Men who love barbecue, take note. Zhang Weixing, Chairman of the Andrology Society of Henan Medical Association and Professor of Urology at the First Affiliated Hospital, and Wang Rui, Vice Chairman, have pointed out that barbecued and fried starchy foods contain the carcinogenic toxin acrylamide, which can lead to oligospermia and asthenospermia in men. Additionally, heavy metals like cadmium and pesticide residues are toxic to sperm.
Some studies have found that the reduction and decreased motility of sperm in patients with oligoasthenospermia are related to a deficiency of the trace element zinc. Therefore, eating foods rich in zinc, such as oysters, dried shrimp, animal liver, seaweed, sesame, peanuts, and beans, can ensure "vitality" and energy. >>> Five tips from the society to eat barbecue without getting cancer
