Experts point out that kitchen fumes contain 74 chemicals that can cause cell mutations, thereby affecting male fertility and becoming new evidence of a "family killer". The researchers found that the mutation rate of cell chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster fed with the condensed oil in the kitchen hood oil cup was 0.54%, and 2.8% of Drosophila melanogaster was sterile, indicating that its reproductive system was significantly damaged.
Therefore, experts suggest that male friends avoid cooking as much as possible and avoid inhaling too much cooking fumes, which can lead to male infertility. To prevent the occurrence of male infertility, in addition to reducing cooking, it is also important to wear less tight jeans, take less hot baths or saunas, etc., to avoid affecting sperm quality and leading to male infertility. Therefore, men who go to the kitchen may become invisible killers of male impotence or even infertility.
What other infertility factors do we often overlook?
Often wear tight jeans
According to clinical observations, under normal circumstances, the temperature of male testicles changes with body temperature, generally 3 ℃ to 4 ℃ lower than body temperature. Due to the thick material of tight jeans, they have poor breathability and heat dissipation when worn on the body, which can easily cause the temperature of the testicles to be close to the human body temperature and damage the space for sperm survival. In addition, jeans are relatively tight and can compress male reproductive organs when worn, affecting normal testicular development.
Frequently ride racing cars
Due to the special design of racing cars, the handlebars are slightly lower than the seats, causing people to tilt their center of gravity forward and increase the curvature of their waist, causing the testicles and prostate gland to tightly adhere to the seat cushion. When these two parts of men are squeezed for a long time, ischemia, edema and inflammation will occur, which will affect the production of sperm and the normal secretion of prostatic fluid and semen, and will easily lead to infertility. Therefore, young men should not ride racing cars for long periods of time. These types of sports should not last for more than an hour every day, and they should also wear cotton pads to prevent long-term compression of the testicles and prostate gland.
Frequent zinc deficiency and selenium deficiency diet
Trace element zinc can promote sperm motility, prevent premature disintegration of sperm, and facilitate binding with eggs, indicating that zinc has a significant impact on fertility. Selenium is also an essential trace element in the human body, almost entirely derived from food. Therefore, young men should not be partial eaters and should pay attention to eating foods rich in zinc and selenium, such as fish, oysters, liver, soybeans, brown rice, etc.
Frequent bathing with hot water
Under normal circumstances, a constant temperature environment of 34 ℃ to 35 ℃ is most suitable for the normal development of sperm. People who like to bathe at temperatures beyond this range often have hidden "killing opportunities". For those who enjoy taking saunas, the room temperature can reach as high as 70 ℃ to 80 ℃, which can easily damage the growth environment of sperm or cause excessive "dead sperm" and lead to infertility. Therefore, young men should be cautious when taking a sauna, and the water temperature should also be controlled around 34 ℃ when taking a bath on weekdays. They should not break the normal growth environment of sperm.
