A healthy diet affects everything from A to Z of human life. Sexuality is one of the most affected issues and one of the most important issues for people. While malnutrition negatively affects sexual life, it makes it difficult for those who want to have children.
TWO GENERATIONS ARE AFFECTED
A new news published in Bild, one of Germany’s most widely read newspapers, stated that some foods harm sperm and therefore negatively affect the health of people’s grandchildren.
Professor Berthold Hocher of the University of Mannheim Medical Center spoke to the newspaper. Hocher said, “It was determined that the father’s consumption of high fat, salt and carbohydrates caused severe kidney disorders in the child. Until this time, it was thought that such ailments were transmitted to the child by the mother, but for the first time, it was recorded that the diseases were transmitted by at least 2 generations by the father.
UNHEALTHY NUTRITION UNHEALTHY GENERATIONS!
Sharing the results of the research conducted with universities in China, Hocher said, “It was determined that the effect of unhealthy nutrition on sperm quality, and from there, metabolism and kidney disorders were transferred to two generations later. While kidney ailments are passed on to the next generation, it has been seen that it has an effect in the second generation as well.”
“EAT WELL”
Explaining that the examinations were carried out on experimental mice, Professor Hocher said, “But since the genetic inheritance mechanism is very basic, I would be very surprised to find different results in humans.” Bild newspaper also stated that people should pay attention to nutrition in order to have good sperm quality.
“Basically, and unsurprisingly, a balanced diet will help for healthy sperm,” the newspaper said. But at the same time, it is necessary to increase the antioxidants. Red pepper, broccoli, apple, blackberry, basil, greens, olive oil and even coffee can be consumed.
