What should men not eat when preparing for pregnancy?

Many people may not know that preparing for pregnancy is not just for female friends. Many male friends also need to prepare for pregnancy so that the baby can be born healthier. So during the process of preparing for pregnancy, male friends should not drink or smoke, and try not to eat any junk food or spicy food that is harmful to the body.

1. Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and tight clothing. Testicles function best when they are kept cool. The optimum temperature is a few degrees below body temperature. Steam saunas, tight jeans, panties, and bikini underwear can overheat your testicles and inhibit fertility. To protect your testicles, wear loose pants and baggy shorts (in fact, baggy shorts look better).

2. Bicycle seats. One surprising and unexpected side effect of regular biking is impotence. A study from the University of Southern California School of Medicine found that the constant pressure of a bicycle seat on the groin area can damage the arteries and nerves there. There are saddles designed by ergonomics to relieve this pressure. Raising the seat higher after riding long distances can also help. If you experience numbness or pain after biking, or if you have erectile dysfunction, then you need to see a doctor.

3. Rough sports, such as football, hockey, tennis, horse riding and even rough sex. Rough sports may cause damage to your reproductive organs and affect your ability to produce sperm or ejaculate. If you engage in contact sports, you must wear protective clothing. When you make love with your wife, you must remember: if your goal is to conceive a baby, gentleness is the best method.

4. Stress. Research from the Department of Physiology at Ohio Medical College shows that even a small amount of stress can lead to a decrease in male testosterone levels and sperm count. Reducing stress can improve your sexual ability.

5. Hazards in the workplace. Research from McGill University in Montreal says that exposure to radiation and chemicals can damage sperm, reduce sperm count, and cause genetic defects in babies. If you are exposed to any harmful substances at work, ask for a temporary job change.
