Avoid Carbonated DrinksMale infertility has reached crisis proportions worldwide. Male infertility has been on an ..... About Caffeine:
Naturally caffeine exists as a plant alkaloid. Caffeine is a stimulant, which is xanthine alkaloid in nature. It affects the central nervous system. The affect of caffeine is that it leads to temporarily warding of drowsiness and restoring alertness. In nature caffeine can be found mostly in plants like tea, coffee and cocoa. Among the plant sources, the coffee plant is the most significant source of caffeine where the caffeine content is found to be the highest. However the content of caffeine varies from plant to plant.
Caffeine And Sperm Production:
Caffeine is a natural substance that is found in considerable percentages in cola drinks, soft drinks, chocolates, black teas and coffee. Of all the natural sources of caffeine, the most concentrated amounts are found in coffee. There have been debates and controversies about the relation between caffeine and reduction in sperm count or decrease in the production of sperms. Studies conducted have concluded that even though caffeine's effect on the sperm count depends on the health of a reproductive system of a human. Moreover caffeine can cause hormonal imbalance in a human body. Since caffeine affects the central nervous system that’s why the brain under the effect of caffeine will send deferred signals to the endocrine glands. This in turn will compel the endocrine glands not to secret the hormones in their regular proportions. Thus the testosterone synthesized during this phase will not be enough to produce right amount of sperm. This leads to reduction in the sperm count.
Effect Of Sperm Count On Fertility:
Reduced sperm count adversely effects the fertility of a man. There are millions of sperms, which swim across to reach the area of fertilization where a single sperm fuses with a single egg. But along the way to the female reproductive system the action of the various oxidizing enzymes destroys many of the sperms. Thus if the number of sperms actually reaching the site of fertilization is low then the chances of fertilization also becomes low. Therefore the sperm count should always be high for avoiding infertility in man.
