Paying attention to diet during pregnancy has a great influence on the healthy growth of the baby in the future. Expectant mothers and fathers should not only ensure the balance of various nutrients during pregnancy, but also pay attention to supplementing some nutrients. Folic acid, calcium, iron, zinc and multivitamins should be supplemented before pregnancy.
1, ensuring sufficient high-quality protein.
Protein is an important component of cells and an important raw material for sperm production. Reasonable supplementation of food rich in high-quality protein is beneficial to coordinate male endocrine function and improve the quantity and quality of sperm. Foods rich in high-quality protein: deep-sea fish and shrimp, oysters, soybeans, lean meat, eggs, etc. Seafood is not only low pollution, but also contains nutrients such as dha and eha, which can promote brain development and improve physical fitness. It is very beneficial to aim at dad. But not too much. Excessive intake of substances in protein can easily destroy the balance of nutrient intake in the body, lead to insufficient intake of vitamins and other substances, and lead to acidic constitution, which is very unfavorable for pregnancy.
2. Reasonable supplementation 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 and selenium, which are involved in the synthesis and transportation of male testosterone, and help to improve the ability of reproductive physiological activities such as sperm activity and fertilization. Zinc can regulate immune system function and improve sperm motility in vivo. Zinc deficiency in human body will lead to the decrease of sperm number, the increase of abnormal sperm number, the decline of sexual and reproductive functions, and even infertility; Selenium deficiency will reduce the energy source needed for sperm activity and reduce sperm motility. Foods with high zinc content include shellfish, animal offal, grain germ, sesame, shrimp and so on. Foods with high selenium content include kelp, cuttlefish, shrimp and laver.
