Vitamins
Minerals and the Reproductive System
|
Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are essential to the development
and performance of the reproductive system. Nutrition plays a role in
the development and maturation of the reproductive system through childhood
and adolescence, and can affect the endocrine system, which regulates
the hormones that rule the functions of the reproductive system. Nutrition
can affect fertility and fetal development, as well. Striving each day
to consume the standard recommended daily intake levels of the vitamins,
minerals and other nutrients that the body needs is an important part
of the good health and proper functioning of the reproductive system.
The nutrients that a child consumes while growing up can affect the
developing reproductive system. Zinc, for example, is essential to the
development of the reproductive organs themselves. A deficiency in zinc
can result in significantly delayed sexual maturation. Zinc also serves
in the regulation of male hormones and has a role in prostate functions
and sperm production. Iodine helps to regulate thyroid function, which
in turn helps to regulate growth and body weight. Body weight has to
do with the onset of puberty, which will not begin until the appropriate
threshold of body weight and fat has been crossed.
The endocrine glands secrete hormones, and hormones are essential to
the functioning of the reproductive system. Thus, endocrine gland health
is a precursor to mature reproductive functioning and health. While
several nutrients are directly associated with the production of hormones,
like manganese, which serves to maintain the production of sex hormones,
many others act as cofactors to a variety of complicated chemical reactions
that carry out the tasks of the reproductive system.
Proper nutrition is essential in fetal development, as well. Folic acid,
for example, can serve to prevent serious birth defects by reducing
the incidence of neural tube defects, such as the type that cause spinal
bifida. However, this defect occurs so early in fetal development that
at the point at which it occurs, the woman has yet to find out that
she is pregnant. Therefore, it is best for any woman of childbearing
age to be especially careful to get enough folic acid each day.
The vitamins that make up the Vitamin B complex have a primary role
in red blood cell production. The developing fetus gets all nourishment
and oxygen via the mother’s blood stream. Therefore, making sure to
keep red blood cell production up to par is important to the reproductive
system, particularly during pregnancy. The nutrients received by the
developing fetus will affect every aspect of his or her being.
Proper nutrition is essential to each part and every stage of the reproductive
system, from development to maturation to the creation and nurturing
of new life. It can be difficult, particularly at the rapid pace of
life today, to get the full amount of each and every vitamin, mineral
and other nutrient that serves to support the reproductive system. However,
nutritional supplements can offer a safe and reliable way to achieve
your dietary goals, when used with care and attention to standard dosage
amounts. It is important to remember that too much can be as damaging
as too little.
