Male sperm is the key to cultivate the next generation, but with the need of work, tobacco and alcohol are used to men. Excessive consumption of tobacco and alcohol may affect the quality of sperm and the production of the next generation. So, how should male friends protect sperm? Let's take a look.
How to protect male sperm
1. Effect of tobacco and alcohol on sperm
The combination of multiple factors, such as increased vulnerability of sperm cells and decreased self-repair ability, can cause sperm deformity. Excessive smoking will lead to sperm deformity. Similarly, the number of normal sperm of long-term smokers will also decrease, with an average reduction of about 10%. The incidence of abnormal sperm significantly increased in those who smoked 21-30 cigarettes a day; The incidence of abnormal sperm was higher in those who inhaled more than 30 tubes. The longer the smoking time, the more abnormal sperm, and with the continuous reduction of the number of normal sperm, the sperm activity will also weaken. Experts suggest that it is best to stop smoking for half a year before starting to have children.
In addition, someone analyzed more than 5000 pregnant women and found that the more cigarettes the husband smokes more than 10 cigarettes a day, the higher the prenatal mortality rate and the higher the mortality rate. Moreover, the proportion of women whose husbands smoke is about 2.5 times higher than that of women whose husbands don't smoke.
Alcohol has testicular toxicity: reduce sperm density, improve sperm deformity rate and infertility. Compared with the normal control group, the serum testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH) and FSH of alcoholics decreased significantly. The oxidation caused by alcoholism should increase and damage the interstitial cells and sertoli cells of testis, and also damage the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis.
2. Partial eclipse
Some men have a monotonous, partial, picky diet and do not like animal food. Zinc, selenium, copper, phosphorus, calcium, vitamin e and a in the diet are closely related to sperm production.
1) Insufficient high-quality protein is not guaranteed
Protein is an important component of cells and an important raw material for spermatogenesis. Reasonable supplement of food containing high-quality protein can help coordinate male endocrine function and improve the quantity and quality of sperm.
2) Vitamins and trace elements
Minerals and trace elements in the human body have equally important effects on male fertility. The most common are zinc and selenium, which participate in the synthesis and transportation of male testosterone and help improve sperm activity and reproductive physiological activities such as fertilization. Zinc can regulate the function of immune system and improve sperm activity in vivo. Zinc deficiency in the human body will lead to a decrease in the number of sperm and an increase in the number of abnormal sperm, leading to infertility. Selenium deficiency will lead to a decrease in the energy sources required for sperm activity, thus reducing sperm motility.
