Answer:

While no specific studies definitively link high bubble tea consumption to infertility, the drink's high caffeine and sugar content can indirectly impact reproductive health in both men and women. Some research suggests excessive caffeine intake affects the chances of natural conception and the effectiveness of assisted reproductive technologies, increasing the risks of miscarriage and congenital disabilities.

One cup of bubble tea contains approximately 30-50g of sugar, while the recommended daily intake is 25g for women and 36g for men. Diet is closely linked to ovulation and hormone levels. Excessive sugar intake from bubble tea can lead to hormonal imbalances, menstrual irregularities, reduced egg quality, increased risk of obesity and diabetes, and ultimately affect the ability to conceive.

If you are trying to conceive, you should follow a healthy diet, which includes avoiding excessive bubble tea consumption. The recommended caffeine intake for women is no more than 167mg per day. Women trying to conceive or who are pregnant should limit their caffeine intake and even consider eliminating caffeine-containing foods and beverages. If you still want to drink bubble tea, choose low-sugar options and avoid excessive consumption.

Prioritize fresh fruit juices and consume plenty of fresh fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, guava, and citrus fruits to supplement your body with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Drink plenty of water to support metabolism. Your diet should include a variety of proteins, lean meats, and green vegetables. Limit foods high in sugar and processed foods high in fat. Maintain light physical activity to improve overall health and reduce stress and fatigue.

Infertility is diagnosed when a couple has regular unprotected sex for a year, or six months for women over 35, without conceiving. You and your partner should consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis of the cause of the delay in conception. Depending on the cause and medical condition, the doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan to help you conceive a healthy child.
