As the saying goes, 'illness comes from the mouth', many diseases are caused by us eating unclean and harmful food. But many people are unaware that sexual dysfunction and infertility are also closely related to diet. So, in order to reduce the occurrence of infertility, it is necessary to strictly shut down the "mouth".
Firstly, it is necessary to control smoking and alcohol. Excessive smoking and alcohol can hinder male reproductive function by affecting epididymal function, interfering with sperm DNA, and other factors. Some foods also affect sperm production, such as celery, kale, water chestnut, cottonseed oil and other foods. Long term consumption will lead to a decline in the number and quality of sperm. Secondly, preference for food, lack of nutrition and overnutrition will also affect fertility. Amino acids, vitamins and trace elements in diet are closely related to the production, maturity and activity of sperm. If these substances are lacking, sperm production will be reduced and sperm motility will be reduced, leading to infertility. Once again, do not consume food contaminated with chemicals for a long time. Chemical agents widely used in the manufacturing of food packaging bags and detergents, as well as food contaminated with chemical herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, or heavy metals such as copper, manganese, aluminum, cadmium, and lead, may affect the generation and development of sperm, leading to infertility. In addition, it is also important to avoid excessive consumption of seafood. With the increasing severity of environmental pollution, the mercury content of seafood has also been increasing in recent years. Excessive consumption of seafood can cause harmful substances to accumulate in the body for a long time, which not only affects the activity and quantity of sperm, but also damages the body.
After understanding the above knowledge, in daily life, we should be good gatekeepers of our mouths. Eat less or avoid foods that are not conducive to reproductive health; Correct the habit of overeating, maintain a balanced diet, and ensure sufficient intake of vitamins and trace elements. It is recommended that men eat more foods rich in lycopene, such as tomatoes and watermelons, as well as cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and white radish, and take an appropriate amount of lean meat and eggs every day.
Male friends should also pay attention not to overnutrition, because too much nutrition often leads to obesity, especially in adolescence. Fat deposition will make the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland fatty, affect the function of the pituitary gland, reduce male hormone release, shrink testicles, and stunt penis, which may lead to infertility in adulthood.
