According to traditional Western medicine, the main components of semen are: protein, nucleic acids, glucose, water, but also contains ascorbic acid (vitamin C), calcium, chlorine, cholesterol, choline, blood group antigens, citric acid, ammoniacal acid, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), fructose, myo-inositol, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, purines, pyrimidines, pyruvic acid, sodium, sorbitol, seminal vinyls, urea, uric acid, vitamin B12. And zinc, etc. Mature human spermatozoa are shaped like tadpoles, about 60 micrometers long, consisting of a head containing the genetic material of the parent and a tail with motor function, divided into four parts: head, neck, middle and tail. The acrosome is a cap-like structure covering the anterior 2/3 of the head, which is a kind of specialized lysosome, encapsulated by a unit membrane, the layer immediately encapsulating the cell membrane is the acrosomal outer membrane, and the layer close to the nuclear membrane is the acrosomal inner membrane. The narrow lumen between the inner and outer membranes contains acrosomal material, which contains a variety of hydrolytic enzymes and glycoproteins, such as hyaluronidase, sialidase, acid phosphatase, acrosin, β-aspartyl-N-acetylaminoglucosamine-amino hydrolase, ATPase, and radial crown-penetrating enzyme, collectively referred to as acrosomal enzymes. Sperm also contains common amino acids and other substances inside the composition.

Some experts pointed out that from the perspective of nutrients, the nutrition of a discharge of semen is not as nutritious as a glass of milk, so it was concluded that the leakage of semen is harmless to the body, a glass of milk, nutritional replenishment back. This conclusion at first glance, seems to make sense. But a careful analysis, found that there are questionable.

For example, to an old man in his eighties drink a glass of milk, can also produce as many sperm as young people? Obviously not. The human body is like a factory, where diet is the raw material and semen is the product, and the intermediate process requires labor, water, electricity and other energy consumption. Like a CD-ROM containing a wealth of content, it will be broken down after the composition of the same composition with a plastic lunch box from the scrap yard, but the value of the two can be equal? Can the value of a pile of raw materials such as bricks and mortar, steel bars and cement be equated with the value of a building constructed with these raw materials? Therefore, only consider the factor of raw materials, the intermediate processing of the various aspects of energy consumption to be ignored, is clearly debatable.

Please see the following formula:

Eating the necessary nutrients + synthesis by the body = essence

Matter + Energy = Semen

Obviously, for the production of semen, nutrition alone is not enough, but also requires synthesis by the body, and this synthesis process requires energy. This ability to synthesize is called vitality in Chinese medicine! That is, the power of the human body to synthesize and give birth. Skin broken will automatically heal, the body has a disease can be self-repair, puberty meals increase, height and weight increase ...... this is the human body is the embodiment of vitality. With vitality, life has vitality; lack of vitality, life will be aging.

A lot of things with the decomposition of the eyes, there is no vitality. For example, wheat seeds, buried in the ground in the spring can germinate and grow; after decomposition, it is found to contain nothing more than some proteins, carbohydrates, fats and so on. But bury a pill containing various nutrients from wheat in the earth, and it will not germinate for 10,000 years, because there is a lack of vitality inside the pill, and there is no life force.

Therefore, in the field of life sciences, it is very one-sided to look at things only in terms of material decomposition. As we all know, the human body consists of various elements such as calcium, protein, fat, water, etc., and it takes eighteen years to grow from a baby to adulthood; and it takes less than half a year to consume all these nutrients that make up the human body; can a baby grow into an eighteen-year-old lad in half a year? Obviously not.

A great key to vitality, therefore, lies in the ability to synthesize. The idea of paying attention only to the decomposed components and forgetting the energy required to synthesize them is one-sided. If we mechanically equate semen with the nutritional value of a glass of milk, we cannot help but ask: if the combination of sperm and egg can give birth to new life, can milk?

There is a so-called “masturbation is not excessive injury to the essence”, here the injury of the “essence”, refers not only to the semen inside the nutrients, more importantly, damage to the human body's vitality, vitality, the ancients called: “Kidney Qi! ”, “vitality”, “true yang”. The ancients said “a drop of semen and ten drops of blood”, not that a drop of semen and ten drops of blood nutritional equivalent, but refers to the synthesis of a drop of semen and synthesis of ten drops of blood required by the energy, vitality is equivalent, very valuable. Because a human being has to pass on his or her life, the information and energy contained within semen is necessarily the most sophisticated and abundant, and it can generate a new life, and is therefore a high concentration of matter and energy. Therefore, the energy and vitality required for synthesis will be particularly high. Therefore, the ancients recommended abstinence from precious semen in order to preserve energy and vitality and not to lose it easily, so that the body can be healthy and prolong life.
