The study was conducted on 83 individuals who were following a western diet (poor in fruit and vegetables and rich in animal fats).

The participants were divided into two groups: one group continued to follow their normal western diet over 14 weeks while the other complemented their diet with a daily intake of 60 grams of walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds.

At the end of the study period, each individual completed an internationally validated questionnaire containing 15 questions on sexual function.

The findings showed that adding walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds to an unhealthy western diet can improve sexual desire and orgasm quality.
