Sperm quality represents male fertility. Do you know any bad habits in daily life? Let's take a look.
Common sperm killers in daily life include
1. Wear tight jeans. Tight jeans not only compress male reproductive organs, but also affect the normal development of the testicles, which are not breathable, do not dissipate heat, and are not conducive to the survival of sperm.
2. Ride a racing car for a long time. The height of the handlebar of a racing car is lower than the seat, the center of gravity tilts forward, and the curvature of the waist increases. The testicles and prostate of the perineum are tightly pressed against the cushion, causing ischemia, edema, and inflammation after prolonged compression, affecting the production of sperm and the normal secretion of prostate fluid and semen, leading to infertility. Therefore, it is not advisable for young men to ride racing cars for a long time. Sponge covers should be used to protect the perineal cushion.
3. The bath temperature is too high. Under normal circumstances, sperm must develop normally in a constant temperature environment of 3 ℃ to 35 ℃. When entering the bath, the water temperature is too high, which often leads to dormant killing. When taking a sauna, the room temperature can reach as high as 70 ℃~80 ℃, which is more than twice the temperature of a regular bathroom, which is not conducive to the growth of sperm or excessive sperm death and infertility. Therefore, young people should be careful when taking saunas, and the water temperature for bathing should also be around 34 ℃.
4. Zinc deficiency and selenium deficiency diet. Trace element zinc can promote sperm motility, prevent premature sperm dismantling, and facilitate egg binding, indicating that zinc has a significant impact on fertility. Selenium is also an indispensable trace element in the human body, almost all of which comes from food. Therefore, young men should not be partial eaters and should pay attention to eating foods rich in zinc and selenium, such as fish, oysters, liver, soybeans, coarse rice, etc.
5. Inhale kitchen fumes. A study by the School of Medicine of Shanghai Railway University has found that 74 chemicals in kitchen fumes can cause cell mutations, leading to infertility and becoming a new "criminal evidence" of "family killers". They found that the fruit fly that condensed oil in the kitchen hood oil cup had a chromosomal mutation rate of 0.54%, and 2.8% of fruit flies were infertile, indicating significant damage to the reproductive system.
6. Long term consumption of foods with added nitrite based food preservatives or meta sulfonamide based food coloring agents, cottonseed oil, etc., can also lead to a decrease in the quantity and quality of sperm.
7. Celery is also a sperm killer. Eating more celery in men can inhibit the production of testosterone, which has a spermicidal effect and reduces the number of sperm. According to reports, foreign doctors have conducted experiments and found that healthy and fertile young men who eat celery for several days have a significant decrease in sperm count, making it difficult to conceive. This situation returns to normal after stopping eating for a few months.
