At least two portions of full-fat dairy products like cheese and whole milk, per day, can hijack sperm motility, especially in young males.

Research suggests that men who regularly eat processed meat carry 23 per cent less sperms than those who consume it in moderate quantities or not at all. Processed meat contains hormonal residues that disturb the reproductive ecosystem.
