The expectant mother must have a healthy weight before pregnancy, and the expectant father must also have a normal weight.
Obese and malnourished fathers are unqualified. Obesity affects male fertility. American research suggests that obesity can cause changes in male hormone levels, leading to reduced fertility. Compared with leaner men, obese men have lower blood levels of testosterone, as well as lower levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, two hormones important for fertility. The study explains that excessive obesity may promote the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. This change in hormones will send a signal to the brain to inhibit the production of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Studies have shown that obesity can lead to a decrease in sexual desire and increase the likelihood of erectile dysfunction. Hormone changes later discovered collectively demonstrated that obesity impairs male fertility. Malnutrition will directly affect male reproductive function and fertility. If the father who wants to have a child is below the standard weight, he should increase his food intake and consume more high-quality protein and fat-rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, fish and soy products; if he is overweight, he should formulate a scientific plan. Reasonable diet and increased physical exercise.
