“…However, such an association of better sperm parameters with dietary pattern was not found in various other studies ( 34 , 57 , 58 ). Some studies have reported that nutritional factors do not affect live birth rate, while others show data on improving sperm parameters.…”

The effects of diet and nutritional habits on reproductive cells can be categorized in a variety of ways. In this review, the literature is divided, based on the dietary consumption effects on oocytes and sperm. Topics on dietary patterns and the intrauterine effect of maternal nutrition are covered. In general fruits, vegetables, whole greens, fish, legumes, and also dietary sources containing unsaturated fats can improve reproductive germ cell quality. In epidemiological studies, the food intake frequency questionnaire is one of the most common methods to assess diet. Due to methodological heterogeneity in dietary assessment and inadequacy in the measurement of dietary intake in the questionnaires used, several unreliable results may be reported. Thus, the quality of evidence needs to be improved, since nutritional diets may not be so simply objective and they are inadequate to explain obvious underlining mechanisms. In addition, various compounds that may be ingested can affect molecular mechanisms, influenced by other external factors (drugs, pesticides, smoking, alcohol) and changes in human nutritional parameters. Artificial Intelligence has recently gained widespread interest and may have a role in accurate analysis of dietary patterns for optimal nutritional benefit. Therefore, future prospective randomized studies and objective measurements, consisting of molecular level analysis of the impact on cells and clear-cut methods are needed for accurate assessment of the effect of dietary habits on reproductive treatment.

“…2 Fertility is influenced by a myriad of factors, including environment, diet, and human behavior. Diet is one of the least studied variables in infertility treatment outcomes and is the primary focus of this study by Salas-Huetos et al 1 Salas-Huetos et al 1 describe 8 dietary patterns consumed in the preconception period, assessed at baseline prior to initiation of assisted reproductive technologies (ART): (1) the Trichopoulou Mediterranean diet, (2) an alternate Mediterranean diet, (3) the Panagiotakos Mediterranean diet, (4) the Healthy Eating Index, (5) an alternate Healthy Eating Index, (6) the American Heart Association index, (7) the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension index, and (8) a plant-based diet. These diet plans are specifically designed for the prevention of cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions.…”

“…Dietary patterns, specific foods, and their nutrient components have been reported as essential factors for proper sperm function and male fertility [ 48 ]. The adherence to a healthy diet [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ], including the consumption of fruits and vegetables, nuts, fish, seafood, and whole-grain cereals, while avoiding excessive intake of processed high-fat products, alcoholic beverages, caffeine, and sugary drinks [ 49 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 ] have been positively associated with sperm quality ( Figure 3 ).…”

Nuts have formed part of human diets throughout the ages. In recent decades, research has shown they are key foods in dietary patterns associated with lower chronic disease risk. The current state of climate change, however, has introduced an imperative to review the impact of dietary patterns on the environment with a shift to plant-based diets. Nuts emerge as a significant source of protein in plant-based diets and are a minimally processed and sustainable food. Research in this area is evolving to drive better production methods in varying climate conditions. Nevertheless, nut consumption remains an important contributor to human health. The mechanisms of action can be explained in terms of the nutrients they deliver. Studies of nut consumption have linked components such as monounsaturated fatty acids, plant omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and plant sterols to improved lipoprotein profiles, lower blood pressure, and reduced cardiovascular disease risk. Preliminary research also indicates possible beneficial effects of nut consumption on reproductive health. In any case, the ultimate effects of foods on health are the results of multiple interactive factors, so where nuts fit within dietary patterns is a significant consideration for research translation. This has implications for research methodologies, including categorization within food groups and inclusion in Healthy Dietary Indices. The aim of this narrative review is to outline new focal points for investigation that examine the environmental and some novel human health impacts of nut consumption and discuss future directions for research.
