Walnuts are one of the useful
foods which men should take on their diet because it can improve the semen
parameters. After taking continuously walnuts for 12 weeks, it will show better
sperm quality, motility compared to those men who don’t have the habit of
taking walnuts in their diet. Generally walnuts boost serum omega-6 and omega-3
fatty acid which is stated by the researchers.
The polyunsaturated fatty acids
are found in flax seed, fish and fish oil and even in tree nuts and that too in
huge amount. But still it is not found in any studies about the difference in male
infertility in the polyunsaturated fatty acid volume which is between fertile
and infertile participants. Although, the nuts and walnuts contains an
alpha-linolenic acid which is a natural source of omega-3 compared to omega-6
fatty acids.
To find out whether walnuts actually improves semen quality or not, they have tested around 117 men who have age from 21 to 35. This test was done without knowing infertility history of those 117 men. 75 grams of whole shelled walnuts were added to their daily diet or they can continue to eat their usual eating habits by avoiding tree nut. When the test is over then both the groups were found almost the same age, education level, race, weight of body, body mass index and physical activity levels. The 12 weeks study has also not shown any such changes in them like in physical activity, BMI or in body weight in both the groups.

After this study, the sperm
parameters has quite improved the group that has consumed walnuts and provides
better results in sperm quality, motility and morphology. Among both the group,
serum fatty acid profiles were similar and those participants who have taken
walnuts have shown significant increase in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in between
12 weeks. Only alpha-linolenic acid was increased in Omega-3. Leaving the serum
fatty acids, no other fatty acid has shown any response in both the groups. No changes
were measured except few amount of decrease in sex and that too win the walnut
group and sperm missing a sex chromosome.
