Are you suffering from fertility problems? Just make sure you have your morning tea outside in the sunshine with your sleeves rolled up, for a new study has found a boost of Vitamin D daily can improve men's fertility.
Researchers have based their findings on an experiment which has found that almost a third of men who're experiencing
fertility problems have low levels of Vitamin D, the Daily Mail reported.
"The results show lifestyle changes can be beneficial. The vitamin D deficiency could have been caused by worries
about skin cancer and by men trying to avoid too much exposure to sunshine," said lead researcher Anne Clark.
According to the Australian researchers, other basic lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, losing weight, and reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, would also help.
In their study, 105 men agreed to the changes, and to take multivitamins and antioxidants for two to three months.
Afterwards, tests revealed "an improvement in the shape of the sperm, which can enhance conception", said Clark.
In fact, 31 of the men went on to achieve a pregnancy with their partners.
"The results clearly show that lifestyle changes and dietary supplements can be beneficial for the conception of a healthy on-going pregnancy," Clark was quoted by the British newspaper as saying.
