There are many factors that can cause male infertility. Some may be caused by medication, some may be caused by infection or family history, and some may also be caused by some poor lifestyle habits that affect the quality of sperm. Let's take a look at five ways to prevent male infertility.
1. Increase sleep time
Sleep can be said to be an effective way to prevent any disease, whether it's obesity or depression. The same is true for male infertility. Research has found that men who lack sleep or suffer from sleep disorders are lower or smaller in sperm count, testosterone levels, and testicular volume than men who sleep more.
Don't put your laptop on your lap
In this era of information explosion, people are increasingly dependent on information, which also means that people often take laptops or mobile phones with them. This also leads to an increasing risk of male infertility. A research team from Argentina placed a laptop connected to a WiFi on the experimenter's knee for several hours and found that the radiation emitted by the laptop's WiFi can damage sperm DNA and reduce sperm vitality.
3. Wear radiation resistant boxer shorts
If you want to ignore the risks posed by radiation from computers or mobile phones, it is best for men to wear radiation resistant boxer shorts. The boxers cost about $49, but wearing them can protect male reproductive organs from radiation hazards. Independent laboratories certified by the Federal Communications Commission have also confirmed that radiation resistant boxer shorts can isolate radiation by 99.9%, protecting the quality, quantity, and vitality of sperm.
4. Eat more carrots and walnuts
The diet of men is also crucial for the quality of their sperm. Two recent studies have found that eating carrots and walnuts can greatly improve the quality of men's sperm. In the first study conducted by the University of California, men consuming 75 grams of walnuts per day can comprehensively improve sperm quality - one of which is linolenic acid, in which the natural plant Omega 3 plays an important role. Another study found that eating yellow and orange vegetables can greatly improve sperm quality, with the most significant effect being carrots.
5. Do not eat bacon
Eating bacon has the opposite effect compared to eating carrots and walnuts. SART has conducted research on the impact of eating red meat on male fertility, and found that eating bacon can reduce sperm count. Researchers at Harvard University found that men who consumed half or more portions of processed meat, red meat, white meat, poultry, or fish per day had 1.7% less normal sperm than men who consumed less than half a portion. Men who consumed too much meat had 5.5% less normal sperm, while men who consumed less meat had 7.2% less normal sperm.
