fertility

You can imagine this kind of conversation: Dr A: Nutrition improves body function. Omega-3s are good… Dr B: I doubt it but I have heard rumors; something about reducing risk of heart disease. Dr A: Not just that, all body function. Even sexual performance and fertility. Dr B: How can that be? Dr A: Sexual performance is part of body function… Dr B: The dirty stuff? That’s not physiology! I despair sometimes of my colleagues. Don’t they get it? Physiology is all of body function: everything. Penises, ovaries, testicles and vulva! Now they have made a wonderful discovery: if you eat right, you can be more fertile! It’s been in my health books since 1985 but it’s still considered ludicrous. Pre-conceptual nutrition is vital for healthy reproduction. Vets know this. Animals in poor shape are never sent to stud. But humans?
