In terms of lifestyle habits, many male friends like to eat and drink at the same time, which has almost become a habit. But I want to say that this habit is not a good one. So, what are the bad habits that can harm men's health? Let's take a look together!
Harmful Habits for Men's Health
1. Beer
Alcohol is considered to be a friend of men, and people often say that a man who doesn't drink is not like a man. However, it is most harmful to men. Not only beer, but any alcoholic beverage containing ethanol has a negative effect on sperm.
Ethanol in alcohol increases the level of "catecholamines" in the blood.
The physiological effect of "catecholamines" is to cause vasoconstriction. Excessive levels of catecholamines can affect blood circulation in the testes and cause premature detachment of immature sperm.
It is not conducive to the maturation of sperm in the epididymis and can also cause atrophy of the germinal epithelial cells.
2. Milk Tea
The common pearl milk tea on the market is the same. It is sweet and refreshing, but it harms you invisibly.
Pearl milk tea contains a large amount of trans fatty acids, which reduce the secretion of testosterone and have a negative impact on sperm motility, interrupting the reaction process of sperm in the body.
3. Coffee
Sitting in a coffee shop and drinking coffee is a fashionable thing, but it is not a "pleasurable" thing for your partner.
Caffeine in coffee can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, making the body in a state of increased respiration, increased blood flow, and vasoconstriction. Therefore, it can make you feel mentally stimulated.
On the other hand, the secretion of glands, erection, and other neurovascular reflexes are controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system. When the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, the parasympathetic nervous system is relatively inhibited, leading to a decrease in sexual desire.
4. Low-Quality Tea
Tea has always been recognized as a healthy drink because the "tea polyphenols" in tea have antioxidant effects, which are beneficial to cardiovascular health and the health of germ cells.
However, men who like to drink tea should pay special attention. Drinking tea requires high hygiene requirements for tea leaves. Low-quality tea leaves have high concentrations of toxic heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. Heavy metals are toxic and detrimental to sperm production, and can even lead to sperm deformity.
Tips
For most men, they are not very interested in beverages such as plain water or fruit juice.
However, I still recommend that men drink more plain water or beverages like fruit juice.
Because the phytochemicals such as lycopene, anthocyanins, and carotenoids contained in fruits are beneficial to health.
