According to the study, it also improved their swimmers’ movement, shape and energy levels, all factors which increase the odds of becoming a father.
Nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, which are known to benefit sperm.
The findings come from tests by Spanish researchers on 119 healthy young men.
They ate a Western diet but half were given a 60g mix of almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts. After 14 weeks, the nut group had a 16 per cent higher sperm count.
Its swimming ability was six per cent better and vitality also improved by four per cent.
Speaking about it, Dr Albert Salas-Huetos, of the University Rovira Virgili, told a fertility conference in Barcelona, “The findings support a beneficial role for nut consumption in sperm quality.”
The study adds to evidence that eating healthily with lots of fruit and veg can improve fertility.
