Food is closely related to sexual desire and reproductive ability. Many people know that eating oysters, leeks, watermelons, and other foods can increase sexual desire, but they are not very familiar with the foods that affect reproductive ability.
1. Processed meat products.
A study by Harvard University shows that men who eat processed meat products such as sausages, bacon, and grilled sausages have 23% fewer normal sperm count than men who hardly eat such foods. This study is published in epidemiology. Researchers have pointed out that processed meat products have higher levels of hormones, pigments, and other substances. Substitutes: Replace with fresh beef and seafood. Another study from Harvard University showed that men who ate a lot of fish had a 51% higher sperm count than men who did not eat fish, especially for darker colored fish such as salmon or tuna, which had a more pronounced effect.
2. Whole milk.
A study published in Human Reproduction shows that adult men who consume whole milk products such as cheese or milk every day have fewer viable sperm. Scientists suggest that adolescent men should drink whole milk, but adult men may experience sperm problems when consuming whole milk. Alternative: Just switch to low-fat milk. According to the research published in Fertility and Sterility, men who eat low-fat dairy products every day have stronger sperm motility and higher sexual life satisfaction.
3. Sweet drinks.
A study published in Human Reproduction suggests that long-term consumption of sugary beverages can weaken sperm motility. Interestingly, this association is most evident in thin men. Scientists say that sugary beverages increase the risk of insulin resistance, increase oxidative stress, and harm sperm. Substitutes: Fresh juice and green tea are the best substitutes that help improve functionality.
4. Non organic vegetables.
At the 2014 annual meeting of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine recently held, a report showed that compared to men who ate organic vegetables, men who ate non organic vegetables had lower reproductive ability, mainly due to pesticide residue issues. Alternatives: Try to eat as much green and organic food as possible, and wash the skin of raw vegetables as much as possible.
5. Celery, bean products.
Research in the United States has found that male adults who consume a certain amount of celery for multiple consecutive days have a significant decrease in sperm count, and it takes 4 months to gradually return to normal after fasting on celery. In addition, if men eat soy products every day, their sperm count will significantly decrease. Substitutes: spinach and garlic. According to Indian nutritionist Dr. Ashwarayan, spinach is rich in vitamin E, which is a catalyst for human sex hormone secretion. Spinach is rich in manganese, a trace element that can promote the occurrence of sex hormones. Regularly adding garlic to food can help improve sexual quality and make it easier to achieve orgasm.
