Too much or not enough: lifestyle modifications to optimize male fertility

Abstract

This month's Views and Reviews examines the current literature on modifiable factors that men can do to optimize reproductive health. Gaskins et al. provide an overview of dietary factors, including specific foods, diets, and nutrients associated with male fertility. Service et al. then provided an update on body mass index, weight loss, and male reproduction. Garabed et al. examine the data behind medications using the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System. Mínguez-Alarcón et al. reviewed data on chemical exposures and male fertility. Overall, the goal of the section is to allow providers with up-to-date evidence to counsel our patients on factors they can seek or avoid.
