It is generally accepted that the successful bearing and birth of a child depends entirely on the woman, the future mother. Meanwhile, this process also has a second equally important participant – the father.
Gynecologist Tatyana Ilyukhina told what a man needs to do at the stage of preparation for conceiving a child.
« The first thing a future father needs to do is eliminate all bad habits. Since toxic substances damage the sex cells,” says the doctor.
It is also necessary to normalize the daily routine – you need to get enough sleep, spend more time in the fresh air, add physical activity.
Nutrition is of great importance! A man's diet should include seasonal vegetables and fruits, meat, sources of healthy fatty acids, vegetable oils, nuts, and fish.
It is very important to normalize weight. First of all, this must be done through nutrition and physical activity. Excess weight and a low level of mobility provoke endocrine changes that have a bad effect on the formation of spermatozoa.
