Diet for pregnancy
1. To ensure adequate quality protein
Protein is an important part of cells, and it is also an important raw material to produce sperm. Reasonable supplement of food rich in high-quality protein is beneficial to coordinate male endocrine function and improve the quantity and quality of sperm. Food rich in high quality protein: deep sea fish and shrimp, oysters, soybeans, lean meat, eggs, etc. Seafood not only has low pollution level, but also contains DHA, EHA and other nutrients which can promote brain development and physical fitness. But not over intake. Excessive intake of protein is easy to destroy the balance of nutrition in the body, resulting in insufficient intake of vitamins and other substances, and resulting in acidic constitution, which is very unfavorable for pregnancy.
2. Reasonable supplement of minerals and trace elements
Minerals and trace elements in human body have the same important influence on male fertility. The most common elements are zinc, selenium and other elements, which are involved in the synthesis and delivery of testosterone in men, and help improve the ability of sperm activity and reproductive physiological activities such as fertilization. Zinc can regulate the function of immune system and improve sperm motility. Zinc deficiency in human body will lead to the decrease of sperm number, the increase of abnormal sperm number, the decrease of sexual and reproductive function, and even infertility; selenium deficiency will reduce the energy source required for sperm activity and decrease the motility of sperm. The foods with high zinc content are: shellfish, animal viscera, cereal germ, sesame, shrimp, etc.; the foods with high selenium content are: kelp, cuttlefish, shrimp, laver, etc.
And if the body lacks iron, it is easy to cause anemia during pregnancy.
3. Don't underestimate fruits and vegetables
Men tend to ignore fruits and vegetables, think that it is a girl's diet. However, we don't know that fruits and vegetables contain a lot of vitamins which are necessary for male reproductive physiological activities. Some foods with high vitamin are very helpful to improve the survival quality of sperm. For example, vitamin A and vitamin E can delay aging, reduce chronic functional decline, and also have a good effect on sperm production and sperm activity. Lack of these vitamins, often can cause spermatogenesis obstacles. If a man lacks all kinds of vitamins in fruits and vegetables for a long time, it may hinder the normal development of gonads and the production of sperm, which will reduce or affect the normal activity of sperm, and even lead to infertility.
4. The right amount of fat is also good
Sex hormone is mainly converted from cholesterol in fat. Cholesterol is an important raw material for the synthesis of sex hormone. Fat also contains essential fatty acids for spermatogenesis. If lacking, it will not only affect spermatogenesis, but also cause decreased libido. Meat, fish, eggs contain more cholesterol, moderate intake is conducive to the synthesis of sex hormones. Try to eat less pork and choose more fish and poultry, especially deep-sea fish. The essential fatty acids in deep-sea fish participate in the production and balance of hormones, which is beneficial to male reproductive health.
5. Strictly stop smoking and drinking
The longer the smoking time, the more abnormal sperm and the lower the sperm motility. At the same time, smoking can also cause arteriosclerosis and other diseases. More than 90% of smokers have poor penile blood circulation and slow penile erection. Excessive or long-term drinking can accelerate the decomposition of testosterone in the body, resulting in the decrease of testosterone level in men's blood, decreased sexual desire, sperm deformity and impotence. Therefore, for the healthy birth of the next generation, we should try our best to stop smoking and drinking.
