Perhaps many people in life pay more attention to their quality of life and strive to do their best in preparing for pregnancy, so smoking is a very cautious issue. As is well known, smoking has a significant impact on fertility. Many women quit smoking during the process of preparing for pregnancy. Now, let me introduce to you whether men can smoke during pregnancy preparation?
Can boys smoke while preparing for pregnancy
The longer men smoke and the more they inhale, the fewer sperm they have, the higher the risk of abnormalities, and the significantly lower sperm motility. This is because the chromium in tobacco has a strong killing effect on sperm, and nicotine and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can also cause changes in sperm morphology. Alcohol is also directly harmful to sperm. Men who abuse alcohol have a higher proportion of abnormal and dead sperm, so men preparing for pregnancy should pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking.
What sports are suitable for preparing for pregnancy
1. Aerobic exercise enhances cardiovascular and pulmonary function
Aerobic exercise is the most effective pre pregnancy exercise method, characterized by low intensity, rhythm, and long duration. Through this exercise, oxygen can fully break down sugar in the body, burn body fat, and enhance and improve cardiovascular function. The required duration for aerobic exercise is 30-60 minutes per session, with 2-3 sessions per week.
There are various types of aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, aerobics, and various ball sports. Pregnant women can choose suitable exercise programs based on their age and physical condition.
2. Walking is the simplest aerobic exercise
Walking can provide moderate exercise to the joints, muscles, and bones of the whole body. Coupled with a relaxed and comfortable mood, it can promote the circulation of qi and blood, smooth the meridians, benefit the joints and nourish the muscles and bones, clear the mind and benefit the five organs. Walking not only helps with fitness, but also enhances immunity, prevents and treats diseases. It is a simple and effective pre pregnancy exercise method.
3. The essentials of walking
Before taking a walk, one should pay attention to relaxing the whole body, moving the limbs appropriately, adjusting breathing, and being calm and gentle. Maintaining overall relaxation is an important step in enhancing the effectiveness of walking exercises. The whole body is too restrained and tense, the muscles and bones cannot relax, and the muscles and joints cannot move easily.
Smoking causes similar harm to both men and women, potentially having a significant impact on the lungs, reproductive health, and semen quality. Therefore, male friends should quit smoking during the preconception period and ideally refrain from smoking in their future lives, as smoking can also cause significant harm to family members.
