Dear men, if you are planning for a baby, include fish, meat, vegetables and fruits in your diet daily as your diet before conception can impact newborn's health, claims a recent study. Researchers from the University of Cincinnati in Ohio, U.S. found that a low carbohydrate and high protein diet by the father will help the child's healthier once they are born.
