Only diseases affect conception? Of course not! Among the many factors, the most unexpected may be the daily diet of the couple who are trying to conceive, which may be the reason for the delay in conception. When it comes to pregnancy taboos, people think that they only need it during pregnancy. But in fact, the daily diet of both husband and wife as early as the preparation for pregnancy is likely to be a factor that affects your conception. Because those seemingly nutritious or harmless foods are hurting sperm and eggs, invisibly blocking the encounter of sperm and eggs, and even endangering the implantation of fertilized eggs.
Non-shareable soy products
When many women are trying to get pregnant, people will recommend eating more soy foods. Because soybean foods contain soybean isoflavones (also known as phytoestrogens), which can regulate female endocrine, assist in the treatment of menstrual irregularities, ovulation and other problems, can be described as a fertility artifact, so soy products have become a regular customer on the family table.
But what many people don't know is that for men, soy isoflavones are sperm "killers". As an exogenous estrogen, it can have a negative impact on the male reproductive system in the body, or it is better not to share it. Studies [1-2] have shown that soy isoflavones can cause a decrease in testicular volume and a decrease in sperm count in male animals.
Ingredients that are easily overlooked
For the working family, sandwiches, biscuits and bread are regulars for breakfast and afternoon tea, and occasionally a cup of milk tea is added to relieve their hunger. However, these foods contain a large number of trans fatty acids, long-term intake during pregnancy, in addition to causing men and women to gain weight is not conducive to conception, but also reduce the secretion of male hormones, have a negative impact on the activity of sperm, and even interrupt the reaction process of sperm in the body.
Therefore, pregnant couples must look after the formula table when choosing food. If there is cocoa butter, margarine, vegetable butter, shortening, wheat ice cream, vegetable fat powder, creamer and other ingredients, in fact, are the "camouflage" of trans fatty acids, try to avoid buying.
Celery and purslane that are easy to "kill sperm" and "frustrate eggs"
Green leafy vegetables are healthy foods that are recommended for all people who are trying to conceive, but some vegetables are "killers" of pregnancy. Celery is a familiar vegetable, and people with constipation often eat it. However, studies have shown that healthy adult men consume 75 g of celery daily, and after 1 to 2 weeks, the sperm count will be significantly reduced to the point of difficulty conceiving, which will return to normal a few months after celery celery [3]. Therefore, men who are trying to get pregnant should pay attention to the frequency and amount of celery that can be eaten.
In addition, purslane is a cold mixed wild vegetable often eaten in summer, which can clear heat and reduce fire, promote intestinal peristalsis, and treat dysentery, enteritis and other diseases. However, its medicinal properties are cold and slippery, and experiments have proved that purslane has a significant excitatory effect on the smooth muscles of the uterus, which can increase the number of uterine contractions and increase the intensity, which is easy to cause miscarriage. Even during the preparation for pregnancy, it should not be taken lightly, so as not to be detrimental to the implantation of the fertilized egg.
Undercooked meat and barbecue that need to be strictly eliminated
During pregnancy, doctors and dietitians will recommend appropriate supplementation with high-quality protein, that is, meat and fish. Many young people like high-nutrient foods such as steak and raw fish, but these seemingly nutritious and healthy foods have certain safety risks. Half-raw steaks or raw fish foods are likely to expose you to toxoplasma gondii or eggs, triggering infections. And Toxoplasma gondii can also be transmitted through sexual activity.
Data indicate that the infection rate of Toxoplasma gondii in preconception tests or obstetric examinations is about 2%, while about half of infections are caused by eating undercooked meat. Therefore, from pregnancy to childbirth, both husband and wife must cook more meat to ensure that it is cooked. It should be reminded that in daily life, raw meat and cooked food must be independently packaged and placed in layers when placed in the refrigerator; the knife and board for cutting raw meat and cooked food are best used separately to avoid toxoplasma gondii on raw meat from contaminating cooked food.
Therefore, don't think that the taboo is what pregnant women need to do is that everyone is responsible for preparing for pregnancy, and only when both husband and wife work hard at the same time can they achieve eugenics.
