1. Tofu
Men who love to eat tofu and other soy products should be careful. According to recent reports from several American media outlets, a latest study from Harvard University's School of Public Health in the United States once again confirms that consuming soy products every day significantly reduces the sperm count in men.
Soy products have a negative impact on the male reproductive system, particularly on sperm production. Soy and its products contain abundant phytoestrogens, and excessive intake can naturally affect the levels of male hormones in the body, leading to a series of adverse consequences.
2. Beer
If you already have kidney-related diseases and consume a large amount of beer without restriction, it can lead to the deposition of uric acid and blockage of the renal tubules, resulting in kidney failure.
3. Milk tea
Most of the pearl milk tea available on the market is made from milk powder, food coloring, artificial flavors, tapioca starch (referring to pearls in milk tea), and tap water. The main ingredient in milk powder is hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is a trans fat. Trans fats reduce the secretion of male hormones and have a negative impact on sperm motility, interrupting the reaction process of sperm in the body.
4. Fried chicken
Men who love to eat barbecue in the summer, beware! Experts point out that grilled and fried starchy foods contain a carcinogenic substance called acrylamide, which can lead to low sperm count and weak sperm in men. In addition, heavy metals like cadmium and pesticide residues are toxic to sperm.
5. Pork kidney
Many people love to eat animal organs, especially when it comes to barbecue, "kidneys" become many men's favorite. Recently, doctors in Taiwan have issued a warning: eating organ meats to nourish the body, beware of the heavy metal "cadmium" causing sperm damage and infertility. For those who think "eating what you lack" with liver, organs, and pig testicles, be careful because eating too much not only fails to nourish the body but may also cause infertility.
