#Spermquality

A growing body of research suggests that diets heavy in ultra-processed foods may be linked to poorer sperm quality in men. In a recent cross-sectional study of hundreds of healthy young men, researchers found that higher consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with lower total sperm count, lower sperm concentration, and reduced overall sperm motility. While the findings do not prove that ultra-processed foods cause declines in fertility, they add to a growing concern that what we eat could influence reproductive health, especially in societies undergoing rapid dietary changes.
