In recent years, male reproductive health problems around the world have become increasingly prominent, with common ones including decreased sperm count or quality, reduced testosterone content, increased ED, and malformed sperm. In addition to the general environment, this is also closely related to bad behavioral habits.
What behavioral habits can threaten male fertility?
1. Smoking and drinking
Men's smoking age is several years old and drinking every few days will increase the amount of deformed sperm and reduce the vitality and quality of sperm.
2, barbecue or fried food
starch food can produce harmful substances such as acrylamide after high temperature frying or barbecuing. It is easy for men to eat it frequently, and it is easy to cause oligospermia or asymptospermia.
3, radiation
Studies have shown that receiving radiation in large doses can affect the tissue structure of the testicles, destroy the sperm production function of the testicles, easily cause sperm deformity, and reduce sperm count and density.
4. Sitting still for a long time
Sitting for a long time can squeeze the scrotum and prostate, affecting local blood reflux, causing excessive congestion and edema of the prostate, increasing the risk of prostatitis , and at the same time it is easy to cause varicocele and reduce the ability of the testicles to produce spermatogenesis. Also, sitting for a long time can also increase the temperature of the scrotum, hinder sperm production and maturation, and easily cause slight sperm or weak sperm.
5, Bad emotions
Overall anxiety, fear and depression can disturb the endocrine, affect testosterone production, reduce androgen secretion, and thus affect sperm production.
6. Overweight or obese
Body mass index is greater than 30, and male obesity can affect reproductive ability, reduce androgen release, and hinder sperm production. Obese people accumulate too much fat around the scrotum, which increases the local temperature of the testicles, thereby reducing sperm motility. Obesity can also affect sperm capacity, which can easily cause sexual function problems, resulting in poor sperm quality.
7. Staying up late often
Staying up late is the living habit of most men. Staying up late often can disrupt endocrine, affect androgen synthesis, and thus affect sexual ability and fertility.
8, chemical substances
0 Long-term exposure to bisphenol A and phthalate can affect the endocrine, destroy the function of the testicle, and make the quality of sperm worse.
Warm reminder
In order to protect fertility, men need to take care of themselves in many aspects. Let’s talk about their diet first. Eating more zinc-containing foods such as aquatic products, egg yolks and beef can promote sperm production; appropriate supplements of calcium, such as milk, kelp, soybeans and leafy vegetables can stimulate sperm maturation; eating animal offal appropriately, cholesterol is involved in sex hormone synthesis, and promoting the maturation of spermatogonia .
Let’s talk about exercise. Choose aerobic exercise to make it easier to not feel tired. Finally, let’s talk about sleep. I refuse to stay up late and sleep for 7 to 8 hours every night. At the same time, you should adjust your mood and avoid exposure to chemicals.
