heard stuff similar to that before.

Already done my work to maintain the population, but I've included pistachios and walnuts in my diet for years specifically because they are good for your heart, blood vessels and inflammation issues.

I've heard people really into all things keto rave about macadamia nuts, then talk shit about almonds and cashews. Pistachios, walnuts and macadamia nuts seem to be the winning combo.

For this reason alone I will not eat nuts anymore and just play the field. :p

Love almonds, and walnuts. I eat about 3-4oz of almonds a day. But I'm "fixed" so don't matter.
