In daily life, if men want to have children, they should pay attention to the quality of their own sperm. Men should pay attention to preparing good sperm, effectively supplement protein, avoid affecting the human body, coordinate male endocrine, improve the quality and quantity of sperm. What are the reasonable dietary methods for expectant fathers before childbirth?
Five Rules for Expectant Fathers to Eat Reasonably Before Childhood
1. To ensure sufficient and high-quality protein
Protein is an important component of cells and an important raw material for generating sperm. Reasonable supplementation of high-quality protein rich foods is beneficial for coordinating male endocrine function and improving the quantity and quality of sperm.
Foods rich in high-quality protein: deep sea fish and shrimp, oysters, soybeans, lean meat, eggs, etc. Seafood not only has low pollution levels, but also contains nutrients such as dha and eha that promote brain development and physical fitness, making it very beneficial to target fathers. But it cannot be consumed in excess. Excessive intake of protein can easily disrupt the balance of nutrient intake in the body, resulting in insufficient intake of various substances such as vitamins, and causing acidic constitution, which is very detrimental to pregnancy.
2. Reasonable supplementation of minerals and trace elements
The minerals and trace elements in the human body have equally important effects on male fertility. The most common elements are zinc, selenium, and other elements, which are involved in the synthesis and delivery of male testosterone, while helping to improve sperm motility and reproductive physiological activities such as fertilization. Zinc can regulate the function of the immune system and improve the motility of sperm in the body. Zinc deficiency in the human body can lead to a decrease in sperm count, an increase in abnormal sperm count, as well as decreased sexual and reproductive function, and even infertility; Selenium deficiency can reduce the energy sources required for sperm activity, leading to a decrease in sperm motility.
Foods with high levels of zinc include shellfish, animal offal, cereal germ, sesame, shrimp, etc;
Foods with high selenium content include kelp, cuttlefish, shrimp, seaweed, etc.
3. Don't underestimate fruits and vegetables
Men often disdain fruits and vegetables, thinking they are girls' weight loss foods. However, they do not understand that the large amount of vitamins contained in fruits and vegetables are essential for male reproductive physiological activities. Some foods containing high vitamins can greatly help improve the quality of sperm survival. Both vitamin A and vitamin E have the effects of delaying aging, reducing chronic functional decline, and also have good effects on sperm production and improving sperm activity. Lack of these vitamins can often cause obstacles to spermatogenesis. If men lack various vitamins in vegetables and fruits for a long time, it may hinder the normal development of the gonads and the production of sperm, resulting in a decrease in sperm or affecting the normal activity of sperm, and even leading to infertility.
4. Moderate fat is also good
Sex hormones are mainly converted from cholesterol in fat, which is an important raw material for synthesizing sex hormones. Fat also contains essential fatty acids required for sperm production. If lacking, it not only affects sperm production but may also cause a decrease in libido.
Meat, fish, and poultry eggs contain a high amount of cholesterol, and moderate intake is beneficial for the synthesis of sex hormones. Try to eat less pork and more fish and poultry, especially deep-sea fish. The essential fatty acids contained in deep-sea fish are involved in the production and balance of hormones, which is beneficial to male reproductive health.
5. Strictly quit smoking and alcohol
The number of normal sperm in smokers decreased by 10%%, and the sperm aberration rate increased. The longer the smoking time, the more abnormal sperm, and the lower sperm motility. At the same time, smoking can also cause diseases such as arteriosclerosis. More than 90% of smokers have poor penile blood circulation and slow penile erection speed. Excessive or long-term alcohol consumption can accelerate the breakdown of testosterone in the body, leading to a decrease in testosterone levels in men's blood, decreased libido, sperm abnormalities, and erectile dysfunction. Therefore, for the healthy birth of the next generation, efforts should be made to quit smoking and alcohol.
I hope everyone can pay attention to the changes in men's bodies, eat a comprehensive diet, and also pay attention to health care. We should pay attention to comprehensive care, and in daily life, we should also pay attention to our own dietary habits, effectively supplement protein, trace elements, minerals, and comprehensively care for our bodies. In daily life, men should pay attention to reducing their stress.
