Soy foods are a cause of infertility in men. |
Foods and drinks containing a lot of caffeine
This is one of the foods that causes infertility in men at a very high rate. Perhaps due to the abundance of foods with attractive flavors, men use them without knowing the consequences. Through research, it is shown that using foods or drinks containing too much caffeine will reduce the quantity and quality of sperm. This can cause men to lose 50% or more of the rate of becoming a father.
Alcoholic beverages
Similar to caffeinated drinks, alcoholic drinks also greatly affect the quality of men's sperm. Studies have also shown that men who drink a lot of alcohol have sperm quality that is only 12% lower than normal people. Furthermore, the athenol in alcohol can also cause testicles to shrink. Sperm quality is thereby reduced, increasing the rate of children with birth defects.
Soybean foods
It is undeniable that soybeans are one of the foods that are very good for human health. However, men who overuse these foods can increase the rate of infertility. Specifically, soybeans contain ingredients that affect reproductive health, causing sperm quality to decrease or lead to a state of "the top does not listen to the bottom".
Animal organs

Animal organs are one of the favorite dishes of many men. However, animal organs such as intestines, liver, kidney, etc. contain a large amount of heavy metal cadmium. Regular use of these foods is similar to men taking in more cadmium into their bodies. This gradually reduces sperm count, leading to infertility or sterility.
Garlic
Garlic is one of the essential spices in every meal. Garlic is also known as a medicine that helps increase resistance. However, men of reproductive age should not overuse garlic because using too much garlic will kill sperm, making conception impossible.
Sunflower seeds
Few people know that sunflower seeds are one of the foods that cause infertility in men. The reason is that sunflower seeds contain some protein components that inhibit the testicles, which can cause testicular atrophy, affecting the reproductive function of men.
