According to statistics from foreign experts, over 10% of couples may not be able to have their own children due to male infertility. It can be seen that male infertility has had a significant impact on life. In fact, in my opinion, male infertility is mostly due to men not paying attention to some details in life. Below, I have summarized five suggestions that can help men prevent infertility.
Five Suggestions for Effectively Preventing Male Infertility
1. Improve nutritional status and physical fitness
Only with good nutritional status can the body produce sufficient numbers, vitality, and normal and robust sperm. If malnutrition occurs, the sperm produced may be low in quantity, poor in vitality, and have a high deformity rate. If the nutrition is poor, it may also lead to infertility. The key to obtaining good nutrition lies in not being picky, not partial to food, eating both delicacies, and combining meat and vegetables. If there is a strong body, the sperm can also carry healthy and strong genetic genes, otherwise it may pass on the weak and disease-prone genes to the next generation.
2. Pay attention to adjusting dietary structure and improving dietary quality
To ensure sufficient "raw materials" for sperm production: (1) proteins; The main component of sperm is protein, so to create high-quality sperm, it is necessary to choose high-quality protein, such as various lean meat, fish, shrimp, poultry eggs, and other foods rich in arginine, which are beneficial for sperm production. Arginine is a necessary component for sperm formation, and supplementing arginine from food is beneficial for sperm production. (2) Vitamins; Vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D, etc. are raw materials for the production of sperm and semen. They can promote sperm production, regulate gonadal function, enhance sperm motility, protect the anti infective ability of the accessory gonads, and maintain the whole metabolic process of sperm. These vitamins are widely present in animal livers, vegetable oils, green leafy vegetables, and fresh fruits. If necessary, vitamin pills can be directly supplemented. (3) Trace elements; Various minerals and trace elements are also beneficial for spermatogenesis, especially when supplementing zinc and selenium in a timely manner. Zinc is an essential substance for sperm production and can be taken in conjunction with New Rare Earth. (4) Animal viscera; For example, pig kidney, chicken liver, eggs, Chinese medicine Ziheche and other foods are rich in sex hormones and cholesterol and lecithin required for hormone synthesis, which can promote the division and maturation of spermatogonium.
3. Not addicted to smoking and alcohol
Smoking is the great enemy of eugenics. Some men's bodies are quite sensitive to the toxins in cigarettes, especially the germ cell in the testes. Nicotine in tobacco has the effect of reducing sex hormone secretion and killing sperm. Those who smoke more than 30 cigarettes a day have a sperm survival rate of only 49%, indicating that long-term heavy smoking is one of the important factors leading to infertility. Alcohol not only reduces reproductive function and inhibits sperm formation, but also causes about 7% of sperm to develop poorly or lose vitality, causing chromosomal abnormalities in sperm, and ultimately leading to fetal malformations or developmental disorders.
4. Pay attention to correcting bad habits in daily life
Frequent bathing in hot water can cause testicular spermatogenesis dysfunction. Wearing tight pants (such as jeans), long-distance cycling, etc. can hinder sperm production, reduce sperm motility, and inevitably lead to infertility. If they don't stay up late, some people often stay up late, surf the Internet, play cards, and work. They are exhausted and sperm motility is greatly reduced.
5. Avoiding the influence of harmful substances
During the production and maturation of sperm in the testes, they are also affected by other factors such as radiation, harmful chemicals (including pesticides, fertilizers, detergents, paints, etc.), and certain drugs, resulting in qualitative changes. Therefore, men in the reproductive period should try to avoid long-term exposure to such harmful substances in large quantities and avoid indiscriminate drug abuse.
