Walnuts, a nut known for its omega-3 content, may be just what the doctor ordered for men who want to improve their fertility. Eating just 2.5 oz. (75 g) of walnuts a day for 12 weeks helped men improve their sperms’ quality, motility and morphology. The sperm also had fewer chromosome abnormalities. See the Eating Expectantly Cookbook for a walnut recipe.
