Khaberni - Population balance has become central in government policies, while individual trends toward family formation are enhanced amidst a shift in community values.
Dr. Gunay Salaiyeva, a fertility specialist, indicates that nutrition plays a pivotal role in enhancing fertility in both men and women. The food that men consume directly affects their reproductive health and their ability to conceive.
Dr. Salaiyeva affirms that following a balanced diet rich in superfoods can enhance the chances of conceiving and contribute to having healthier children. She explains that the process of sperm formation in the testes is complex, requiring ideal hormonal conditions and an appropriate temperature, in addition to a continuous supply of essential nutrients. Any deficiency in vitamins, minerals, or antioxidants leads to a decrease in sperm count, impaired motility, and increased deformities in their forms, reducing the likelihood of pregnancy.
Essential nutrients for sperm health:
Antioxidants: Protect sperm from damage caused by free radicals
Zinc: Essential for regulating testosterone and sperm maturation
Selenium: Protects the genetic material of sperm and improves their motility
Folic Acid: Necessary for the formation of healthy sperm and reducing genetic disorders
Vitamin D: Affects testosterone production and improves sperm motility
Carnitine: Helps produce the energy needed for sperm movement
