Human sexual life is a part of life activities. Diet can affect the human body\’s life activities, and it can also affect sexual life, including the impact on reproductive cells-sperm. Therefore, for expectant fathers who are preparing for pregnancy, as long as they slightly adjust their diet, they can improve their spermatogenic function and sperm quality.
Speaking of this, I think of a very interesting case. A friend’s son started taking the matter of pregnancy preparation very seriously at my suggestion. Once, we went to have a barbecue in the suburbs. The little boy brought a pot of lamb kidneys very skillfully and grilled them professionally. Unexpectedly, after baking, he did not share it with everyone, but sat down and ate it by himself. His expression became painful as the number of empty picks increased.
My friend secretly told me: \”This child is obsessed with it recently. He eats a lot of kidneys every day. I am worried that he will get sick from eating it.\”
I asked in surprise: \”Why? \”
My friend said distressedly: \”It\’s not just to have a baby. He said he wants to prepare for pregnancy, so he can eat whatever he wants. Eating kidneys can make his seeds stronger.\”
I was dumbfounded for a full minute before I came to my senses and immediately went to dissuade the boy. There is nothing wrong with using diet to improve sperm quality, but the most important thing is the balance of diet. Blindly believing in folk remedies will only make you go further.
When it comes to using diet to replenish sperm, you must first understand the relevant nutrients in semen. The main components in semen are protein, arginine, vitamins, trace elements, etc. Therefore, in order to replenish sperm, we must supplement it in sequence.
Eat some high-quality protein and arginine foods
High-quality protein is The main raw material that forms semen. Foods containing high protein include lean meat, pig spinal cord, dog meat, beef and mutton, chicken, duck, eggs, fish and shrimp, soy products, etc. Arginine is an essential component for sperm production, and oligospermia can occur when lacking. Foods containing arginine include eel, snakeheaded fish, sea cucumber, tendons, soy products, lean meat, loach, sesame, yam, ginkgo, peanut kernels, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, etc. For example, sea cucumber has been regarded as a treasure for nourishing the kidneys, replenishing essence, aphrodisiac and treating impotence since ancient times.
Pay attention to supplementing various vitamins
Vitamin can provide raw materials for sperm, promote sperm production, and protect sexual organs from damage. Among them, vitamin E is most closely related to the reproductive system. It has many functions such as preventing the aging of sexual organs, regenerating empty vas deferens, and enhancing sperm motility. Foods containing vitamin E are mostly destroyed during processing, so you can take its preparations, such as vitamin E capsules. Other vitamins are rich in popular vegetables.
There are also studies proving that improving sperm quality is related to the amount of fructose contained in the seminal vesicles. If the fructose content in semen is low, it is easy to cause necrozoospermia. Fructose is particularly abundant in honey and various fruits, such as pears, apples, grapes, pineapples, and sweet oranges. Foods recommended by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners of the past dynasties for replenishing essence, aphrodisiacs, and replenishing essence, such as river shrimp, sparrow meat, beef, dog meat, fish maw, walnuts, leeks, wolfberry, etc. can also be eaten.
Increase the intake of various minerals, especially zinc
Zinc is an essential substance for sperm metabolism. Male testicles, prostate, and semen contain very high concentrations of zinc. Long-term insufficient zinc intake will cause sparse sperm and testicular atrophy. High-zinc foods are mainly shellfish, such as oysters, shrimps, clams, shellfish, animal liver, walnut kernels, milk, beans, bran and lotus seeds. The zinc content in oyster meat is the highest among all foods. Moderate intake can help the nucleic acid and protein metabolism of sperm and improve sexual performance. The zinc content in lean meat should not be underestimated. 120 grams of lean meat contains 7.5 micrograms of zinc. However, the daily dosage of zinc must not exceed 15 micrograms, because excessive zinc will affect the absorption of other minerals in the body.
Calcium plays an important role in sperm movement and in the fertilization process. If men are deficient in calcium, sperm movement will be slow and the activity of sperm acrosome protease will be reduced. Therefore, men should also pay attention to eating more calcium-rich foods, such as milk, soy products, fish, pork rib soup, seaweed, dried shrimps, kelp, wakame, daylily, mushrooms, mustard greens, coriander, sweet almonds, raisins, etc.
Magnesium helps regulate human heart activity, lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease, and improve men’s fertility. Foods rich in magnesium include soybeans, potatoes, walnuts, oatmeal, macaroni, leafy vegetables and seafood. Men should often eat oatmeal with milk and banana for breakfast.
Appropriately increase some foods rich in sex hormones
such as sheep kidney, The intake of pig kidneys, dog testicles, bull penis, and chicken liver can promote the division and maturation of spermatogonia, which is very beneficial to spermatogenesis.
The most critical dietary principle for improving sperm quality is balance. No matter how much lamb kidneys you eat, you will never be able to provide this balance. The folklore folklore that eating lamb kidneys can make sperm stronger is only one-sided.What we have to do is to have a reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, and choose some foods that can improve sperm quality. This is the most scientific pregnancy-preparing diet plan for expectant fathers during pregnancy preparation—that is, \”how to eat.\”
TCM recommends ingredients that can improve sperm motility
Of course, TCM theory has another interpretation of ingredients that can improve sperm motility and their effects. We can eat some.

No matter which interpretation, in short, these types of ingredients have a certain effect on improving sperm quality, but I still have to reiterate that no matter how significant its effect is, a balanced diet is the most important key. . Because human beings are complex organisms, adding too much of a certain element will destroy its overall balance and have a counterproductive effect.
