The baby's health depends on the father's behavior

The latest research results from abroad show that the husband's eating habits and lifestyle also play a vital role in giving birth to a healthy baby. Whether the baby is smart or healthy, the husband's diet cannot be neglected. The quality of men's nutritional status is directly related to the family's fertility and quality.

A reminder to young husbands: if you want a smart and healthy baby, start with yourself and change your bad eating habits.

1. Picky eaters who don’t like fruits and vegetables

Many male friends look down upon fruits and vegetables, thinking that they are only for girls to lose weight. In fact, the nutrients in fruits and vegetables are necessary for male reproductive physiological activities, and their role should not be underestimated. If men lack various vitamins in fruits and vegetables for a long time, it may hinder the normal development of gonads and sperm production, thereby reducing sperm or affecting the normal activity of sperm, and in severe cases, it may lead to infertility.

Foreign research data show that if a man's vitamin A is seriously deficient, sperms are easily damaged and their motility is weakened. Even if a woman conceives, the fetus may be deformed or stillborn. Vitamin B (including pantothenic acid) is directly and closely related to the health of the male testicles. Once it is deficient, male reproductive capacity will be reduced. Researchers have found that after injecting vitamin B12 into the male body, the number of active sperms increased rapidly from 1 million to 140 million, and the motility of sperms was greatly improved.

2. Excessive smoking and drinking

Although the harm of smoking and drinking has long been known to people, young husbands in their careers always have the frustration of "being in the world and having no choice". Helpless, if you want a healthy and smart baby, it is better to quit smoking and drinking.

There are more than 20 harmful ingredients in tobacco that can cause changes in chromosomes and genes. These harmful mutagens enter the reproductive system directly through the smoker's blood. For men who smoke more than 30 cigarettes a day, the proportion of sperm abnormalities exceeds 20%, and the sperm survival rate is only 49%. The duration of smoking increases in direct proportion to the sperm abnormality rate. Not only that, heavy smoking can also lead to a decrease in male sexual desire and even impotence, and cause a large loss of vitamin C in the body.

Alcohol and its toxic decomposition products can easily cause chromosome aberration and deformity of the child. The alcohol here does not only refer to "what's in the cup", but any alcoholic beverage or some carbonated beverage, such as rice wine, sweet wine, cola, etc., is harmful to the reproductive health of young men. If the husband is unable to completely quit smoking and drinking, the wife should remind him that he should exercise appropriate moderation at least 3 months before conception.

3. Prefer high-protein meat foods

Most young men prefer meat. "Drinking big bowls of wine and eating big chunks of meat" is indeed a manifestation of male generosity. Although sperm production requires high-quality protein, if high-protein substances are consumed too much and vitamin intake is insufficient, it is easy to cause an acidic body constitution, making it difficult to conceive.

For men, a healthy diet is a smart way to improve their fertility. High vitamins, high-quality protein, essential trace elements, minerals and sufficient energy are the four key elements to enhance fertility.

Folic acid and vitamins

Normally, we always recommend that expectant mothers take folic acid supplements to avoid chromosomal rupture and the appearance of deformed babies due to folic acid deficiency. Now new research shows that folic acid is equally important for those who are preparing to be fathers. When folic acid is insufficient in the male body, the concentration of male semen will decrease, weakening the activity of sperm and making it difficult to conceive.

In addition, folic acid can also be synthesized with other substances in the human body to form folic acid, which also plays a key role in nurturing a high-quality baby. If the male body has insufficient or deficient folic acid, it may increase the probability of chromosome defects and increase the risk of serious diseases in children when they grow up.

In addition to supplementing folic acid, it is recommended that young husbands eat more foods containing high vitamins, which is very helpful in improving the survival quality of sperm. Wives can select seasonal fruits and vegetables for their husbands according to different seasons. For example, in spring, you can eat more fresh vegetables and wild vegetables, and in autumn, when fruits are abundant, you can enjoy more.

Warm reminder: To supplement folic acid, let your husband eat more of the following foods: animal liver, red amaranth, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, asparagus, beans, apples, citrus fruits, and orange juice.
