Bad eating habits and men’s health

  With the development of society and the improvement of quality of life, people are now paying more and more attention to health issues, diet and health have a close relationship. Eat and drink, like fatty, partial food, love to eat fried food and other bad eating habits on male health has a non-negligible impact.  1, leading to male infertility French fries and other fried foods, cookies, cookies contain trans fat. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that trans fatty acids can increase the body’s “bad cholesterol”, increasing the risk of heart disease. Trans fatty acids also reduce the production of male hormones, which negatively affect sperm and interrupt the sperm response in the body. Researchers from Harvard University and the University of Murcia surveyed 188 men aged 18-22 and found that those who regularly consumed trans fatty acids were at higher risk of infertility.  Before participating in the study, these men had no other health factors affecting sperm quality, and their diets were divided into two categories: the “Western” diet – rich in red meat, refined carbohydrates, candy and energy drinks; the “sensible” diet – rich in fish, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Researchers found that the “sensible” diet had better sperm motility, while those men with poor diets had less chance of surviving the process of fertilizing an egg.  For example, shark fins are susceptible to mercury contamination, and eating more shark fins with high mercury content can lead to infertility, so it is better to eat carefully. Although there is no direct evidence to prove this idea yet, indirect evidence is very obvious that mercury does damage testes and ovaries, causing damage to male and female germ cells, reducing the rate of embryonic development and risk of reduced fertility. Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine urology male department Zhang Chunhe 2, reduce male sexual function barbecue, roast goose, sausage and smoked meat and other fatty foods, will affect male fertility and make them more difficult to move. Plus male friends eating barbecue will inevitably drink some beer, alcohol can inhibit the central nervous system, interfere with the transmission pathway of the sexual impulse stimulation nerve reflex, inhibit penile erection, thus affecting the normal performance of sexual function, and even reduce the level of testosterone and pituitary hormones in young men.  Saturated fats and cholesterol narrow blood vessels and cause insufficient blood flow to the male penis, thus causing vascular impotence. Fatty foods will increase the storage of fat in the body, which in turn causes fatty liver, estrogen with inactivation in the liver, long time fatty liver will lead to abnormal liver function, which leads to increased levels of male estrogen and disorders in sex hormone levels, eventually leading to sexual dysfunction.  3, the effect of alcohol on male reproductive health In the testicular varicocele, sperm depend on the presence of androgens from the beginning to maturity, that is to say, testosterone is essential at all stages from spermatogonia – spermatocytes, immature sperm cells – mature sperm. Alcohol-induced decrease in testosterone in the testes is the main cause of spermatogenesis disorders. Studies have also found that alcohol consumption causes testicular atrophy and shrinkage, and sterility occurs in 50-70% of cases. In addition, alcohol consumption also induces chronic prostatitis, semen is not liquefied, sperm count is reduced, sperm viability and vitality is reduced, malformation rate increases and affects fertility.      Ethanol, in particular, is the most toxic.    At the same time, due to the long-term existence of the above-mentioned conditions, the immune function of the gland is impaired, and it is easy to cause the infection of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, and bacterial inflammation occurs.  Some experts in the United States have found that consistent consumption of low-fat, high-protein foods can enhance libido and improve sex life within six weeks. If you crave the feeling of a night of passion, it is recommended that you stop eating foods that contain mainly carbohydrates (which can only make you feel sleepy) and consume plenty of foods that contain protein, which can make you more energetic. Also, consuming plenty of vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals every day will boost the production of sex hormones.  Seafood is rich in zinc as is lean meat. Zinc is an important element necessary for men. A lack of zinc will lead to low libido, low sperm count, and even impotence. A man contains roughly 5 mg of zinc in each ejaculation, which is one-third of his daily zinc intake, so the more often he has sex, the more zinc he needs to replenish.  Male infertility patients should instead eat more green vegetables and eggs. Green vegetables contain vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium and other components that are good for sperm growth. Nuts are good for sperm cell growth. Research proves that garlic can rapidly enhance libido and it promotes blood circulation in the male and female pubic area and stimulates sexual sensation. The best results can be achieved by consuming 900mg of garlic daily. The substances contained in eggs can effectively increase libido. Patients should try not to be picky about their food and make a balanced nutritional mix. Daily consumption of plenty of vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals will promote the production of sex hormones.
