Sperm Motility: Eating Nuts Regularly Can Improve Sperm Count/Motility.
Scientists found that Men who consumed about two handfuls of mixed almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts every day for 14 weeks improved their sperm count and had more viable “swimmers”. This research come at time of increase in low sperm count across the western world due to pollution, smoking and diet.



More evidence shows that a healthy diet could greatly increase the odds of conceiving said Researchers. 40-50% of infertility cases are attributed to men as about one in seven couples find it difficult to get a woman pregnant. Scientists randomly divided men of ages 18-35 numbering 119  into two groups. One group added 60 grams of nuts to their normal daily diet while the other made no changes to their diet

Those in the nut increase diet group improved sperm count by 14%, motility by 6%, vitality by 4% and morphology by 1%. These are the standards the World Health Organization gives as measurements of sperm quality and are associated with fertility in men. The study according to experts backed up other researches that showed that an omega-3, fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamin B folate rich diet improved fertility and nuts contain many of these nutrients and more. The study head Dr Albert Salas-Huetos of the Universitat Rovira I virgili in Spain said  “Evidence is accumulating in the literature that healthy lifestyle changes such as following a healthy dietary pattern might help conception,” ‘


However, researchers cautioned that the men used in the study were healthy and fertile so it was still not certain that the finding would apply to a larger population and also men with fertility issues. Professor of andrology at the University of Sheffield, Allan Pacey who did  not partake in  the research, said it was also a possibility that men in the nut group  made other positive changes to their lives that were not considered in the study.

Former consultant clinical embryologist at Guy’s Hospital in London, Dr Virginia Bolton said that the findings were “interesting academically” but it was not possible to say what effect this would have in terms of increasing the chances of pregnancy.
She also added that “meanwhile, we should all be encouraging  our patients to stop drinking alcohol, stop smoking, eat healthily, all of the standard things. until the answers to our questions come”. The findings of the research are being presented at the meeting of  the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology held in Bercelona

Latest: Coca-Cola Launches Its First Alcoholic Chu-hi Drink In Life.


Just of recent the well-known beverage company Coca-Cola just launched its first alcoholic drink in the history of man. The product was a canned liquor product which was launched in Japan. Coca-Cola aims at making a version of “Chu-Hi” which is a canned sparkling flavoured drink that in it includes a local Japanese spirit which is called Shochu.



Furthermore, according to the president of Coca-Cola’s Japan business unit, in the person of  Jorge Garduno, in a post on the company’s website, Jorge Garduno described the new Coca-Cola product as "unique" and one of its kind in the company’s 125-year history. He said, and I quote “This is unique in our history. Coca-Cola has always focused entirely on non-alcoholic beverages, and this is a modest experiment for a specific slice of our market,” he said with full enthusiasm.



As we all know, Japan as a country is a fiercely competitive market, with Coca-Cola launching about 100 products a year in the country. “Experimentation is almost like a day-to-day ritual here(Japan). You cannot fall behind the rapid product cycle in Japan,” Mr Garduno rightly said. However, the 350ml-can Coca-Cola version of the Chu-Hi drink contains three, five and seven percent alcohol. They will be available in Japan in the southern Kyushu region any moment from now.



The bad news is that Coca-Cola has said there are no further plans to bring the new drinks to markets outside Japan, i.e. this product will only exist in Japan alone.
