Paper Monitor has noticed references to certain foods with health benefits. People who wish to keep this summer's sporting spirit going strong will certainly want to cash in on healthy goodness.

Potential dads may wish to consider that according to the Daily Mail Walnuts . Not just fertility, sperm count. Again Paper Monitor is looking at the science more deeply and notes that the nuts are a source of polyunsaturated fats and are rich in omega 3 and omega 6 - as is found in oily fish.

Paper Monitor, therefore, suggests that those already eating lots of fish might want to check whether adding a daily dose of walnuts, might increase the sperm count even more. Paper Monitor has not scientifically verified this.

New research has suggested regular consumption of egg yolks accelerates atherosclerosis, an effect which is more often linked to smoking cigarettes. Also known as coronary artery disease, it is a disorder of the arteries where plaques, aggravated by cholesterol, form on the inner arterial wall.

Paper Monitor notes the average age of participants in this study is 61.5. Scientists also note that more research should be done and only suggest regular consumption of egg yolk is avoided by those already at risk of cardiovascular disease.

Sometimes Paper Monitor just wonders if sticking to a crisp sandwich isn't just the simplest option.
