After concentrating, add an appropriate amount of white sugar and boil until it becomes stringy. Pour it onto a clean stainless steel plate, smooth it out, cool it and cut it into pieces. Take it regularly.

[Foods to Increase Sperm Count] Sperm is a crucial medium for reproduction and a key factor in determining male fertility. Currently, a significant proportion of infertility cases are caused by low sperm count. The causes of male infertility due to low sperm count are complex, but aside from cases where the cause is identified as a functional disorder, it can usually be addressed through dietary adjustments in daily life.
Arginine is an essential component for sperm formation. Foods high in arginine include eel, loach, squid, ribbonfish, eel, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, octopus, and snails. Other good sources include yam, ginkgo, frozen tofu, and tofu skin. Men with low sperm counts can benefit from consuming more of these arginine-rich foods to increase sperm count and thus improve reproductive function.
In addition, zinc deficiency can also reduce libido and sperm count. Men with low sperm count should first have their zinc levels checked. If it is due to zinc deficiency, they should eat more foods high in zinc. According to nutritional research reports, 100 grams of oysters contain 100 mg of zinc, 100 grams of beef contain 4-8 mg of zinc, the same amount of chicken contains 3 mg, eggs contain 3 mg, chicken liver contains 2.4 mg, peanuts contain 2.9 mg, and pork contains 2.9 mg. These are all ideal foods for supplementing zinc.
[A Balanced Fatty Acid Balance is Beneficial to Health] Many health problems are closely related to an unbalanced diet. Fat is one of the three major energy-providing nutrients for the human body and plays many important physiological roles. More than 90% of fat is composed of fatty acids, which can be divided into saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Among them, oleic acid and linolenic acid, which are polyunsaturated fatty acids, are essential fatty acids for the human body, meaning that the human body cannot synthesize them and must obtain them from food.
There are dozens of types of dietary fatty acids. Some participate in the formation of human tissues, some participate in metabolic processes, and some regulate physiological and biochemical reactions in the body; all of them have certain effects on the human body. Simply evaluating them as "good" or "bad" is unscientific. Different foods have different fatty acid compositions, and no single food can meet all the body's fatty acid needs. Therefore, achieving a balance of fatty acids requires a reasonable dietary approach.
For men, the importance of fatty acid balance can be seen in the following aspects. First, maintaining fat intake based on fatty acid balance is essential for abundant energy. The main function of fat is as an energy source; after being metabolized in the body, it releases a large amount of energy for the body to use, meeting 20% to 50% of an adult's daily energy needs. In addition, fat helps in the digestion and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and fatty acids participate in the formation of brain tissue and body cell membranes, ensuring the normal functioning of all cells in the body.
Dietary fats come from a wide range of sources, including visible fats from cooking oils and invisible fats contained in animal products and nuts. Only when the amount of dietary fat is appropriate (25 grams of cooking oil per person per day), fatty acids are balanced, essential fatty acids are complete, and the proportions of various nutrients are balanced, can the human body maintain a healthy state.
