Sperm growth requires a supply of nutrients. Malnutrition, especially the lack of vitamins and trace elements, can often cause spermatogenesis disorders. Therefore,it is necessary for infertile people to properly supplement some vitamins and trace elements.
Among the nutrients related to reproduction, cholesterol, arginine and zinc are the most closely related. Cholesterol is an important raw material for the synthesis of sex hormones. It has the highest content in animal viscera. Eating liver, kidney, intestine and other viscera in an appropriate amount can not only adjust the taste of the meal, but also increase the raw materials of sex hormones. Arginine is a raw material for making sperm. Plant foods rich in arginine include frozen tofu, tofu skin, peanuts, soybeans, sesame, seaweed, peas, walnuts, etc. Animal foods rich in arginine include eels, cuttlefish and octopus. Zinc deficiency can cause testicular atrophy and sexual dysfunction. Plant foods rich in zinc include peanuts, walnuts, oats, etc. Animal foods rich in zinc include liver, eggs, fish, meat, oysters, etc.
Fertility is closely related to nutritional factors. Inadequate or excess nutrition may lead to male infertility. Animal experiments show that malnutrition will reduce the animal\’s semen volume and the fructose content in the semen that supplies energy for sperm activity. Overnutrition in adolescence often leads to obesity. Fat accumulation causes the pituitary gland function to be lost or reduced, and the release of male hormones cannot or is reduced. Children are prone to symptoms such as small testicles, small penises, lack of secondary sexual characteristics, and feminization. In adulthood, it is extremely difficult to May cause infertility. Secondly, long-term consumption of certain foods containing nitrite food preservatives or meta-sulfonamide foods, colorants, raw cottonseed oil, celery, etc. can also lead to a decrease in sperm quantity and quality.
British scientists have found that the decrease in male sperm count and testicular size in recent decades is related to octylphenol, bisfen A and butylbenzyl phthalate, which are widely used in the manufacture of baby bottles, Inner wall coating of cans, food packaging bags, etc.
In order to ensure the quality of sperm, eat less salted fish, processed meat products (such as sausages, ham), and pickled vegetables. These foods may contain nitrosamines, which are strong carcinogens.
Some men have infertility due to low sperm count or no sperm, and the reasons are complicated. If it is not caused by dysfunction, please add the following foods in your daily life: such as eels, loaches, squid, hairtail, eels, sea cucumbers, cuttlefish, snails; followed by yam, ginkgo, frozen tofu,Tofu skin. Because these foods contain high levels of lysine, which is an essential component for sperm formation. In addition, zinc deficiency in the body can also reduce sexual desire and sperm. For this reason, you should eat more foods with high zinc content. The following foods contain zinc per 100 grams: oysters 100 mg, chicken 3 mg, eggs 3 mg, chicken liver 2.4 mg, peanuts 2.9 mg, and pork 2.9 mg. When eating the above foods, be careful not to drink too much, so as not to affect the absorption of zinc. If there is severe zinc deficiency, it is best to take 50 mg of zinc acetate orally every day and measure the zinc content in the body regularly.
