Many people think that preparing for pregnancy is what women should do, but in fact, men are more important during the preparation for pregnancy. Because providing women with unhealthy and poor-quality sperm will affect fertility. What do men do when preparing for pregnancy?
1. Reasonable supplement of minerals and trace elements
Minerals and trace elements in the human body have equally important effects on male fertility. The most common elements are zinc, selenium and other elements. They participate in the synthesis and transportation of male testosterone, which helps to improve the ability of sperm activity and reproductive physiological activities such as fertilization. Zinc can regulate the function of immune system and improve sperm activity in vivo. The lack of zinc in the human body will lead to the reduction of sperm quantity, the increase of abnormal sperm quantity, the reduction of sexual and reproductive functions, and even the lack of selenium in infertility will reduce the energy source required for sperm activity and reduce sperm motility. Foods with high selenium content include kelp, cuttlefish, shrimp, laver, etc.
2. To ensure sufficient high-quality protein
Protein is an important component of cells and an important raw material for spermatogenesis. Reasonable supplement of food rich in high-quality protein is beneficial to coordinate male endocrine function and improve the quantity and quality of sperm. Foods rich in high-quality protein: deep-sea fish and shrimp, oysters, soybeans, lean meat, eggs, etc. Seafood not only has low pollution level, but also contains nutrients such as promoting brain development and improving physical fitness, which is very beneficial for targeting father. However, it should not be taken in excess. Excessive intake of protein can easily destroy the balance of nutrition intake in the body, and insufficient intake of vitamins and other substances can cause acidic constitution, which is very harmful to pregnancy.
3. Fruits and vegetables
Men disdain fruits and vegetables and consider them as girls' diet food. However, we do not know that the large amount of vitamins contained in fruits and vegetables are necessary for male reproductive physiological activities. Foods with high vitamins can help improve the quality of life of sperm. For example, vitamin A and vitamin E have the effect of delaying aging, slowing down the decline of function, and have a good effect on sperm production and improving sperm activity. Lack of these vitamins often leads to sperm disorders. Long-term lack of vitamins in vegetables in men may hinder the normal development of gonads and sperm production, reduce sperm or affect the normal activity of sperm, leading to infertility.
