How do men do good sperm? Obese men not only affect the development of the testes and genitalia, but also cause a corresponding increase in estrogen levels in the body, hindering sperm production and affecting sperm quality.
The study also found that the average concentration of sperm in smokers' semen was 25 million per milliliter, significantly lower than the concentration of 63 million per milliliter in non-smokers, and the sperm motility was also significantly reduced; Direct action of alcohol on the gonads will reduce the innate speed of testosterone, causing an increase in estrogen, not only leading to erectile dysfunction, but also affecting the innate speed of sperm.
In addition, long-term emotional instability can affect the functions of the nervous system and endocrine system, leading to dysfunction of testicular spermatogenesis and resulting in oligospermia. So, maintaining a good mood is also necessary to prevent oligospermia. The World Health Organization stipulates that male sperm should not be less than 20 million per milliliter, and if it is less than 20 million, it is classified as oligospermia, which can greatly affect fertility.
There are many factors that lead to low sperm quality, in addition to congenital inheritance, drug or disease damage, poor lifestyle habits are also an important reason. So, it is important to develop good dietary habits in daily life.
First of all, properly increase the intake of some foods rich in sex hormones, such as sheep kidney, pig kidney and chicken liver, which can promote the division and maturation of spermatogonium and is very beneficial to spermatogenesis. High quality protein is the main raw material for forming semen, and can be eaten in protein rich foods such as lean meat, chicken and duck, eggs, fish and shrimp, and soy products.
Secondly, vitamins have functions such as providing raw materials for sperm, promoting sperm production, and protecting sexual organs from damage. Among them, vitamin E is most closely related to the reproductive system, which has multiple functions of preventing aging of sexual organs and enhancing sperm motility. Vitamin E is abundant in grains, wheat germ oil, cottonseed oil, green leafy vegetables, egg yolks, nuts, meat, and dairy products.
In addition, pay attention to the intake of trace elements, especially the element zinc. Because male semen itself contains a high concentration of zinc, long-term insufficient intake of zinc can lead to sparse sperm and testicular atrophy. Foods rich in zinc are mainly composed of shellfish, such as oysters and oysters, which can be eaten in moderation.
