Mr. Gao, who is 34 years old, has been married for three years. In order to have a healthy baby, he always has a "pig waist" on the dining table every week. A few days ago, when he was gathering with friends, he ordered a lot of grilled kidneys and chicken kidneys. Unexpectedly, my friend reminded me to be careful that eating too much can lead to infertility.
After hearing this, Mr. Gao was very worried and went to the hospital for a check-up the next day, but it was found that he had "oligospermia". Mr. Gao suspects that his low sperm count is directly related to frequent consumption of animal kidneys.
It is unscientific for some people to eat animal viscera with the mindset of "what they eat to make up for what they eat". Especially for patients with kidney disease, it is not advisable to eat more animal kidneys, as patients with renal insufficiency need to limit their nutritional intake. Animal kidneys have high cholesterol levels, and excessive consumption may increase the burden on the kidneys, leading to further deterioration of kidney function. In addition, the fat content of animal organs is also relatively high, and animal organs are easily contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms and parasites. If not cooked thoroughly, it will increase the chances of human infection.
It is recommended to eat animal offal at most once or twice a week, and the amount consumed should not exceed 50 grams each time. When eating animal offal, it is best to mix it with more coarse grains and vegetables to supplement dietary fiber.
