I'm a 30-year-old and I'm curious about how I might be able to increase the Y chromosomes in my sperm. Can changing my diet help with this? Also, is there a way to test the Y chromosome levels in my sperm?

Increasing the number of Y chromosomes in sperm isn't something that can be directly influenced by food habits. The sex chromosomes in sperm are determined naturally during sperm production. While there's no specific test to check Y chromosomes in sperm, you can opt for sperm sorting methods like sperm sex selection, which is available in some fertility clinics. It's always best to consult a fertility specialist for personalized advice.

View allI'm a 16-year-old struggling with a few issues and hoping for some advice. I've been habitually masturbating for the past 30 months, and I'm wondering if it might be affecting my health. I'm 5'2", but I really want to grow taller. My menstrual cycle is irregular, and I have problems with constipation and insomnia. I also suffer from anxiety, and it doesn't help that I can get angry quickly and have trouble controlling my frustration. I'm quite moody, but I'm also very ambitious about my career. My weight is around 72 kg, and I feel overweight. Despite working out five times a week, I haven't seen any changes. Should I stop masturbating to help with my weight loss and height growth? Given all these things, what do you suggest regarding my masturbation habits?
Akanksha, considering your overall health and concerns, here are some suggestions: Masturbation and Health 1. Moderation is key: Limit masturbation frequency to 1-2 times a week, allowing your body and mind to balance. 2. Understand triggers: Identify emotional triggers (anxiety, frustration, mood swings) and address them through stress management techniques (meditation, deep breathing, exercise). 3. Explore alternative stress relief: Engage in hobbies, creative activities, or sports to manage stress and emotions. Health Concerns 1. Irregular menstrual cycle: Consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying hormonal imbalances. 2. Constipation: Incorporate fiber-rich foods, stay hydrated, and consider probiotics. 3. Insomnia: Establish a consistent sleep schedule, create a relaxing bedtime routine, and avoid screens before bedtime. 4. Anxiety disorder: Continue therapy or consult a psychologist for guidance. 5. Overweight: Focus on balanced diet (whole foods, fruits, veggies) alongside regular exercise. 6. Height growth: While masturbation doesn't directly impact height, prioritize overall health, nutrition, and hormone balance. Additional Suggestions 1. Nutrition: Eat a balanced diet with calcium, vitamin D, and protein-rich foods to support bone growth. 2. Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. 3. Exercise: Continue regular exercise, incorporating stretching and strength training to improve overall health. 4. Mindfulness: Practice mindfulness, meditation, or yoga to manage stress and emotions. 5. Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night. 6. Seek professional help: Consult a pediatrician, gynecologist, or psychologist for personalized guidance.

Oranges have low glycemic index i.e., 43 and are full of fibre, vitamin C, folate and potassium which would help benefit a healthy diabetic eating plan
