Foods that interfere with implantation

Every family wants to have children, because only with children can the family be complete. Nowadays, there are many couples suffering from infertility, most of which are caused by their old age. Although human fertility will decline with age, it cannot be denied that lifestyle factors have no effect on fertility. If you don’t want to be unable to have children, you must avoid contact with these. What foods interfere with implantation?

1. Carrots

Carrots are a healthy vegetable that is loved by everyone, but women should eat them with caution. Studies have shown that if women consume large amounts of carrots, it will inhibit ovulation and lead to infertility. In this regard, doctors at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the United States have made the same discovery and believe that excessive carotene will affect the synthesis of progesterone in the ovaries, thereby affecting ovulation.

However, don’t worry too much. As long as you don’t treat it as a staple food every day like rabbits, there is no problem eating it occasionally.

2. Alcohol

The main component of alcohol is ethanol. Excessive intake of ethanol can cause vasospasm in men, testicular dysplasia, and affect spermatogenesis.

3. MSG

The main ingredient of MSG is monosodium glutamate. After glutamate enters the human body, it combines with zinc in the blood to produce zinc glutamate which is excreted from the body, thus leading to zinc deficiency in the human body. Zinc is an important nutrient for the development of infants and young children. On the other hand, long-term zinc deficiency in men will affect pituitary function and cause spermatogenesis disorders.

4. Bitter Melon

Studies have found that bitter melon does have anti-fertility effects. The main substance in it, bitter melon protein, can inhibit endometrial differentiation and interfere with embryo implantation in the early and mid-pregnancy.

5. Fried foods

Fried foods not only make you fat, but the trans fats in them can also increase women's risk of infertility by 70%.

6. Tofu

I never thought that healthy and nutritious tofu would become a "killer" of infertility. George, Harvard School of Public Health

Dr. Chavarro once conducted a six-year study on tofu and surveyed 99 men and concluded that men who eat soy products every day have significantly lower sperm counts than men who eat less soy products.

In this regard, he explained that this is because soy products are rich in isoflavones, which are a type of phytoestrogen. If men consume too much of it, it will affect their male hormone levels. Therefore, men should not eat too much soy products, no more than three times a week, and no more than 100 grams each time.

7. Pig Kidney

Many people agree with the concept of "you are what you eat", so they often regard pig kidneys as a good kidney tonic. Little do people know that it is also a "sperm killer". Pig kidneys, pig testicles and other internal organs contain different amounts of heavy metal cadmium. Once ingested by the human body, it will not only affect the number of sperm, but cadmium will also damage chromosomes and affect conception.

8. Coffee

Although coffee tastes good, drinking it for a long time will affect sperm count and vitality. Researchers have found that the quality and quantity of sperm in men who drink three cups of coffee a day are significantly affected. If these defective sperm combine with the egg, it is likely to cause physical defects in the child.
