How to maintain the quality of male sperm and what foods are harmful to sperm?

What foods affect the quality of male sperm? The quality of male sperm is related to the probability of female pregnancy, so as a man, you should know how to protect your sperm. Bian Xiao will tell you now, what are the foods that affect the quality of male sperm?

First, foods that affect the quality of male sperm.

1. Tofu

Men who love bean products such as tofu should be careful. According to a recent report by American media, a recent study by Harvard School of Public Health once again made it clear that if you eat soy products every day, the number of male sperm will drop significantly.

Bean products have adverse effects on male reproductive system, especially sperm production. Soybean and its products are rich in isoflavones and phytoestrogens. If you take too much, it will naturally affect the level of male hormones and lead to a series of adverse consequences.

2. beer

If you already have kidney disease and drink a lot of beer without restraint, uric acid deposition will lead to renal tubular obstruction and renal failure.

3. Milk tea

At present, bubble tea on the market is mostly made of creamer, pigment, essence, cassava powder (referring to pearls in milk tea) and tap water. The main component of creamer is hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is a trans fatty acid.

Trans fatty acids can reduce the secretion of androgen, have a negative impact on sperm motility, and interrupt the reaction process of sperm in the body.

4. fried chicken

Pay attention to men who love barbecue in summer. Experts point out that baked and fried starchy foods contain acrylamide, which is a carcinogenic poison, resulting in fewer men and weaker sperm.

In addition, heavy metal cadmium and pesticide residues are toxic to sperm.

5. Coffee

The reason why coffee has a refreshing effect is that the caffeine it contains stimulates people's sympathetic nerves. Sympathetic nerves control all activities during the day. When it is stimulated, people will be refreshed and full of vitality. Parasympathetic nerve is specialized in night physiology, erection and other sex-related activities, and it belongs to the exterior-interior relationship with sympathetic nerve.

When sympathetic nerve activity is frequent, the relatively weak parasympathetic nerve will be inhibited, and the clinical manifestation is decreased sexual desire.

6.pork tenderloin

Many people like to eat animal offal, especially when eating barbecue. "Kidney" is the favorite of many men. Recently, doctors in Taiwan Province Province warned: Eat viscera to replenish the body, and beware of heavy metal "cadmium" damaging sperm and causing infertility. Liver, viscera, pig testicles, people who want to "eat whatever they want" should be careful, because eating too much can not only make up the body, but also may be infertile.

The latest research in Taiwan Province Chang Gung Hospital found that the contents of cadmium in liver and kidney of pigs, cattle and sheep are different. People eat cadmium in their stomachs while taking supplements, which easily leads to infertility. If they are smokers themselves, the infertility rate is as high as 60%.

Second, Chinese herbal medicines that affect sperm quality

1. Tripterygium wilfordii

Adults take this product 10~20g every day for 14 days, which can lead to sperm loss. After 60 days, most of the sperm can be killed. After 3 months of drug withdrawal, the sperm count increased significantly or returned to normal.

2. Earthworms

The minimum content of ethanol extract (earthworm powder) and succinic acid (one of its components) of earthworm soup is 5% earthworm powder and 0.5% succinic acid, which is used to instantly inactivate human sperm.

3. Seven leaves and a flower

Its extract and crude soap have strong spermicidal effect in vitro.

4. Cotton seeds

Gossypol extracted from cottonseed is an effective spermicide. At present, experts are using gossypol as a male contraceptive.

5. Camellia oleifera seeds

Camellia oleifera seed soap can inhibit mouse and human sperm within 20 seconds, and the minimum effective contents are 0.0 1mg/L and 0.6mg/L respectively.

6. Sophora flavescens

It has a strong and rapid spermicidal effect in vitro. The lowest content of Sophora flavescens that can instantly kill living sperm is 15%, and its spermicidal effect is mainly to break sperm.

Three. Habits that affect sperm quality

1. Shopping receipt

It is found that about 40% of computer-printed shopping receipts contain bisphenol A(BPA), a chemical substance that interferes with hormones, which will greatly reduce the quality and quantity of sperm.

2. Canned food

Canning is really convenient, but almost all metal cans contain BPA coating, and BPA is likely to penetrate into food (especially acidic food such as tomato sauce). Many researchers believe that the biggest source of BPA pollution comes from

Sexual appliances made of vinyl materials, such as vibrating rings and quilts. Will release phthalates. This plastic softener is highly associated with cancer, allergies, birth defects and infertility.

4. Toxic bath products

Phthalates also appear in soaps, shampoos, detergents and vinyl shower curtains. When taking a bath, heat will accelerate the release of harmful chemicals, making it easier to enter the human body.

5. Agricultural products containing pesticides

Agricultural products must be thoroughly washed before eating. Chemical pesticides can not only kill crop pests, but also easily kill sperm. Pesticides not only exist on the surface of food, but also enter the food. Therefore, it is best to choose organic agricultural products that do not use fertilizers and pesticides in the production process.

6. Car heating pad

It is very comfortable to use the car heating pad, but it will cause the temperature of male genitals to be too high, thus damaging the quality of sperm. In addition, the heating pad and hot water bath time is too long. It will lead to high testicular temperature and hinder the normal production of sperm.

7. Contaminated fish

The toxic chemical polychlorinated biphenyls will accumulate in fish. This substance is harmful to sperm. Fish from polluted water bodies should not be eaten. Experts say that if you especially like fish, deep-sea fish, especially wild salmon, is the best choice.

Fourth, how to improve sperm motility

Sperm motility refers to the ability or intensity of sperm activity. Movable sperm is the most basic condition to penetrate cervical mucus, enter fallopian tube and combine with egg cells, so it is one of the contents of routine semen analysis. Under the microscope, the motility of sperm can be divided into three grades: in-situ motility is 1, curve motility is 2, straight-line rapid progress is 3, and 3 indicates the strongest motility. The in-depth study of sperm motility includes microphotography, microphotography, timed exposure photography and computer-based sperm motility evaluation system, but they are only used for research and unconventional examination.

Harm of low sperm motility: male infertility caused by low sperm motility. Low sperm motility, also known as asthenospermia, is one of the most common causes of male infertility in clinic. Fertile sperm should be above 70%. If the live sperm is less than 50%, it is abnormal. If the sperm is completely inactive, it is azoospermia.

How to improve sperm motility;

"Sperm problems are a considerable part of the causes of male infertility." Male doctors say that there are many reasons for male sperm problems, but the most important thing is that sperm vitality is not enough. Male experts put forward four suggestions, especially hoping that married men without children can follow them.

1, pay attention to health.

Doctors who care about kidney essence say that some male friends are busy with work and don't care about health care. But "male health care is extremely important." First, men should pay attention to adjusting diet structure and nourishing kidney essence. The second is to reduce the loss of kidney essence. Doctors who treat male diseases with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine said that from the perspective of Chinese medicine, kidney essence, also known as congenital essence, mainly comes from parents and is constantly nourished and supplemented through the diet after birth. Especially in the case of insufficient kidney essence, it is very effective to pay attention to nursed back to health and strengthen the supplement and maintenance of kidney essence.

Adjust daily life

Provide a livable environment for sperm. At present, people's work is really tense and there are more social activities. However, some bad living habits will lead to the decline of sperm motility, such as irregular life, spicy diet, sedentary and so on. Therefore, we should pay attention to the working environment, do not drink, eat spicy food, wear jeans or wear jeans less, do not take a sauna or take a sauna less to avoid high temperature and radiation. The doctor said, "Sperm is very delicate and fragile, and it is generally required that its growth environment is lower than body temperature 1-2 degrees Celsius. Therefore, we must maintain abundant energy and provide an environment suitable for sperm growth and life. "

3. Advocate healthy sex life.

People only know that unclean sexual intercourse can infect sexually transmitted diseases, but few people know that reproductive tract infection has great lethality to sperm vitality. "The doctor said that infected semen will significantly affect the vitality of sperm, just like keeping fish in sewage. Clinically, young people's infection opportunities mainly come from unclean sexual life and sauna activities, so sexual life must be safe and hygienic. Also, you should see a doctor in time after reproductive tract infection, and don't just find some medicine to eat perfunctory things. Once the treatment opportunity is missed, it will form chronic reproductive tract infection and increase the difficulty of treatment.

4. Use supplements with caution.

Misuse will aggravate the illness and may be affected by overwhelming advertisements. Many men usually look for answers simply from kidney deficiency after problems in reproduction and sexual life, which leads to the abuse of kidney-tonifying health care drugs and food.

Experts pointed out that it is wrong to judge whether it is from the theory of traditional Chinese medicine or from the cases admitted to their hospitals. It's not too bad for patients with yang deficiency to take yin-nourishing drugs, but if patients with yin deficiency take yang-warming drugs by mistake, it will add fuel to the fire. Moreover, supplements also have indications and contraindications. You must verify your physical fitness and use supplements under the guidance of a doctor. Otherwise, there may be wrong results, which will aggravate your illness and endanger your fertility.

Therefore, the quality of sperm is related to the probability of conception, so male friends must pay attention to protecting the vitality of their sperm, do a good job of diet conditioning, and get rid of bad habits in life.
