Impact Vegetarian Diet For Sperm
Vegetarian lifestyle is believed to extend the life and make life healthier. But apparently, the latest penelitiant find a negative effect on the quality of being vegetarian sperm fertility.
Four years ago researchers from Loma Linda University Medical School started a project to find out how to do the vegetarian diet can affect sperm quality. Apparently, the study proves that not eating meat can reduce sperm quality.
"We found that a diet or diet significantly affect sperm quality. The vegetarian proved to have a lower sperm count than on diets that do the non-vegetarians,"
In these studies found that vegetarians have lower sperm counts than non-vegetarians. They have a smaller amount of sperm that is only 50 million sperm per ml compared to non-vegetarians more about 70 million sperm per ml.
In addition, vegetarians also have motility (ability to move) lower sperm. In a non-vegetarian, active sperm stands at about 60 percent of the total sperm issued. But on a vegetarian, only one-thirds active.
However, vegetarians do not have to worry with his lifestyle. The researchers believe that the fertility vitamin deficiency experienced by vegetarians can be replaced by eating soy.
One of the factors why soy can replace vitamin content than meat, because soy contains phyto-estrogens that are similar to the female hormone estrogen. So the nutritional content derived from meat can be replaced with soy content.
"A new theory has been found that vegetarians can substitute meat with soy nutrients, because soy contains phytooestrogens which can affect fertility," said Dr. Orzylowska which is an obstetrician at Loma Linda University Medical Center.
In addition to soy, grapes, oranges and peaches can be a solution for vegetarians to improve sperm quality. In a study conducted at University of Texas Medical Branch fruits that contain vitamin C can increase the number and motility of sperm.
"On the one hand, fruits and vegetables may have a positive effect on fertility, especially fruits are very high in antioxidants." said Jorge Chavarro from Harvard University.
In addition to eating soy and fruit vegetarians can also mengonsumsin oatmeal or foods that contain whole grains. The researchers say that oatmeal rich in L-arginine, one of the amino acids in cooperation with nitric oxide (NO) can reduce blood vessel stiffness.
Amino acids contained in oatmeal also has long been used to treat erectile dysfunction because it can help the muscles surrounding the blood vessels of the penis to relax. With so when dilated veins, blood flow will be increased so that the vegetarians can maintain an erection longer.
