A foreign experiment divided the healthy girls participating in the experiment into two groups. One group consumed only a small amount of cheese and milk, and all other foods were vegetarian; The other group ate normal food. After a 6-week weight loss program, researchers found that 78% of women who ate vegetarian diets experienced a physiological phenomenon of stopping ovulation, and almost all groups had shorter menstrual cycles than normal. However, in the group with a normal diet, 67% of women had normal ovulation and no significant changes in their menstrual cycle.
Analysis suggests that the reason why women in the vegetarian group experience ovulation cessation is related to their low intake of protein, which leads to hormonal secretion disorders and menstrual cycle disorders. Inference: Vegetarianism can lead to abnormal reproductive function and even seriously affect reproductive ability.
If women do not want their fertility to be affected, they must think twice before embarking on a vegetarian diet to lose weight, especially for women over the age of 30 who have already decreased their fertility and should be cautious.
Eating too many carrots, be careful of infertility
If you want to have your own baby, if you don't want menstrual abnormalities, then don't eat carrots all day like a bunny.
Perhaps you may ask, "Is it so serious?" The answer is: "Yes!" According to a study by Dr. Kinnan from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the United States, excessive carotene can affect the synthesis of lutein in the ovaries, reduce secretion, and even cause amenorrhea, anovulation, and menstrual disorders.
This condition was first discovered in individuals with anorexia psychologica, even if they do not eat or menstruate, blood tests still reveal high levels of carotenoids in their blood. Later, it was found in some other female patients that consuming a large amount of carrots can cause high levels of carotenoids in the blood, leading to abnormal phenomena such as infertility, amenorrhea, and anovulation. The researchers explained that this may be β Carotenoids interfere with steroid synthesis. A doctor once found that six women with menstrual abnormalities caused by excessive consumption of carrots had yellow orange ovaries, known as "golden ovaries".
Director Li Hong, a pregnancy expert, emphasized that if you eat carrots one by one like a baby rabbit, do you want to think about the possibility of causing golden ovaries, decreased secretion of lutein, amenorrhea, menstrual abnormalities, anovulation, and infertility!
Indoor pollution affects women's reproductive health
The Indoor Environment Monitoring Center of the China Interior Decoration Association warns that women are more susceptible to the three major indoor pollution hazards of decoration and furniture pollution, electromagnetic radiation pollution, and kitchen oil smoke pollution, and this harm will directly affect the next generation of humanity.
The survey conducted by the Indoor Environment Monitoring Center shows that benzene pollution released by various paints, coatings, and adhesives in homes, office building decoration, and workplaces can easily affect women's health and even directly affect the fetal development of pregnant women.
Experts conducted a 5-year study on 1500 pregnant women and their newborns, and found that low concentrations of aromatic organic solvent pollution have adverse effects on newborn birth weight, leading to a decrease in newborn birth weight and a significant shortening of fetal gestational age. In addition, the investigation found that free formaldehyde from various artificial boards in decorative materials and furniture is not only a suspected carcinogen, but also may cause menstrual disorders and abnormalities in women.
With the increasing working hours of professional women in the office and the popularity of various household appliances, electromagnetic radiation fills indoor spaces, directly affecting women's circulatory, immune, reproductive, and metabolic functions, thereby causing physiological imbalance in the body, causing disorders in the nervous system and humoral regulation.
According to statistical data in our country, about 10-15% of married couples are unable to conceive, of which about one-third are caused by the male partner, while the main cause is still the female partner. At present, infertility has become a common disease, and its incidence rate is rising. The reason may be related to environmental pollution, smoking, late childbirth, obesity or emaciation caused by malnutrition, drugs or drugs, heavy work and life pressure, repeated pregnancy, pelvic surgery, reproductive tract infection, sexually transmitted diseases and other factors. In addition, the incidence of infertility also increases significantly with age.
Generally speaking, for couples aged 30-34, one out of every seven couples is infertile; Women aged between 35 and 40 years old, with 1 out of 5 infertile couples; Women are between the ages of 40 and 44, and one out of every four couples is infertile. The pregnancy rate of women is significantly reduced after the age of 40. In this regard, director Zhang Rongzhu, a fertility expert, emphasized that the optimal age for treating infertility patients should be before the age of 35. Because after the age of 35, women's ovarian function begins to decline, chromosomes are prone to mutation, and the teratogenicity rate of fetuses also increases.
