Here are the food items you should avoid to have healthy brain,
There is no reason to ever eat food items that list “partially hydrogenated oils” in their ingredients list. It’s code for trans fats which in addition to increasing your risk for obesity and damaging your heart health, can cause serious brain drain.
Processed Foods
Most foods today are actually being processed already. Talking about practicality, it is convenient to have processed foods in the table. There is nothing wrong in eating these kind of foods. However, chemically processed foods are not that safe anymore especially if you are taking too much of it. It can hurt your brain. Why is that? Chemically processed foods are loaded with added sugar and worse, high fructose corn syrup.
Added Sugar
The not-so-sweet stuff can cause constant insulin spikes and inflammation that results in both vascular and neuronal damage. Large amounts of sugar cause the hippocampus, the brain’s memory control center, to become inflamed, meaning it can’t work at 100 percent.
MSG
If you love Asian cuisine, you must be careful on choosing foods that are high in MSG because most of the Asian foods contain a lot of MSG. It is an excitotoxin that actually affects your brain chemistry through overexciting your cells to the point of brain damage.
Uncontrollable intake of MSG can cause obesity, eye damage, headaches, fatigue and disorientation, and depression.
Saturated Fat
Again, a little is okay, but a diet high in saturated fat can decrease the brain’s ability to fight the formation of Alzheimer’s-linked brain plaque, according to a 2013 JAMA Neurology. But an onslaught of saturated fat also hurts your brain in the short-term
Copper and Iron Supplements
Take these only when a physician advises you to, according to a Neurobiology of Aging report on the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease. These minerals are important for our health, but too much may be harmful. Excessive copper and other heavy metals like iron can hinder the clearance of beta-amyloid, a type of plaque that may block certain cell communications and lead to nerve cell death.
