There are various causes of male infertility, both innate and acquired. But more and more male infertility is caused by bad lifestyle habits, and some details of life can directly affect your fertility, such as improper diet. Below, the editor will give an introduction.
The following foods can have a significant impact on male fertility:
1. Alcohol
Studies have proved that alcohol is the main component of alcohol, which can increase the concentration of catecholamine in the body, vasospasm, testicular hypoplasia, and even atrophy the testicles, resulting in structural changes in spermatogenic function, insufficient secretion of testosterone and other male hormones, resulting in female manifestations such as voice thinning and breast enlargement. This type of person is prone to male infertility, and even if they have children, the likelihood of deformities in the next generation is also high. Women can cause menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, mutation in egg production, loss of libido, or cessation of ovulation.
2. Coffee
Coffee has a direct impact on conception. Among these women, those who drink more than one cup of coffee a day are only half as likely to become pregnant as those who do not drink such drinks. Therefore, they propose that women should drink less coffee if they plan to conceive.
3. Garlic
Eating too much garlic can weaken people's vitality and have a significant effect on killing sperm. Eating too much garlic in young people of childbearing age can have adverse effects on fertility, so it is not advisable to eat too much.
4. Sunflower seeds
The protein part of sunflower seeds contains components that inhibit testicles, which can cause testicular atrophy and affect normal reproductive function. Therefore, it is not advisable for young people of childbearing age to eat more.
5. Roasted beef and mutton
Eating roasted beef and mutton is a habit among residents in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and other regions. Some people have found that a few women who love to eat roasted mutton have children with mental retardation, paralysis, or deformities. After investigation and modern medical research, these women and their deformed babies are both victims of Toxoplasma gondii infection.
Toxoplasma infection is also known as toxoplasmosis. This parasite is invisible to the naked eye and mainly causes infections in humans, animals, and poultry. The developmental stage during which the protozoa cause diseases in humans and animals is called trophozoite, which looks like a bow under a microscope, hence its name. Toxoplasmosis can infect at least 60 types of livestock or poultry, and people can often become infected when they have the opportunity to come into contact with these livestock and eat their immature meat.
6. Gross cottonseed oil
Long term consumption of wool cottonseed oil can make people suffer from sunburn. The symptoms are that after sunburn, the whole body is weak or sweats less, the skin is hot, red, flustered, short of breath, dizziness, numbness of limbs, and loss of appetite. The more serious impact is damage to the reproductive system. Adult men took gossypol, the extract of wool cottonseed oil, for 40 days, 60-70 mg per day. In a short time, all sperm were killed and gradually disappeared from semen; Women can cause amenorrhea or uterine atrophy. Therefore, it is not suitable for young people of childbearing age to consume it for a long time.
