A new study has revealed that eating foods that increase your blood sugar levels can even lead to infertility and erectile dysfunction (ED).
Earlier study have shown that type two diabetes can influence fertility by reducing sperm quality and quantity.
But the last findings discovered that this was the case, even when the blood sugar level was lower than the threshold for diabetes to be diagnosed.
It is amid an explosion in infertility among men who have seen the sperm quality in the last fifty years.
In the meantime, millions of men in the UK suffer from ED, also known as impotence – that is when a man has difficulty getting or retaining an erection.
Similarly, earlier studies have shown that diabetes is linked to ED, but this study suggests that even a small increase in glucose can endanger you.
The researchers suggested that this means that men can make lifestyle choices that can retain their reproductive health or bring new life.
This may mean that cutting sugar -containing drinks, white bread, white rice, cakes and processed snacks all increase your blood sugar level.
A new study has shown that eating food that increases your blood sugar level, even somewhat can influence fertility and erectile function
Their studies with 200 men between the ages of 18 and 85 started in 2014 and ended in 2020.
Researchers studied progressive changes in the men’s sperm and hormone profiles, erectile functioning and metabolic health, ie BMI and blood sugar levels.
While over time hormone levels and sperm parameters remained in normal reach, the sperm movement and the erectile function in men with minimally increased blood sugar levels fell.
They also discovered that although testosterone levels had no direct impact on erectile dysfunction, they did correlate with libido, which is desire for sex.
Dr. Michael Zitzmann presented the findings during the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society in San Francisco, California.
The doctor and professor of medicine at the university hospital in Muenster, Germany said: ‘This means that men can take steps to retain their productive health or to breathe new life into lifestyle choices and appropriate medical interventions.
‘We hope that the information gained from this study will help doctors and formulate their patients effective plans for sexual maintenance of men on sexual health care.
“We now know that it is in our power to keep sexual and reproductive well -being in men, even when they get older.”
The findings come in the midst of an increase in infertility among young men, as a result of which experts have been left stunned
However, other research has suggested various theories for the increase in infertility and erectile problems in young men.
Last month Dr. said Babak Ashrafi, a Family Medic with Super Drug Online Doctor, that it could be linked to the ‘exponential’ consumption of explicit online material.
He explained that although occasional pornography -viewing was harmless, frequent or marathon sessions could redes schools of men, so that they were not normally excited.
“Repeated excessive exposure to graphic content can make it harder over time for individuals to be generated by real sexual experiences,” he said.
But he added that the unrealistic images of masculinity in porn as they should last in bed could also cause.
In the meantime, previous research has found other lifestyle factors that can cause male infertility are smoking and drinking alcohol.
Others include injury in the past or had damage to the testicles and rather cancers – because chemotherapy and radiotherapy can harm fertility.
However, it is thought that one of the main causes of infertility that men decide to have children later in life.
It is estimated that in the last 50 to 70 years there has also been a reduction in sperm quality by 50 percent.
It is believed that this is due to exposure to industrial chemicals such as pesticides, says Professor Suks Minhas, a consultant and urologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London.
These are hormone disruptors, who “can lead to testicular dysgenesis – when the testicles don’t work as they should – who influence fertility and hormone function,” he explained.
