Nowadays, with the improvement of living standards and knowledge level, people are paying more and more attention to the knowledge of pregnancy preparation. Every couple hopes to have a healthy and intelligent baby. Many men, especially those in the preconception stage, are hesitant to eat garlic. Does eating garlic really kill sperm?
Actually, it's not possible. Garlic, as a common vegetable in daily life, does not have a spermicidal effect. The substance in garlic that can damage sperm is called allicin. However, its damage to sperm is very low, and it requires direct contact between allicin and sperm. Generally speaking, the concentration of allicin in cooked garlic is already very low and not enough to affect sperm.
For fathers in the preconception period, the quality of sperm can be improved through the following aspects.
Eating should be healthy
Eat moderate amounts of fresh vegetables, fruits, and high protein foods rich in vitamin C every day. Pay attention to a balanced and nutritious diet to improve sperm motility. If fathers have smoking and drinking habits, it is best to control these bad habits during the preconception period and reduce the potential adverse effects on their babies.
Engage in moderate physical activity
People nowadays often don't have time for physical exercise due to the pressure of life and work. For fathers preparing for pregnancy, it is best to carve out some time for physical exercise outside of work.
