People are at risk of extinction because of the risk of infertility increases by 60%.
Reduced sperm count means the lower the chance of getting pregnant - this is what is happening to humans.
Currently, the world population is 7 billion people. We are one of the largest races in the world, so it is hard to imagine how humanity can face the risk of extinction.
However, new research by experts from Hebrew University (Israel) has warned that humanity will soon face extinction, if the amount of sperm in each peak continues to decrease with speed. like nowadays.
More specifically, experts found that sperm count in Western men (USA, Europe, Australia .) has now decreased by more than half compared to 1970 figures . The sperm count is the most effective number to evaluate male fertility.
The quality of male sperm has decreased by more than half compared to the figures in 1970.
According to Dr. Hagai Levine, this is really a wake-up call, because the agents that affect sperm intake are unhealthy lifestyles, chemicals and surroundings . If not careful, our race will be extinct.
"If we don't change the way we live and limit the amount of toxic chemicals we have to come into contact with every day, it's probably time for us to worry about the future of humanity," Levine said.
"I think this is really a wake-up call, because I'm personally worried about the future of extinction of humanity when environmental issues are very popular."
To conclude, Levine's team delved into the data of more than 185 studies between 1973 and 2011 relating to the number and density of male sperm in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
As a result, the average sperm count decreased by 59.3%, the density decreased by 52.4% during the whole period. In addition, the speed of change has no sign of slowing down. However, it is noteworthy that in South America, Asia and Africa do not recognize this phenomenon.
The rate of infertility is rising.
This study does not delve into the cause of sperm decline, but experts believe there is a link to an unhealthy environment and lifestyle. In particular, the frequency of exposure to toxic chemicals every day (smoke, alcohol, stimulants .) and increasing obesity rates in the West are typical examples.
According to Levine, many recent studies have shown that sperm count may be related to illness, which is the ability of infertility to affect human health.
"Declines in sperm are becoming a major concern in the last 25 years. This is the first study to show the truth, that this decline is very strong with an increasing trend." - Dr. Shanna H Swan from Mount Sinai Hospital (New York) shared.
From this study, we must realize something very clearly: an unhealthy lifestyle can make you infertile. Practice revival, if you don't want it to happen.
