In the 21st century, if you want to give birth to a healthy and beautiful baby, it is not just a woman's business, but fathers-to-be should also prepare for pregnancy.
Many men know that they need to "close the mountains for reforestation" before preparing for pregnancy, to quit smoking and alcohol. But you may not know that in order to have a better sperm quality and give birth to a smart and healthy baby, you also need enough nutrients to support.
Especially in our modern society, the quality of male "tadpoles" is worrying, which is also a big "male" question.
So, this topic is worthy of our dads' attention.
As early as 2010, the World Health Organization released the fifth edition of the "Human Semen Processing and Testing Laboratory Manual". The report mentioned: The sperm quality of men all over the world is declining.
Compared with 30 to 40 years ago, the number of sperm per milliliter of semen in men has plummeted from about 100 million to 20 to 40 million.
This data is quite shocking.
If the human body is compared to a plant, the quality of the seeds is not good, and future saplings will not be able to grow into towering trees.
This data is also not optimistic for Chinese men.
According to the "2012 Chinese Male Sperm Quality Survey White Paper" survey, there are more than 40 million infertility patients in China, accounting for 12.5% of the population of childbearing age, and most of them are 25-30 years old; and 30 years ago , This figure is only 3%. The Institute of Science and Technology of the Population and Family Planning Commission found that the quality of men’s semen in my country is declining at a rate of 1% per year.Sperm counts have dropped by more than 40%. Drivers, white-collar workers, etc. are even more vulnerable to infertility.
Improving the quality of male "tadpoles" has now become a very important event.
Especially in 2021, three children will be fully open. In addition to no birth, eugenics is the best choice.
So in addition to developing good living habits and wanting to improve the quality and vitality of sperm, what other nutrients do we need to add?
The following 5 nutrients, we must pay attention to ensure sufficient in our daily diet.
- fructose
Sperm activity is related to the low fructose content in semen, and the amount of fructose in semen is very likely to cause span_span 21. Fortunately, honey and various fruits are rich in fructose. As long as men who are willing to eat fruits, they will generally not lack it.
Food reference source: honey, various fruits.
- Arginine
As the main component of sperm protein, arginine improves sperm production. It is a human non-essential amino acid ,But our human body can synthesize by ourselves.
Food reference source: any food containing protein, such as meat, poultry, milk, fish, etc.
- Zinc ul58ul
- Calcium
- Vitamin E
Zinc is abundantly present in the male testis, and it is involved in the entire process of sperm production, maturation and maintenance of normal sperm production. If is zinc-deficient , it will lead to a decrease in the number of tadpoles, lack of vitality, poor semen liquefaction, and may even lead to male infertility. Therefore, zinc supplementation is not only a matter for children, and fathers-to-be must pay more attention.
Food reference sources: oysters, animal liver, brain, heart, kidney, beef, etc.
It is important for the sperm motility, 20_span, and maintenance of the sperm motility, 20_span, and span 21. effect. If calcium is lacking, the "tadpoles" will not move. Therefore, a good calcium supplementation will also help improve sperm quality.
Food reference sources: milk, yogurt, cheese, shrimp skin, seafood, sesame, tahini, soybeans, soy products.
Vitamin E is also called tocopherol,Just look at the name and you know that it is related to human reproduction.
Vitamin E can regulate gonads and prolong the lifespan of sperm. It can also improve blood circulation, increase the motility of capillaries in the reproductive organs, increase libido, and increase sperm production, so it is also an essential nutrient for men to prepare for pregnancy.
food reference source: vegetable oil (except olive oil and coconut oil), such as corn oil , peanut oil, sesame oil, grain germ, many green plants, meat, butter, milk, eggs, etc.
The three-child policy was officially entered into the law, and the state advocates marriage and childbirth at the right age, prenatal and postnatal care. Those who have the conditions will actively respond to the call of the country. If there are no conditions, we are not in a hurry, solve the "male" problem, give birth to a healthy one, second or even third child, and prevent the child from losing at the starting line!
