These 4 drinks are health killers for men

The ethanol contained in alcohol can cause an increase in "catecholamines" in the blood. The physiological function of "catecholamines" is to cause vasoconstriction. Excessively high concentrations of catecholamines can affect testicular blood circulation, cause premature shedding of immature sperm, hinder sperm maturation in the epididymis, and cause atrophy of spermatogenic epithelial cells.

Although men appear strong, their sperm is very fragile. Its growth and development require nutrients. Cholesterol, arginine and zinc are most closely related to sperm. The harmful ingredients in various beverages will affect the healthy growth of sperm. So, let's do a big reveal on men's drinks and see what invisible killers are there around men that hurt men?

The most generous killer - beer

Alcohol is always regarded as a man’s friend, and people always say that a man who can’t drink is not like a man. In fact, it is the most hurtful to men. Not only beer, but any drink containing alcohol (ethanol) has a spermicidal effect.

The ethanol contained in alcohol can cause an increase in "catecholamines" in the blood. The physiological function of "catecholamines" is to cause vasoconstriction. Excessively high concentrations of catecholamines can affect testicular blood circulation, cause premature shedding of immature sperm, hinder sperm maturation in the epididymis, and cause atrophy of spermatogenic epithelial cells. If the alcohol concentration in the body is greater than 80 mg/L, the damage to sperm will be obvious. Even if you drink low-alcohol liquor, if you drink too much, it will accumulate in your body and pose a hidden danger.

In addition, when the hops in beer are fermented, they produce an estrogen-like effect, which inhibits sperm motility and leads to low male fertility. Beer also contains a lot of purine substances, which work together with alcohol to cause increased uric acid in the blood. Long-term and excessive drinking of beer will cause uric acid deposition, leading to obstruction of the renal tubules and causing renal failure. The health of the kidneys is also related to male energy.

The sweetest killer - milk tea

The same is true for the common pearl milk tea on the market. It is sweet and refreshing, but it hurts you invisibly. Pearl milk tea contains a large amount of trans fatty acids, which can reduce the secretion of male hormones (testosterone), have a negative impact on sperm activity, and interrupt the sperm reaction process in the body. Therefore, it is recommended to drink less. If you really like milk tea, you can make your own milk tea with milk, condensed milk, and black tea.

The most fashionable killer - coffee

Sitting in a coffee shop and drinking coffee is a fashionable thing, but it is not a "sexually happy" thing for couples. The caffeine in coffee can excite the human sympathetic nerves, causing the body to feel invigorated, with faster breathing, increased blood flow, and vasoconstriction. Neurovascular reflexes such as glandular secretion and erection are controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system. When the sympathetic nerves are excited, the parasympathetic nerves are in a relatively inhibited state, resulting in a decrease in sexual desire. Therefore, when men drink a few more cups of coffee to create romance, their sexual desire will be greatly reduced.

The most hidden killer - poor quality tea

Tea has always been recognized as a healthy drink because the "tea polyphenols" in tea have antioxidant effects, which are beneficial to cardiovascular health and the health of reproductive cells. But men who like to drink tea should pay special attention. Drinking tea has high requirements on the hygiene of tea leaves. The concentrations of toxic heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury are relatively high in inferior tea leaves. Heavy metals are toxic and are not conducive to sperm production and can even cause sperm deformities. Therefore, when buying tea, you must choose a reputable brand and an origin with little environmental pollution.

You can’t drink this, you can’t drink that, so what is the healthiest thing for men to drink?

The healthiest drink

Boiled water: Most men are not very interested in drinking boiled water, and don’t even think it is important, but when you sweat a lot, you should especially drink more water. Developing the habit of drinking plenty of water can dilute urine and allow it to be excreted quickly, which can prevent urinary stones, reduce the sodium load on the kidneys, and thus protect the kidneys.

Freshly squeezed juice: Fresh fruits are not only rich in water, but also a major source of B vitamins and vitamin C. The phytochemical factors contained in fruits, such as lycopene, anthocyanins, carotene, etc., are beneficial to health. We need to remind everyone that some freshly squeezed juices on the market often have added pigments, flavors and sugar. It is safest and most reliable to squeeze them freshly at home.

In addition, men should drink less spermicidal drinks, or better yet, not at all. Eating more foods rich in B vitamins and zinc can help sperm development and promote male reproductive health.
