Data shows that the number of male sperm has gradually decreased in the past 50 years. Ralph Dolty from Florida State University in the United States found that the number of sperm in American men has decreased by almost one-third compared to the past.
The median value of sperm in 1929 was 90 million/ml, while the median value in 1979 was 60 million/ml. Recently, Professor Dolty surveyed 132 male college students and found that 23% of them had sperm count of less than 20 million/ml.
Vulnerable sperm
From the perspective of sperm biological characteristics, sperm is the terminal product of male germ cell line development. In the process of spermatogenesis, formation and deformation, due to the escape of cytoplasm, DNA repair enzymes in the cytoplasm are lost, resulting in the loss of DNA damage and repair system functions. Therefore, it cannot repair more than 90% of the primary genetic material damage by itself, as somatic cell and egg cell can. In addition, compared to various other cells, sperm are more sensitive to toxic substances.
In the rapid process of spermatogenesis, the harmful effects of various harmful factors significantly increase after accumulation and accumulation. With the in-depth research and understanding of genes in recent years, it is more clear that the genes carried by Y chromosome are more likely to mutate compared with X chromosome.
Healthy babies come from a combination of healthy sperm and eggs, so male sperm health cannot be ignored!
The Four Principles of "Protecting Essence"
Maintaining appropriate exercise can not only maintain healthy physical strength, but also an effective way to relieve stress. Men with high levels of stress can also consider exercising for 30 to 45 minutes every day.
2. Regular physical examinations and vaccination are not as reliable as the immune abilities of men as those of women. Regular physical examinations can not only prevent many diseases, but vaccination can also prevent some infectious diseases, especially those that may affect reproductive health.
3. Learn to clean oneself. Men should develop good hygiene habits, as private areas are sometimes more prone to dirt and accumulation. The foreskin and scrotum should be cleaned daily; Try to avoid the following situations as much as possible, such as wearing tight and breathable pants, taking a hot bath, taking a sauna, cycling, driving, sitting on the sofa, etc.
4. To ensure nutrition, men usually have the problem of overnutrition. However, in order to have a healthy birth, men should focus on eating more vegetables, fruits and seafood, and taking animal livers regularly.
