Smoking makes Middle-aged men bald faster

 Taiwan University had a research  in 740 men and found that if smoking every day, then these people serious phenomenon of hair loss will be greatly increased. The researchers noted that smoking may damage hair follicles, the impact of the scalp in the cycle of blood and hormones, or lead to increased estrogen.

 The researchers pointed out that compared with European and American men, Asian men have less bald trouble, but smoking makes they lose this advantage, those who showed early signs of male hair loss, smoking cessation should be considered in order to prevent further deterioration of hair loss

Which season do men have the strongest sperm motility

The latest research shows that men have the strongest sperm in fall usually , the largest number of sperm in winter and spring, but easy to defects in the tail, and in summer the highest proportion of immature sperm. This shows that in the spring it is not easy to be pregnant, because sperm with tail defects is poor in the activities, it is difficult to come into contact with the egg to fertilize.
 Sperm quality is different seasons, the British scientists suggested that the best option for men infertility treatment in the summer. Experts said that for a long time there is no "good pregnancy," spring is not the best season for pregnancy.
 
 A latest study showed that the strongest sperm fall, winter and spring the largest number of sperm, but easy to defects in the tail, and in summer the highest proportion of immature sperm. This shows that the recovery in the spring of all things is not easy to pregnancy, because sperm tail defects in the activities of the poor, it is difficult to come into contact with the egg to fertilize. 

 Men of reproductive age, should be ready from the spring for the high pregnancy rate and high-quality in fall, and more outdoor exercise, the spring is also advised to eat green leafy vegetables and some zinc-containing volume of fruits and vegetables, such as cucumber, tomato, legumes such as.

Surprise! IQ = sperm quality of men?

 This is concluded  by the British Institute of Psychiatry, after analysis of the data in the United States veterans of the Vietnam War.


 

 With high IQs often have more active sperm

 The researchers found that those in were better the intelligence tests their sperm is often more active. The results published in the latest issue of <intellectual> magazine. Prior to the latest research clearly support a theory that the gene also has the intelligence of other aspects of the impact of biological function. Therefore, any damage to small changes in intelligence are other aspects of the genetic characteristics of the hazard, such as sperm quality.

 
 In other words, with a healthy gene are more likely to have biology as "health reasons" (fitness factor), these factors make them healthier and more intelligent. Scientists used to believe that lifestyle factors are more likely to reflect the intelligence and the relationship between health. For example, higher IQ people smoke less,more like exercise. Experts believe that smoking and exercise of human intelligence will have an impact on performance.

Intelligence and sperm quality was statistically significant meaningful contact

 The latest research appears to have nothing to do to pass the test characteristics of the two - intelligence and sperm quality, of this gene to verify the theory. The results showed that there existed a small, but statistically significant links, at the same time that this link is smoking, drinking and other unhealthy habits are difficult to explain. The study in 425 men, all of them experienced several intelligence tests, and provide a semen sample.

 The researchers found that, without taking into account the age and life circumstances, higher IQ men in the decision of the three aspects of sperm quality - the quantity, concentration and ability - to better performance.

Allan Pacey, Dr. fertility experts of University of Sheffield. He said: "found in adult men of intelligence and semen quality in statistical ties, may be that they bred in the womb when the mother brain and the extent of the common development of the testis, as well as their adult life in how to better play its role did not show that playing Sudoku puzzle game to some extent stimulate sperm production.

Attention! Men should not drink beer with too low temperature in

 Experts remind that particular attention should be paid to the summer of drinking to prevent a number of diseases and even acute attack, people with chronic diseases should be careful to drink in summer. The ice beer really make people feel thirst-quenching beer, but beer is alcoholic, drinking too much will make people feel thirsty, the body heat,after the sweat or the movement you should not drink more cold beer, sweat dripping cause sweat pores expansion,but drinking a cold beer will lead to sweat pores due to the sudden contraction and the suspension of cold sweat, thus cooling the body blocked cold-induced diseases such as easy .

 In addition, the summer drinking beer on the gastrointestinal irregularities, heart, liver and kidney adverse impact, but also may lead to gout. Will make a lot of beer drinking iced the gastrointestinal tract and decrease the temperature of the rapid reduction of blood flow, resulting in physiological dysfunction and affect the digestive function, and may even induce severe cramps and diarrhea abdominal pain, acute pancreatitis, such as life-threatening emergency.

  Beer should not be too low temperature. Stored in the refrigerator of beer should be controlled at 5 degrees Celsius to 10 degrees Celsius temperature range, beer in the coordination of the various components of balance, can form the best taste. At the same time, beer should not be drink with smoked and pickled food dinner, but also not too much to drink. After drinking beer in the blood lead level is increased, and smoked foods combined with an organic amine will produce some hazardous substances may be induced gastrointestinal diseases.

Eat less dairy products, to stay away from testicular cancer

 A new study shows that relatively high intake of dairy products , men have more risk suffering from testicular cancer. Through a food frequency questionnaire with 69 issues, the researchers collected 601 patients with testicular cancer and 744 ordinary men's diet information.The data cover 17 major categories of food, 15 kinds of nutrients, as well as four kinds of specific foods.
 Researchers at the University of Ottawa, Canada, found that respondents, those people with higher dairy consumption affected the risk of testicular cancer is relatively higher. Especially those with high consumption of cheese, and the risk of testicular cancer patients is generally 87%higher than ordinary men. In all of those involved in testing, lunch meat consumption is also related to the incidence of testicular cancer have great relevance. The researchers found that the investigation has not been 15 kinds of nutrients and the probability of suffering from testicular cancer is associated; [from:http://healthwalker.blogspot.com]
 However, carbohydrate intake and testicular cancer are in a small amount of relevance. But the researchers concluded that, although the current studies have shown that dairy intake and the prevalence of testicular cancer seems to be the relationship between the probability of an increase, but the causes of testicular cancer, the diet plays what role in the end needs to be further studied.

Driving time too long will affect male fertility

 Driving will cause scrotal temperature higher, and the high temperature on the formation of the sperm in the testis will have a negative impact.

 
 Research team of nine adult males were tested. Their thermometers were fixed at the surface of the scrotum. Subjects walk first, and then driving 160 minutes.

 
 In the  processthe first 20 minutes of driving, the average scrotal temperature of subjects increased from 34.2℃ to 35.5℃ In the latter two hours, the high scrotal temperature reached 36.2℃ Driving the process, when the average high temperature than walking 2.2℃.

  Previous studies have found that male driver, a relatively small number of sperm, a higher proportion of abnormal sperm, after marriage his wife take a long time to pregnancy, but the reasons for these problems is not clear. France Dr. Owen who chaired the study,said longtime driving increased scrotal temperature may reduce the fertility of occupational driver,which is one of the important reasons.

 It has been known the importance of maintaining the scrotum cool, for example, two years ago, Australia produced a kind of "air-conditioned underwear" is to prevent the scrotal temperature is too high. In fact,the pants size and thickness  have more important impact on the scrotal temperature, the driver should take it seriously.
