The high content of sodium in food is easy to make brain cells in the state of ischemia and hypoxia for a long time, which leads to memory decline and premature brain failure. The diet should be light and limited to foods with excessive salt, such as salted products, salted fish, etc.
2. Alcoholic beverages
Habitual drinking, alcohol will make the brain volume reduction, weight reduction and mental decline. It is suggested that those who are addicted to alcohol should be enough.

4. Food containing aluminum
Aluminum can inhibit the activity of brain enzymes, make the memory of human body decrease gradually, reduce thinking power, and even induce dementia.

6, MSG
Glutamate, the main component of monosodium glutamate, will produce a substance that can inhibit nerves, affect nervous system and damage brain tissue in the process of human digestion. Especially for infant and pregnant women with immature brain, they should avoid eating food flavored with monosodium glutamate.

8. Acid food

It is suggested that the acid-base ratio of daily diet should be maintained at two to eight, reducing the intake of acidic food such as meat and seafood, and moderately increasing the slightly alkaline food such as fruits and vegetables.
9. High fat food

13. Foods with synthetic pigments
The synthetic pigment will lead to the loss of zinc in baby's body, and zinc is very important for child's intelligence development. In foreign countries, people regard 'synthetic pigment' as an intellectual killer, so there are very strict standards in children's food, but it has not been effectively controlled in China.
