As we promised, the whole year is about New Year resolution and on this occasion we're
00:05
going to talk about New Year resolution in order to enhance your fertility and what sort
00:10
of diet will be good for you.
00:12
So let's talk about male infertility.
00:20
Male infertility usually is defined by low sperm quality and that is usually looked at
00:27
the parameters of the sperm number, if you have sperm number of less than 15 million
00:33
per mils and 40% of them or less are active and 4% of them actually have normal morphology
00:41
of head, neck and tail, then you probably will have problems of infertility.
00:47
So in order to enhance the sperm quality, there are several measures one can be taken
00:52
and that includes, number one, food.
00:56
What sort of food will be good for your sperm count?
00:59
Actually it doesn't take a genius to work out, it's mainly fruit and vegetable and fish.
01:06
Fruit contains a lot of antioxidants and these include food that contains high in vitamin
01:12
C and vitamin D and if you are taking oranges, citrus, nuts and beans, these are particularly
01:18
good for the sperm quality.
01:21
And other food that will be good is fatty fish.
01:25
Fatty fish contains omega-3 and all these are known to have tremendous enhancement in
01:32
sperm quality, especially the number and also the morphology.
01:37
In addition to that, other things that you need to take into account will be something
01:42
like food that contains high folic acid and all these are also believed in order to enhance
01:48
spermatogenesis.
01:51
And lastly, one really need to consider about dairy product because in the past, there's
01:56
a lot of worries about dairy product might actually be counterproductive in the production
02:02
of sperms and eggs, however, recent science shows that dairy product is actually very
02:10
good in enhancing the sperm productions and also egg productions.
02:16
So in addition to food, obviously there are other things.
02:20
Number two is hydration.
02:22
Drinking plenty of water in a range of 2 to 2.5 litres is very good for circulation.
02:28
In addition to that, number three, lots of exercise.
02:32
When you exercise, obviously get the circulation going and that will be very good for the sperm
02:37
quality.
02:38
Number four and number five, actually cut down on alcohol and also on cigarette smoking
02:46
because tobacco and cigarette smoking and alcohol will have a toxic impact on spermatogenesis
02:52
and actually will not do you a favour in enhancing your fertility if you are planning for a child.
02:57
For the following week, we're going to focus on another way of enhancing other parameters
03:03
of sexual health and that is on your libido.
03:07
If you feel that this year or last year, you have a little bit of dwindling libido and
03:13
thinking about what sort of lifestyle and dietary improvement might enhance your libido,
03:19
then you need to stay tuned for next week's Putting Dr. G on the Spot.
