Lifestyle to improve the fertility of older men
With the development of society, more and more couples only consider the issue of fertility in their old age. However, research shows that male reproductive capacity will decline with age. Therefore, in order to improve the fertility of older men, we should pay attention to the following aspects.
Keep healthy living habits
First of all, men should develop healthy living habits. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol is one of the most important aspects. Smoking will increase the risk of male infertility, while excessive drinking will have a negative impact on semen quality. Therefore, men should quit smoking and limit alcohol to keep healthy.
Secondly, men should keep moderate exercise. Moderate exercise can not only maintain body shape, but also improve cardiovascular function and physical fitness. Yoga, running, swimming and other aerobic exercises are particularly effective in improving male fertility.
Finally, men should avoid some bad behaviors in their daily life, such as sitting for a long time, wearing too tight pants, etc. These behaviors will affect the temperature regulation ability of the testis, thus affecting the quality and quantity of sperm.
Reasonable diet
Diet has an important influence on male reproductive function. In order to improve the fertility of older men, men should have a reasonable diet to ensure adequate intake of nutrients.
First, men should take more food rich in zinc and vitamin E. Zinc is very important for the normal operation of male reproductive system, while vitamin E can improve the vitality and quantity of sperm. Foods rich in zinc include beef, seafood, beans, etc., while foods rich in vitamin E include wheat bran, nuts, etc.
In addition, men should eat more foods rich in folic acid. Folic acid can improve the DNA quality of sperm, which plays an important role in improving male fertility. Foods rich in folic acid include green leafy vegetables, beans, etc.
Men should also limit their intake of environmental hormones from food. Food that has been treated with chemical fertilizers and pesticides contains many hormone residues, which will have adverse effects on the male reproductive system. Therefore, men should choose organic food and reduce their intake of hormones.
Rational drug use
Drug use is also an important aspect in improving the fertility of older men. Men can reasonably use certain drugs under the guidance of doctors to improve their fertility.
Some traditional Chinese medicines can improve male fertility. For example, ginseng and polygonatum have the function of tonifying the kidney and strengthening the yang, which can improve the quality and quantity of male sperm. However, men must follow the doctor's advice when using traditional Chinese medicine, and pay attention to the dosage and usage of drugs.
In addition, men can also use some assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization. In vitro fertilization can help sperm combine with eggs and improve the probability of pregnancy. Men can conduct in vitro fertilization in formal reproductive hospitals to improve the success rate of fertility.
Mental stress and mental health
Finally, men should also pay attention to mental pressure and mental health when improving their fertility. Long term work pressure and anxiety will affect male fertility, and even lead to impotence, premature ejaculation and other problems.
Men can relieve mental stress by relaxing their mood and conducting psychological counseling. In addition, men can also take part in some decompression activities, such as travel, sports, etc., to relieve their own pressure.
In a word, maintaining healthy living habits, reasonable diet, rational drug use, and paying attention to mental pressure and mental health can improve the fertility of men in advanced age. Men should pay attention to these aspects and carry out birth planning under the guidance of doctors to ensure the health and happiness of both spouses.
