According to foreign media reports, researchers from Boston conducted a study on 105 men whose wives were undergoing in vitro fertilization. Research has found that one pint of beer per day can improve fertility, while coffee and vegetarianism can lower the chances of pregnancy. Meanwhile, another study suggests that vegetarians and strict vegetarians have lower sperm count and poorer quality compared to other males.
Nine ways to improve sperm quality
1. Don't wear tight pants
Tight pants, synthetic materials, and excessively high temperatures have been shown to affect male reproductive ability. It is recommended that men wear pure cotton underwear instead of tight pants.
2. Don't get too hot in the shower water
Frequent hot baths can reduce sperm count. Staying in hot water above 40 ℃ for more than half an hour will reduce the number of sperm in men. It is best to take a shower, and sauna, steam room, and warm water bath should also be avoided.
3. Don't drink too much alcohol
Research has shown that heavy alcohol consumption can lower testosterone levels and lower the quality and quantity of sperm, thereby reducing male reproductive ability.
4. Don't take medicine indiscriminately
Steroids, cytotoxic drugs used to treat cancer, and opioid drugs can affect male reproductive ability. If you want to have children or need to take certain drugs for a long time, you can consult a doctor about the impact of these drugs on reproductive ability.
5. Pay attention to the surrounding environment
Radiation and some chemicals may be harmful to sperm and should be avoided as much as possible.
6. Not being a smoker
Smoking can also affect men's reproductive ability and cause erectile dysfunction. Men who smoke 1-2 packs of cigarettes a day may have abnormal sperm and their swimming speed may be much slower than non-smokers. Smokeless tobacco products also have a negative impact on the quantity and quality of sperm. Research has shown that smokers' reproductive ability can be reduced by half compared to non-smokers!
7. Stay away from obesity
Excessive or insufficient fat can disrupt the normal production of sex hormones, which can lead to a decrease in male sperm count and an increase in the percentage of abnormal sperm. If a man's body mass index (BMI=weight/height squared) is controlled within the normal range (20-25), it is most likely to produce a large number of high-quality sperm.
8. Moderate abstinence
Some people believe that frequent sexual intercourse can increase the chances of pregnancy, but in reality, excessive ejaculation and prolonged abstinence can both affect the quality of sperm. Having sex every 2-3 days may be ideal.
9. Pay attention to diet
A balanced and nutritious diet can help maintain physical health and produce healthy sperm.
