Today, due to various reasons, while the quality of sperm continues to decrease in men, obesity continues to increase at the same time. Scientists from the University of Copenhagen carried out a study that brings these two negative situations together and can offer a solution to both at the same time.
Research by scientists revealed that men can improve their sperm quality by losing weight and continuing to maintain an ideal weight. The result has been proven in clinical studies in which men participated. A total of 56 obese men aged between 18 and 65 participated in the study.
Sperm count doubled in one year:
In the study, which included men with a body mass index between 32 and 43, the men lost an average of 16.5 kilograms of weight. As a result, eight weeks after weight loss, sperm concentration increased by 50% and sperm count increased by 40%. At the end of 52 weeks, it was observed that the increased sperm quality continued in men who kept the weight they lost. At the end of 52 weeks, the sperm count doubled.
The relationship between sperm quality and obesity has actually been demonstrated by other studies in the past. However, it was also stated that weight loss improves sperm quality. However, the missing point of the studies was that the number of participants was low and the weight lost was very low. So the latest research has brought a much clearer conclusion to this issue.
