Among the diets, tobacco and alcohol have the greatest impact on male reproductive function. Compared with non-smokers and non-drinkers, the number of sperm in long-term smokers and excessive drinkers is significantly lower, and the abnormal rate of sperm morphology is also significantly higher. Therefore, in the first few months of pregnancy, expectant fathers should completely quit smoking and alcohol to ensure successful pregnancy and the health of their children.
However, quitting smoking and drinking is usually the truth that everyone knows, and there are some foods that many people have never thought of. For example, raw cottonseed oil, tripterygium wilfordii (Chinese herbal medicine), and compound decoction of radix scrophulariae, asparagus, water stone, phellodendron amurense, radix scrophulariae will affect the spermatogenic function and reduce sperm vitality. People think that healthy and nutritious legumes are rich in phytoestrogens. Excessive consumption may cause endocrine disorders in the body and may reduce the number and vitality of sperm. For men with fertility requirements, it is necessary to eat appropriate amount of bean food.
Too much barbecue and fried food hurts "essence"
Men who like to eat barbecue should pay attention to the fact that the starchy foods in barbecue and fried contain the carcinogenic poison acrylamide, which can lead to male oligospermia and weak sperm. In addition, heavy metal cadmium and pesticide residues are toxic to sperm.
Some studies have found that the decrease of sperm and vitality in oligozoospermia patients is related to the lack of zinc, a trace element. Therefore, eating more zinc rich foods such as oysters, shrimp skin, animal liver, laver, sesame, peanuts, beans, etc. can ensure that the "essence" is full of energy.
