Results: Modern processed diets deplete Shukra Dhatu, while nutrient-rich foods like dairy, nuts, and fruits enhance it. Improper food combinations disrupt digestion and accumulate toxins, harming Shukra Dhatu. Similarly, balanced exercise, sleep, and stress management support also Shukra Dhatu, whereas sedentary habits, irregular sleep, and toxins harm it. Conclusion: The shift towards modern dietary and lifestyle practices has contributed to increased oxidative stress, endocrine disruptions, and obesity, all of which are linked to male infertility.
