Proper eating of melon seeds for men is beneficial to the genitals
So do melon seeds really make men infertile? We often refer to melon seeds as sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds are the fruit of sunflowers, which can be eaten or used as oil. Sunflower seeds are rich in nutrients, with a fat content of up to about 50%, mainly unsaturated fat, and contain no cholesterol, with a linoleic acid content of up to 70%. These ingredients help lower the body's blood cholesterol level and protect cardiovascular health. Sunflower seeds also contain vitamin E. It is said that eating a handful of sunflower seeds every day can meet the daily vitamin E needs of the human body.
In addition, sunflower seeds are also rich in trace elements such as iron, zinc, potassium, and magnesium. Some people believe that zinc is related to male infertility. "Because when men lack zinc, the testicles and epididymides atrophy, which can cause male infertility in severe cases.". In 1977, the British Medical Journal reported that zinc can treat male infertility. After supplementing male infertility with zinc, it can be observed that patients' serum testosterone and sperm count increase. Sunflower seeds are rich in zinc, which can just supplement human needs.
More importantly, the protein in sunflower seeds contains arginine. Arginine is an essential ingredient in semen production. Therefore, for men in the reproductive period, consuming some sunflower seeds every day is very beneficial to their health.
However, sunflower seeds should not be eaten too much to avoid catching fire and causing sores on the tongue. It is best to peel with your hands when eating. "Because chewing with teeth can easily cause erosion of the tongue and corners of the mouth, it can also spit out a large amount of body fluid when spitting out the shell, resulting in dull taste, reduced appetite, and even stomach cramps.". Therefore, eating sunflower seeds should also be appropriate.
