      Because people are indeed more nervous at work and have more social activities at present, but some bad living habits will lead to sperm Decreased vitality, such as irregular life, spicy food, sitting for long periods of time, etc. Therefore, you should pay attention not to be addicted to alcohol and spicy food, not to wear jeans or less, not to wash or take less sauna baths, and to avoid working environments with high temperatures and radiation, etc. Because sperm is very delicate and fragile, its growth environment requires a temperature that is generally 1 to 2°C lower than body temperature. Therefore, you should maintain sufficient energy to provide sperm with an environment suitable for growth and life.

      Experts point out that studies have shown that nicotine in tobacco leaves has the effect of reducing sex hormone secretion and killing sperm. For those who smoke 30 cigarettes a day, the sperm survival rate is only 49%. The secretion of male hormones in smokers' bodies is 16% to 47% less than that of non-smokers, thus reducing the ability to produce sperm. Long-term alcohol abuse can cause damage to the spermatogenic cells of the testicles and affect sperm production. If you get rid of these bad habits, eat more foods that can strengthen sperm and remove toxins, and help eliminate toxins from the body, you can give sperm a clean environment for development.

      Foods you can consider increasing are: Seafood: Contains a variety of unsaturated acids, which can block the body's reaction to cigarettes and enhance the body's immunity.

      Livestock and poultry blood: After the blood proteins in the blood of pigs, ducks, chickens, geese and other animals are decomposed by gastric juice, they can react with the smoke and dust that invades the human body to promote the phagocytosis function of macrophage lymphocytes.

      Leek: Also known as Qiyangcao, it is rich in volatile oil, sulfide, protein, cellulose and other nutrients. It warms the spleen, strengthens yang and solidifies essence. Its crude fiber can help smokers and drinkers excrete toxins in the body.

      Bean sprouts: The most important thing is "sprouting". Whether soybeans or mung beans, the multivitamins produced during germination can eliminate teratogens in the body and promote the production of sex hormones.

      Lysine: Lysine is an essential component for sperm formation. Foods high in lysine include: eel, loach, squid, yam, tofu skin, etc.

      Zinc: The trace element zinc is known as the "harmony factor for couples." Zinc deficiency in men can cause reduced sexual desire and sexual function, a 30% to 40% decrease in sperm count, and even loss of fertility. Zinc is mainly found in seafood and animal offal.

      Nucleic acid: Nucleic acid is the core substance that governs life activities. It is the basis for protein synthesis and provides genetic information. It plays a key role in human growth, development, reproduction, inheritance and other major life activities. Foods rich in nucleic acids include beef, animal liver and kidneys, shrimp, oysters, mushrooms, nuts, etc.

      Vitamin E: Vitamin E is beneficial to sperm production and improves sperm motility. It is mainly found in egg yolks, beans, peanuts and vegetable oils.

      Exercise and sunshine are essential

      It is well known that we should change the habit of "taking a car instead of traveling" and taking the elevator when going out, and increase more exercise. Experts want to emphasize that sunlight can also stimulate male Sperm motility, "because vitamin D may play a decisive role in the production of semen, and its lack may lead to infertility."

      In addition, sunlight can also relieve people's depressed emotions. Many people will suffer from insomnia, chest tightness, and irritability when autumn, winter and rainy weather come. It can be said that the reduction of daylight hours is the main cause of seasonal affective disorder. In rainy weather, melatonin secretion is relatively increased, and this hormone is closely related to depression.
