Food that kill intelligence

Processed or pre-cooked foods: Just like fried foods, processed or pre-cooked foods also impact your central nervous system and they also increase the risk of developing a degenerative brain disorder later in life (such as Alzheimer’s disease).

Very salty foods: Everybody knows that salty foods affect your blood pressure and they are very hard on your heart. However, as research suggests, foods that contain high amounts of salt (sodium) can affect your cognitive function and impair your ability to think. Otherwise stated, salty foods affect your intelligence! As a matter of fact, the consumption of salty foods and nicotine has been shown to have the same effects as drugs, as they cause harsh withdrawal symptoms and cravings for salty foods.


Grains, except 100% whole grain: All sorts of grains have an impact on your brain functioning and your overall health, except for 100 per cent whole grain, which is very rich in fibre and it is known to prevent arterial ageing. If you consume regular grains, your body risks ageing quicker than it should and you can also experience memory loss and brain fog. Processed proteins; Proteins are the building blocks of muscles and they are very important for the proper functioning of your body. Meat is the richest source of high-quality protein, but avoid overly processed protein such as hot dogs, salami, sausages and such. Unlike the natural proteins that help your body insulate the nervous system, processed proteins do exactly the opposite. Opt for natural fish (especially tuna and salmon), dairy, walnuts and seeds as these are natural, high-quality protein sources.
