Can men with acidic constitution give birth to boys?

There is a secret to having a son on the Internet, that is, if a man has an acidic body constitution, he will easily give birth to a boy, and if he has an alkaline body constitution, he will give birth to a girl, so many young people now prefer this method. In order to give birth to a boy, they let their men eat more acidic foods to achieve an acidic body constitution. So can men with acidic bodies really give birth to boys? Let's find out together.

In fact, the popularity of the acid-base theory is related to some studies that believe that Y sperm, which determines the birth of a boy, is more active in an alkaline environment. However, the so-called "alkaline" has no quantifiable indicators and no complete scientific basis. Because from a medical point of view, the pH value of the human body is relatively constant, and it is impossible to have a large deviation depending on the type of food eaten. In addition, the acid and alkalinity of food is the scope of food chemistry research, and it is not the same as the acid and alkalinity of body fluids produced after entering the human body's metabolism.

On the contrary, if you eat a lot of so-called acidic foods in order to have a boy, you may also suffer from nutritional imbalance or even eating problems due to partiality. At the same time, we would like to remind everyone that the claim that flushing the vagina with alkaline baking soda water can give birth to a boy is also unreliable. In fact, many people have suffered from vaginal flora imbalance and inflammation due to this "secret", which makes it more difficult for sperm to pass through the vagina and combine with the egg, making it more difficult to conceive. What is even more worrying is that some women still often flush their vagina with baking soda water after they find out they are pregnant, trying to make the internal environment of the vagina and even the uterus "alkaline" to achieve the purpose of "changing the fetus". The result is very likely to lead to miscarriage, premature birth or premature rupture of membranes and other dangerous phenomena. Therefore, do not believe in various rumors about "sex change", and do not let pregnant women take any folk remedies or hormones at random, so as to avoid causing irreparable harm to the mother and baby's body.

Whether the baby is a boy or a girl is not determined by the woman, but mainly by the man's sex chromosomes. Sex chromosomes, as the name suggests, are chromosomes that determine sex. In human reproductive cells, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 chromosomes, of which 22 pairs are autosomes and 1 pair is sex chromosomes. The female sex chromosome is XX, and the genotype can be represented by 46, XX; the male sex chromosome is XY, and the genotype is 46, XY. Reproductive cells have to go through two rounds of meiosis, and 23 pairs of chromosomes become 23. The egg contains only one sex chromosome, X, while sperm can contain X or Y sex chromosomes.

When the sperm and egg combine, the chromosomes of the fertilized egg return to 23 pairs. If the sperm containing the X chromosome combines with the egg, the fertilized egg is XX type and develops into a female fetus; if the sperm containing the Y chromosome combines with the egg, the fertilized egg is XY type and develops into a male fetus. Therefore, whether the baby is a boy or a girl depends on whether it is the X sperm or the Y sperm that participates in the fertilization. The combination of sperm and egg is random and is not subject to human will. This is the only way to maintain the general balance of the human sex ratio. This is also a kind of ecological balance in nature. This balance must not be destroyed, otherwise, it will inevitably cause unimaginable social problems.

In fact, the rumor that men with acidic constitutions give birth to boys is just a rumor on the Internet. We should believe in scientific evidence. When we were in junior high school, we should have learned that the gender of a baby is related to men, but that is only related to men's chromosomes. As for the acid-base constitution that can control the gender of a baby, don't believe it. In today's living conditions, it is a good thing to be able to give birth to a healthy baby. Boys and girls are both treasures.
