Does roasted lamb kidney nourish the kidneys? Is it good to eat animal offal often?

Barbecue is a delicacy loved by many young people, especially roasted lamb kidneys, which are very popular among men. Because many boys believe that what you eat is what you nourish, eating roasted lamb kidneys is especially good for the kidneys for men, but is this statement correct? Most people don’t know that roasted lamb kidneys are good for the kidneys, but they cannot be eaten often. Eating them often will cause harm to your health. Let’s take a closer look at it below!

Recently, some experts have pointed out that we should have a scientific understanding of the nutritional value and dangers of animal offal. Although animal offal has unique nutritional components, it contains heavy metal cadmium, which can cause infertility in men.

"Waist" is the favorite of many men

The concept of "you are what you eat" is deeply rooted in our country, and many men like to eat animal offal, especially "kidneys", which have always been regarded as a treasure for male aphrodisiac.

High levels of heavy metals in internal organs

Because animal offal contains a large amount of sex hormones and adrenal cortex hormones, it can enhance sperm motility and increase sexual desire. It is a folk-recognized aphrodisiac and a common food on people's tables.

However, animal organs that seem to have aphrodisiac effects actually pose a risk of infertility. Recently, experts in Taiwan pointed out that the livers and kidneys of pigs, cattle and sheep all contain different levels of heavy metal cadmium.

“Cadmium can induce degenerative changes in the structure and function of male testicles, epididymis and other tissues and organs, ultimately leading to a decline in reproductive capacity.”

In addition to heavy metal cadmium, lead can also directly act on the testicles, the core organ of the male reproductive system, causing a decrease in sperm count, an increase in sperm deformity, and a weakening of sperm activity, affecting fertility.

Theoretically, the human body has a certain detoxification ability, and toxic substances will not accumulate in the body. However, if consumed in excess, the body's own detoxification ability will be insufficient, causing toxic substances to accumulate in the body. When it reaches a certain amount, it will show an explosive effect.

Not only heavy metals, animal offal also has high levels of fat and cholesterol. Animal offal is easily contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms and parasites. If it is not cooked thoroughly, it will increase people's chances of contracting diseases.

Some people eat animal offal with the mentality of "what you eat will replenish what you gain", but kidney patients should not eat too many animal kidneys, because patients with renal insufficiency need to limit their nutritional intake.

Animal kidneys have high cholesterol levels, and eating too much may increase the burden on the kidneys and further deteriorate kidney function.

The effects on sperm are reversible

There are many causes of oligospermia and asthenospermia, the most common ones are varicocele, genital tract inflammation and infection, immunosuppression, endocrine disorders, and taking foods and medicines that affect sperm production. The causes of oligospermia and asthenospermia should be systematically examined before symptomatic treatment can be given.
