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. They studied male fruit flies and the impact of their diet on the offspring as fruit flies share 60 percent of genes with humans. The results showed that offspring were less likely to survive if their fathers consumed a poor diet of high carbohydrates and low protein.
