New research has found that maintaining a healthy weight could help boost the quality of a man’s sperm.

Carried out by a team at the Rovira i Virgili University in Spain, along with researchers from the University of Utah in the United States, the Ahvaz Jundishapur University in Iran, and the National University of Córdoba in Argentina, the study looked at 88 existing articles that investigated how weight – low weight, normal weight, overweight and obese – could affect a man’s sperm quality.
