JAKARTA– Coffee consumption is often said to have an effect on sperm quality. It turns out that there are several facts that adult men need to know about coffee consumption.
The most popular chemical compound in coffee is known as caffeine. In fact, coffee beans not only contain caffeine but also various other natural ingredients.
The richness of the content in coffee makes coffee consumption can provide benefits to the body. In adult men, coffee consumption is often associated with sexual stamina and sperm quality.
Many studies have been conducted by experts to see the effect of coffee consumption on sperm. Several facts related to the relationship between coffee consumption and sperm quality were revealed by experts.
Here are five facts about the relationship between coffee consumption and sperm according to several sources:
1. Sperm count
There are several observations of researchers that reveal the side effects of coffee consumption on sperm production.
One of them is research published in a journal entitled Human Reproduction in 2017.
It was found that men who drank more than seven cups of coffee per week decreased their sperm count by 16%. The decrease in the number of sperm cells can be seen from the concentration of the sperm which is more dilute.
Meanwhile, men who drank coffee only once a week had more sperm in terms of thickness and live sperm cells.
But recently there are many studies that are deepening this discovery to get more accurate results.
2. Sperm agility
An in vitro study was carried out by a group of experts who published their research results in the National Library of Medicine.
Observations made since 1976 found that caffeine can stimulate the movement of sperm cells.
This means that men who consume coffee regularly have more agile sperm cells. The movement since the sperm cell is released to the egg cell is known to be faster.
So that the percentage of sperm that successfully fertilizes the egg will be even greater compared to men who don’t consume coffee. But this research needs to be continued deeper, especially its application to humans.
3. Increase vitality
The caffeine content in coffee makes the body more excited and the brain experiences increased focus.
The effect of coffee consumption can increase energy including increasing sexual desire in adult men.
In several studies that have been conducted by experts, men who consume coffee have higher testosterone levels.
The benefits of coffee to increase testosterone are also used by athletes to increase energy in their bodies.
The researchers have concluded that when testosterone increases, libido in adult men will also increase. So that adult men will be more passionate when having sex.
4. The risk of infertile sperm
Researchers from Brazil actually found a threat to reduce the risk of sperm fertility in adult men who consume coffee. Through research that took place from 1999-2000, it was found that the effect of reducing sperm was in heavy coffee consumers.
These heavyweight coffee consumers include men who consume more than six cups of coffee per day. Coffee drinkers with 2-3 cups per day have good sperm health.
It was even stated that coffee consumption is an alternative to overcome fertility complaints in men. But if consumed in excess the effect will be inversely proportional.
5. Avoid sugar
The biochemical components in coffee are approved by experts to nourish the body. Including its effect to improve the health of sperm in the male body.
However, all studies reported in journals also say that these benefits will not be obtained if you mix coffee with sugar. Coffee that is nutritious is only pure coffee that is not mixed with sugar, cream or milk.
It’s just that experts say there are several types of spices that can be added to a glass of coffee.
In addition to enriching the taste, the addition of spices can also enhance the benefits of a glass of coffee.
