DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

Study links organic Mediterranean diet to improved male fertility

Researchers in Italy have found that a low-carbohydrate organic Mediterranean diet significantly enhances male fertility by increasing testosterone levels and reducing sperm DNA fragmentation, offering new dietary guidelines for improving male reproductive health.
