Although children generally have good dietary nutrition now, expert investigations show that many children's brains are damaged by food, affecting brain development. This is due to the frequent consumption of the following foods:

Foods containing lead

Lead is a major "killer" of brain cells. Excessive lead in food can damage the brain and cause intellectual decline.Some children often eat popcorn. During the manufacturing process, the lead on the inner layer of the can, after being heated under high pressure, will turn into gaseous lead.Duck eggsDuring the production process, the raw materials contain lead oxide and lead salts. Lead has a very strong penetrating ability, and eating duck eggs can also affect intelligence.

Foods containing aluminum

The World Health Organization states that the daily intake of aluminum should not exceed 60 milligrams. If you eat 50-100 grams a day,Fried dough sticksthe intake will exceed this limit, leading to memory decline, dull thinking, therefore,Breakfastshould not be based on fried foods.Frequently using aluminum pots to cook and aluminum kettles to boil water, also need to pay attention to the increase in aluminum intake.

Foods containing oxidized lipids

Oxidized lipids are harmful to the human body. If long-term intake of oxidized lipids and accumulation in the body, it can damage certain metabolic enzyme systems in the body, leading to premature brain aging or dementia.Which foods contain more oxidized lipids?The main ones are fried and deep-fried foods with oil temperature above 200℃ and foods that have been exposed to sunlight for a long time, such as smoked fish, roasted duck, and roasted goose.Etc.Also, fish and shrimp fried in oil will quickly oxidize and produce oxidized lipids.Other foods such as dried fish, preserved meat, and foods with high fat content will produce oxidized lipids in the air.It is better for children to avoid or eat less of these foods.Foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG)

Monosodium glutamateIn large quantitiesMSG should be limited, otherwise it can damage brain, liver, and other cell tissues, and even induce bladder cancer.

The World Health Organization previously stated that adults should not consume more than 4 grams of MSG per day, and pregnant women and infants under one year old should not eat it.Animal experiments show that infants under one year old eating MSG may cause brain cell death.Pregnant women in the later stages of pregnancy who eat a lot of MSG will cause zinc deficiency in the fetus, affecting the child's physical and mental development after birth, and hindering intelligence development.Salty food

The human body's physiological need for salt is very low, adults less than 7 grams per day, children less than 4 grams per day, those who are used to eating salty food will not only cause high

bloodpressure, arteriosclerosis, etc., but also damage the blood vessels, affecting the blood supply to the brain, making brain cells long-term in a state of hypoxia and reducing intelligence, memory decline, and even premature aging.Hypertension and other diseases can damage blood vessels, affecting blood supply to the brain and causing brain cells to be in a state of hypoxia and anoxia for a long time, leading to mental dullness, memory loss, and premature aging.
