HOW TIGHT FITTING UNDERWEAR COULD MAKE YOU INFERTILE

I promised not to stop on my previous article on the causes of infertility. Infertility is widely becoming an issue in our homes. I hear parent’s advice their children to ensure they test their partners (sexually) before confirming her as a wife or taking her to the altar. Where is LOVE? Story for another day. Let me stick to my niche. There are so many other factors which could lead to infidelity ignorantly, let’s examine some here.

STRESS

A lot of clinical research has been done to this effect showing that stress creates a lot of vicious cycle of messed up hormones that help sabotage the male fertility on different levels. Starting from different important hormone centres in the brain (Pituitary gland and Hypothalamus). Excessive stress affects testicular cells which oversee sperm production process. The end result is a decrease in testosterone level which thereby, affects sperm production. The hormone imbalance could leave sperm and sensitive testicular cells exposed to free radicals and oxidative stress. Free radicals are never kind as they destroy whatever they touch in our bodies, so having sufficient defences against them is the baseline for long term health.

Hence, you are advised to seek for any stress-relieving modality that will fit your schedule. Meditation, relaxation, exercise and distressing modes should be applied to your routine to help boost your sperm.

Excessive Heat

Have you tried imagining or asking yourself a question as regards why you have the testicles below the abdomen. The answer is not far-fetched as the sperm is sensitive to heat and even the body temperature can sabotage its efficient production. So you need to avoid things that raise scrotal temperature. Having hot baths, using heated car seats, electric blankets should be avoided if you’re planning to have a baby. Tight Fitting underwear is clearly a hindrance to sperm production and motility. Opt for loose fitting underwear and pants. They are conservative but an effective way to lower scrotal temperature and boost production.

Heavy Metals and Toxins

This is one of the fastest ways to poison the sperm and drop sperm count very fast. Toxins could come from food, the air (If you work or live in a sealed exclusively air-conditioned building) or even water. Apart from trying to eliminate the possible sources of toxicity in your life like checking your water, food, also ensure that you have a good detoxification program which will help you get rid of the toxic burden. You could contact your Nutritionist for help.

Drug Use

Anabolic steroids taken to stimulate muscle strength and growth can cause the testicles to shrink and decrease sperm production. Use of cocaine or marijuana might reduce the number and quality of your sperm. The bouncers would explain better.

Occupation

Certain occupations are linked with a risk of infertility, including welding or those associated with prolonged sitting, such as truck driving, customer service jobs etc.

Weight

Obesity can impair fertility in several ways including directly impacting sperm and by causing hormone changes that reduce male fertility.

 In summary, I will just give a brief list of factors which could lead to infertility below:

• Smoking 
• Drinking alcohol
• Using certain illicit drugs
• Overweight
• Having certain past or present infections
• Stress
• Being exposed to toxins
• Overheating the testicles
• Having experienced trauma to the testicles
• Being born with a fertility disorder or having a blood relative with a fertility disorder
• Having certain medical conditions, including tumors and chronic illnesses
• Undergoing cancer treatments, such as radiation
• Taking certain medications
• Having a prior vasectomy or major abdominal or pelvic surgery
• Having a history of undescended testicles

WAYS TO BOOST YOUR FERTILITY

Women in every home tend to take the blames for infidelity or fertility in a home hence, majority of fertility treatment are for women but truth must be told, men tend to have more of the problems, not female. Low sperm quality is becoming a norm among men globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2010 recently adjusted the reference values of what should be considered normal sperm clearly reflecting the significant drop in the average sperm quality in populations around the world.

Our modern way of life is taking a toll on our health and that is a fact, the toxins we are exposed to through our food, water or air and of course inappropriate diet, some of our technology based devices cannot be left out. Luckily for the men, sperm count, motility and morphology can indeed improve fast because it responds well to our life style and diet.

To improve the quality of your sperm and increase the quantity, the following tips are a starting point for improvement.

ALCOHOL DRINKS, COFFEE, CIGARETTES

Caffeine, Cigarettes and alcohol are very popular lifestyle and part of our modern urban culture. Unfortunately research has proved that they decrease conception rate and harm fertility. If you are an addict of coffee and a few drinks in the evening after work or during work, you are advised to cut back on these habits as much as you can. You will be doing your sperm a very huge favor. If you must stick to coffee, I recommend the ALKALINE COFFEE as it is free of caffeine, helps boost sperm motility and increases your sexual strength.

EXERCISE

Especially in this part of the world, we take exercise for granted. Exercise helps solve lot of our health problems consciously and otherwise. Regular exercise helps boost fertility in both male and female. An inactive and sedentary lifestyle are relative to a lot of bad health which results to diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension or Obesity which are more than certain to reduce fertility. Moderate exercise helps you to relax and normalizes male hormones which in turn help the body produce better quality sperm. Exercise helps with blood sugar metabolism, which is essential for optimal sperm production. Work out your heart and muscles on a regular basis at least 3 to 4 times per week and you are sure of being a baby making machine.

OXIDATIVE STRESS

Testicular cells and sperm are vulnerable to oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Life in the city is stressful and hence you require additional antioxidants. This is why many male fertility boosting supplements are essentially based on providing large doses of strong antioxidants. Selenium and zinc are minerals with major antioxidants. Vitamin C and E are well known for battling oxidative stress on a cellular level. A good quality supplement like C24/7, COMPLETE and many others will help.

HOW RICE HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS

 I was recently asked a question about rice, weight loss and gain and I decided to shed more light on it to the entire public. I found out that some of the best-tasting foods are actually some of the worst in terms of fat and calories. But it can be hard to avoid them especially at our homes or malls where nutrition information usually isn’t available. So I decided to list a few meals to educate my lovely readers.

White Rice

I’m sure eyes must be rolling now, this is by rating the most common and consumed type of meal. Many of us tend to assume that rice is healthy but the nutritional value of rice is actually dependent on the type of rice chosen. White rice helps your body to store excess fat that the body does not require and make it harder to lose weight. Rice has little nutritional value and it is hence advised to opt for brown rice if you want to boost your overall health. Brown rice is full of fiber, vitamins and other nutrients beneficial to the body. The fiber content in brown rice helps you to feel full and satisfied longer thereby reducing your tendency of eating much. The plant lignans in brown rice could also help in reducing the risk of developing heart disease. Brown rice is classified as whole grain meal which our body requires 50% of it every day.

White Bread

This might shock you, but it’s a fact. It does not have any nutritional value. It contains lots of sugar and doesn’t have the ability to keep you satisfied, so within a few hours your appetite craves for a meal. Research over a period of time has shown that white bread consumers are likely to gain unwanted weight over a period of time. Nutritionally people who are willing to slim down are advised to replace your white bread with whole grain or whole wheat whenever possible, as whole wheat bread is good for your health. Diabetic patients are hence are advised to keep off from white bread.

High Fructose Corn Syrup

This is a common sweetener that is often found in popular sodas, baked goods, pasta sauces and processed foods (for my friends who love junk meals). High Fructose corn syrup can quickly cause you to gain extra weight and even stimulate an increased craving for sugar or sugary foods. There are also justified concerns that overeating sugary foods and food high in fructose corn may even increase your risk of suffering from diabetes or developing other health problems. Due to the fact that high fructose corn syrup may increase triglyceride levels, it could also be linked to a higher likelihood of heart disease. Try to avoid any processed sugars and opt for healthier dessert options such as fresh fruits, water and berries. When it comes to finding alternatives to sodas that contain high fructose corn syrup, you have a few different options.

Cream-based Salad Dressings

Weight loss patients resolve to the consumption of salad as it is known to be nutritious and are low in calories but it is advised not to believe that all salads are healthy as they could turn the table around when it comes to weight reduction especially when they are drenched in cream dressing. These types of dressings indeed add a lot of flavor to salads make your meal enjoyable but it is crucial to remember that they contain lots of fats and calories which could undermine your attempt to shed excess weight.

Fried Foods

This is a common tale among people who are willing to shed weight but people don’t know the extent of how unhealthy it could be aside from increasing weight. Fried meals are associated with higher cholesterol and high blood pressure both of which diminishes your cardiovascular health and make you likely to suffer chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart attack or failure, heart diseases or strokes. Fried foods can also upset digestive system, leading to uncomfortable acid reflux and potentially exacerbating the cramps or gas pains associated with irritable bowel syndrome. If you want to improve your health, avoid frying your meals, you could rather bake or boil. It is often said that one French fry is worse for your health than one cigarette.

OAT MEAL AND WEIGHT LOSS

A good day is sometimes determined by our breakfast which provides a long lasting energy till noon. Nutrionists claim that breakfast is a very important aspect of our lives as it does not only set the pace for our daily routine work, it also sets the body metabolism of our body in active mode.

I have heard of people who are looking for weight loss, impose a compulsory religious FAST on themselves while some often make a mistake of skipping the breakfast. Sincerely, this have a reverse impact on your body/health and increases the unhealthy cravings for the day ahead. Taking care of your breakfast is mandatory if you are interested in weight loss.

Going through a quick study recently from Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism. Oatmeal was described as the best breakfast for weight loss patients. A research was conducted on 3 groups of 36 men and women.

The 1^st group had oatmeal for breakfast, 2^nd group had cornflakes and the 3^rd had only water breakfast. The satiety of the groups was recorded after 3 hours. Their blood sample was taken to check the blood sugar and insulin level. All the groups were then given the same lunch after the test.

Based on the sample, the result showed that the group which consumed oatmeal had fewer cravings till afternoon and consumed 31% fewer calories for lunch. Oatmeal is a miraculous meal for breakfast for people with excess weight, it helps reduces around 50% of calorie consumption at lunch. Oatmeal has some beneficial elements which increases blood glucose level and makes it stay in the stomach for a longer time.

Oats is not just the combination of pulp and flakes, it is the tasty breakfast that goes well with any kind of meal. You can use it as a salad, stew or side dish depending on you.

HOW TO BURN BELLY FAT

One of the most common questions I get is how to lose belly fat.I stand to be corrected as a child making a wish of who you desire to marry, im very sure 99% of us will never indicate that we want our wife or husband to have a big belly. Belly fat is actually the most dangerous type of fat – besides aesthetics, large waist lines are indicators. It takes more than just crunches! We start to gain weight in our midsection when our cortisol levels spike. Stress is one of the primary culprits for high levels of cortisol secretion. When this happens cortisol breaks downs lean muscle (the type of tissue that burns calories most efficiently) and also holds on to fat storage in the abdominal region. That stress can even get WORSE with bad dieting; studies show that the stress caused by dieting can increase cortisol levels, making no change in belly fat even with calorie restriction.

So how do you shape up? Incorporate these 6 things below and you will be on your way to a flatter belly in no time flat!

1. Sleep

If you want to work late at night, think again. When your biorhythms are off, you end up eating more. When you’re tired you produce more ghrelin, which triggers cravings for sugar and other fat-building foods. Losing sleep can also alter your hormone production, affecting your cortisol levels that cause insulin sensitivity, prime reasons for belly fat! Getting about 7 hours of sleep a night is one of the best things you can do for your body shaping goals.

2. Short bursts of exercises

1000 crunches a night may get you strong abdominal muscles, but with a full layer of fat on top, you will not get the results you really want. Instead of all those crunches, do exercises that engage multiple muscle groups and work your cardiovascular system. Try planking, where you hold yourself in a push-up position, resting your forearms on the ground. Try 3 or 4 sets of holding for 30 seconds each. Getting up and moving throughout the day by going for walks will also help.For married people, engage in sex positions that will help burn out the calories of the belly(Contact me for more info). Please note that exercise is a continuous thing.

3. Sugar is your Enemy

Fighting belly fat is 80% healthy diet. Reduce calories by filling yourself up with protein, vegetables, whole grains, and replacing bad habit snacks with good ones. For example, if you have a sugar craving, replace your calorie laden latte with a Muscle Milk lite, one of my favorites, because it has zero sugar and a ton of protein that will satiate while also torching my sugar craving! Another great trick is your morning Livren coffee or oatmeal. It helps stabilize blood sugar. It also slows the rate at which food exits the stomach, which helps you feel fuller longer.

4. Vitamin C

When you’re under extreme stress, you secrete more cortisol hormone. Vitamin C helps balance the cortisol spikes that happen to you under this stress. Besides being a good way to counteract a cold, Vitamin C is also essential for making carnitine, a compound used by the body to turn fat into fuel, making this vitamin your fat burning friend.

If you’re going through an emotional crisis, stress from work, or a bad eating splurge, increase your vitamin C – it’ll help counteract the negative side effects. Try bell peppers, kale or kiwi fruits. These have even more Vitamin C than the famous Orange!

5. Eat Fat

Yup, you heard me! It takes fat to burn fat. Like I said above, it’s sugar that gets you fat, not fat. Good fats include foods rich in Omega 3′s, like salmon, avocados & walnuts. These foods are full of nutrients that help keep you satiated throughout the day.

6. Slowing down your breath

This is a very simple method that you can use even when you’re in the midst of doing something else. Whenever you notice you’re feeling tense and uptight check and see how you’re breathing. Most people under stress either alternate holding their breath with short breaths, or take rapid shallow breaths. After you become aware of your own breathing, consciously relax your belly and slow down the breathing. This works best if you focus on slowing down the exhalation rather than your inhalation. With each exhalation you can say to yourself “slow down”. That is all there is to it- Simple but surprisingly effective!!!
