1. Causes of sperm aging
1. Will sperm age if abstinence is too long?
-abstinence should be moderate
The growth of sperm has a certain cycle, which requires moderate emptying and metabolism to maintain good quality. Usually, fresh and excellent sperm can be automatically replenished within 24 to 48 hours of a after ejaculation.
If you abstain from sex for a long time, the sperm will age easily, the quality will decrease, and even the sperm quantity will gradually decrease due to the "absorption" of tissues. Some studies have found that after couples have long-term abstinence due to long-term separation between the two places, the semen injected in the previous times often contains a lot of aged sperm, and the quality of sperm at this time may be greatly reduced.
Therefore, abstinence should be moderate. Before the wife's ovulation period comes, the husband can abstain from sex for 3-7 days. If it exceeds 7 days, the survival rate and vitality of sperm will decline, and it is not advisable to increase the chances of conception by long-term abstinence.
2. If you masturbate too frequently, will your sperm age?
-take it easy with masturbation
Men's sperm are generated and developed every day, and a large number of sperm mature every day. If masturbation happens by accident, it will not have a great impact on physical and mental health, and it will not affect sperm quality.
However, long-term or frequent masturbation will have adverse effects on both physiology and psychology. Frequent masturbation can easily lead to decreased semen quality, decreased sperm quantity, decreased desire, premature ejaculation and other symptoms. Some people can't ejaculate during normal sexual life because of the increased threshold of ejaculation stimulation, which may affect fertility. Therefore, men who want to get pregnant should masturbate slowly.
3. Will sperm age if you wait too long for eggs?
-Waiting in the fallopian tube for too long, "energy" is not enough
In the same room, men excrete about 2-4 million sperm at a time, but only a few dozen-2 sperm successfully swim to the fallopian tube of women. Sperm can survive in the fallopian tube for 24-72 hours, and the elite can combine with eggs.
If the sperm misses the best time to meet the egg in the fallopian tube, the egg will arrive late after three or four days, and the sperm that has been stagnant for too long will age and become less energetic, thus affecting the success rate of sperm-egg combination.
Experts suggest that men should protect their sperm from the details of life and good habits. Only by maintaining the vitality of sperm can more sperm enter the fallopian tube and increase the chance of successful combination of sperm and egg.
2. Ways to improve sperm motility
1. The three major foods should be close to high-vitamin foods
: Eating more green vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins will help improve sperm quality and enhance sperm activity. Especially recommended in the diet is tomato, which is rich in lycopene and good for prostate.
foods with high zinc content: foods rich in zinc are not only good for the prostate, but also can increase the number of sperm. Nut foods such as walnuts, peanuts, melon seeds, hazelnuts and pine nuts, and seafood and aquatic products are rich in zinc.
high arginine food: arginine is the main component of sperm protein, which can promote sperm motility. Eel, snakehead, sea cucumber, tendon, bean products and lean meat are rich in arginine.
2. Four kinds of articles should be kept away from
smoking: Nicotine in cigarettes can not only reduce the secretion of sex hormones in men, but also directly kill sperm.
Alcoholism: Alcoholism is the enemy of sperm. Long-term heavy drinking can easily lead to sperm hypoplasia or loss of vitality.
drug abuse: some drugs are harmful to sperm, such as furan drugs and hormones, which can induce sperm growth disorder, sperm chromosome damage or breakage.
Caffeine: Drinking more than 4 cups of coffee a day will affect fertility. Men who are going to "make a baby" should avoid drinking a lot, including drinks such as cola and strong tea containing caffeine.
3. Five habits are irrelevant
Staying up late, overworking, sedentary, lacking in exercise, eating instant noodles and other junk food are all invisible "sperm killers" in life, and these unhealthy lifestyles are likely to quietly destroy the quality of male sperm.
3. Diet enhances sperm quality
1. Eat foods containing magnesium. Magnesium helps to regulate human heart activity, lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease and improve men's fertility. It is suggested that men should eat 2 bowls of oatmeal with milk and 1 banana for breakfast. Foods containing more magnesium include soybeans, potatoes, walnuts, oatmeal, macaroni, leafy vegetables and seafood.
2. Arginine is the main component of sperm head production, and the ability of sperm activity should be improved. Foods rich in arginine include sea cucumber, eel, loach, cuttlefish, sesame, yam, ginkgo, bean curd skin, frozen bean curd, peanut kernel, sunflower seed and hazelnut. For example, sea cucumber has been regarded as a treasure of tonifying kidney and essence, strengthening yang and treating flaccidity since ancient times.
3. It is necessary to eat more zinc-rich tokens, such as oysters, shrimps, clams, shellfish, animal liver, walnuts, milk, beans, bran and lotus seeds. The content of zinc in oyster meat is the highest among all things. Paying attention to the intake of nucleic acid and protein metabolism of sperm can improve sexual ability. Because zinc is an essential substance for sperm metabolism and can enhance sperm vitality.
4. Eating fish and shellfish frequently, such as eel, eel, shrimp, pine nuts, walnuts and sesame seeds, is also helpful for sperm production.
5. For those with asthenospermia due to yang deficiency, animals' testicles, such as sheep's testicles, can also be taken with pilose antler, or with ants for food, so as to warm the yang and tonify the kidney, increase the zinc content in semen and improve the quality and quantity of sperm.
Here are two recipes to improve sperm quality:
1. 15g of leek and fresh shrimp, 1kg of eggs and 5ml of white wine (glutinous rice wine is better). Stir-fried shrimps and eggs with leeks, accompanied by meals and drinking white wine once a day, with 1 days as a course of treatment. It is suitable for patients with kidney-yang deficiency.
2. Appropriate amount of sea cucumber and 1g of glutinous rice. Soak the sea cucumber first, cut it clean, slice it and boil it, then add glutinous rice, cook it into porridge, and serve it with seasoning. It is suitable for patients with kidney essence deficiency.
