Nowadays, people's living conditions have improved, and they are paying more and more attention to health. For our male counterparts, there are five types of foods that are most harmful to health and should be eaten less. Let's take a look together!
Five Foods that Affect Men's Health
1. Fatty Meat
Red meat (beef, bacon, sausages, luncheon meat) weakens you.
The saturated fat and cholesterol in fatty meat narrow the blood vessels, including those that supply blood to the genital area. This leads to inadequate blood supply to the penis during sexual activity, making it difficult to achieve orgasm!
2. High-Fat Milk
Men who consume more than 600 milligrams of calcium through dairy products every day have a 32% higher risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those who consume less than 150 milligrams of calcium daily. Excessive intake of calcium suppresses the level of vitamin D in the blood.
In addition to being an important nutrient, vitamin D is also a hormone that prevents the proliferation of prostate cancer tumor cells, thus preventing prostate cancer.
3. Refined Flour
Refined flour is commonly found in white bread and candies. Although they have good taste and appearance, they lack nutritional value.
In the process of refining whole wheat into refined flour, zinc is lost by three-quarters. However, zinc is crucial for sexual desire and reproductive health.
4. Soybeans
While women can eat soybeans appropriately to increase estrogen levels, men who regularly consume soybeans will also increase their estrogen levels, affecting male characteristics.
5. Fried Foods
The fat in fried foods is trans fat. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that trans fatty acids can increase "bad cholesterol" in the body and increase the risk of heart disease.
Foods that Men Should Eat for Health
1. Tomatoes
The acidity of tomatoes promotes gastric secretion, helping to digest proteins and more. In addition, the abundance of vitamin C in tomatoes helps to produce collagen between cells, strengthening blood vessels.
2. Carrots
Carotene in carrots converts to vitamin A in the body, boosting the body's resistance and inhibiting the activity of free radicals that cause cell deterioration.
3. Seafood
Seafood can enhance sexual performance. Male semen contains a large amount of zinc, and insufficient zinc in the body can affect the quantity and quality of sperm.
Among seafood, oysters, shrimp, and crab have the highest zinc content. Just a small oyster is equivalent to the daily requirement of zinc (15 milligrams).
4. Garlic
Garlic has strong antibacterial properties, which can eliminate invading bacteria in the body.
In addition, it promotes the absorption of vitamin B1, facilitates the metabolism of carbohydrates to produce energy, and eliminates fatigue.
