Everyone's health is closely related to their daily living habits. Many people are forced to engage in bad behaviors due to work or have developed bad habits that cannot be changed. At this time, your health is very dangerous. What habits can lead to male infertility?
1. First, fertility is closely related to nutritional factors, and undernutrition or excess nutrition can lead to male infertility. Inappropriate nutrition is one of the causes of male infertility.
2. During malnutrition, vitamin A, B, C, E, and trace elements such as zinc, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and selenium are deficient, resulting in reduced sperm production and decreased vitality. Animal experiments have also shown that malnutrition can reduce the amount of semen and the fructose content in semen that powers sperm activity. Overnutrition in adolescence often leads to obesity, adiposis leading to loss or decrease of pituitary function, inability or decrease in male hormone release, and prone to symptoms such as small testicles, small penises, and lack of secondary sexual characteristics, feminization, which are highly likely to lead to infertility in adulthood.
3. Secondly, long-term consumption of certain foods, such as raw cottonseed oil, celery, and other foods added with nitrite type food preservatives or meta sulfonamide type food coloring agents can also lead to a decline in the number and quality of sperm.
4. Fertility disorders in some male infertility patients are related to the loss of trace elements in the body, with zinc playing a particularly important role. It is not only involved in the formation of sperm, but also closely related to the birth, development, and maturation of sperm.
5. Zinc is in direct proportion to the quality and density of semen, and zinc deficiency can affect sperm metabolism and vitality, thereby "delaying" testicular development. When zinc is insufficient, it can directly "harm" prostate tissue, and semen contains one-third of the prostate fluid, which also leads to poor semen liquefaction, reducing sperm vitality, and affecting the fertilization process.
6. If men want to improve their fertility, don't forget to supplement zinc. Adults need 15 milligrams of zinc per day, but since the amount absorbed is usually smaller than the supplement, it is best to supplement more than 15 milligrams of zinc per day. Generally speaking, there are two ways to supplement zinc: one is to take zinc preparations orally, and the other is to eat some foods containing zinc, such as seafood, apples, bananas, and so on.
7. Finally, it is pointed out that magnesium can improve the vitality of sperm, so while supplementing zinc, attention should also be paid to supplementing magnesium to achieve the goal of "dual pronged". Foods rich in magnesium include beans, seaweed, oats, and so on.
