Post Date November, 16 2024
With the improvement of living standards, young unlicensed parents pay more attention to cooking when preparing for pregnancy, and no longer think that preparing for pregnancy is just an unlicensed mother. When preparing for pregnancy, fathers should also adjust their body functions with diet to maintain the best physical condition.
Nutritional elements for male pregnancy preparation
Zinc: There is a close relationship between zinc and sperm. The recommended intake of zinc for men of childbearing age by the Chinese Nutrition Society is 12.5 mg/day. Therefore, men who are preparing for pregnancy need to properly supplement zinc every day. Zinc rich foods in life include lean red meat, sesame, oysters, scallops, nuts, pumpkin seeds, shrimp, yogurt, oats, etc.
DHA: It has always been thought that only children need to supplement DHA. In fact, men of childbearing age also need DHA very much. Our brain, retina and testis contain a lot of docosahexaenoic acid, which is related to the appearance and vitality of sperm. If men lack docosahexaenoic acid, even if sperm swim to the egg, there is no way to combine. However, DHA cannot be synthesized into human body and must be supplemented through diet. The foods containing DHA in life include salmon, sardine, and mussels.
Vitamin e: The recommended intake of vitamin e for men of childbearing age is 14 mg/day. This is because vitamin e intake is related to sperm shape. Foods rich in vitamin e: malt oil, corn oil, sunflower seed oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower seed, pumpkin seed, almond/almond, grain, peanut, spinach.
Folic acid: I always think that mother can't supplement folic acid, but father can't ignore folic acid supplement. Folic acid itself is a necessary nutrient for the human body. Mothers preparing for pregnancy have a large demand for folic acid. Lack of folic acid will increase the risk of baby birth defects. For prospective fathers, folic acid is an important substance to improve sperm quality. When folic acid is insufficient in men, the concentration of semen and sperm activity will decline, which will reduce the chance of pregnancy.
What do men eat for pregnancy to prevent diseases
Kiwi: 50g of fresh kiwi, 250ml of mashed warm boiled water (about 1 cup), evenly mixed and taken after drinking, can cure the astringent pain of urine after prostatitis.
Red dates: Red dates are beneficial to blood and invigorate the mind. Red dates can be used to replenish blood. Patients with premature ejaculation and impotence have good therapeutic effects.
