Good eating habits can enable the body to take in comprehensive and balanced nutrition, and enable the brain to develop soundly. And bad eating habits can destroy and hinder the intake of various nutrients, make the body and the brain insufficient nutrient supply, cause mental retardation, and damage the brain health. The poor eating habits that affect children's intellectual development mainly include the following.

Partial eclipse: is also called picky eater. Chinese medicine refers to the long-standing partial eclipse habit as "epiphagia". Partial eclipse mostly occurs in childhood. Some don’t like vegetables, fruits, eggs, tofu, milk, or soy milk; some don’t eat green onions, garlic, or fish; some don’t like porridge or Vegetable soup, broth; others only eat rice, do not eat pasta and miscellaneous grains, or even drink boiled water and so on. They are accustomed to "single-to-one" in eating. They eat especially the foods they like, overeat, and eat little or not at all for the things they don't like. The most fatal shortcoming of
-the diet is too simple. According to the survey, more than 80% of families with special children have poor eating habits. Mainly manifested in the dietary structure is too simple, poor eating habits. The diet structure is basically the same every day, and there are no more than five. The most terrible thing is that parents mainly cook according to their own eating habits rather than the developmental needs of special children!
The metabolism of the brain needs comprehensive nutrition to complete, and it is indispensable. Therefore, chicken, fish, meat, eggs, rice and white noodles, omnivorous foods, vegetables, fruits, and seafood, etc., must be eaten. The more assorted foods, the better, and the more varieties the better. Diversified foods and diets can complement each other. To the "complementary" role. Because one type of food can only provide part of the nutrients, eating more varieties can meet the different needs of the body.

Satiation: Over-satisfaction with three meals a day can cause excessive nutrient intake, which exceeds the body's needs. Over-nutrition over time will result in obesity. Further development can accelerate blood vessel hardening and threaten the brain. At the same time, satiation can make a large amount of blood stay in the stomach and intestines for too long to help digestion, and the blood flowing to the brain is correspondingly reduced, which reduces the nutrition and oxygen obtained by the brain, which can affect brain development. According to related scientific research findings, satiety can induce a large amount of secretion of a kind of "fibroblast growth factor" in the brain. This substance can promote the proliferation of blood vessel wall cells, narrow the lumen, weaken the blood supply capacity, and aggravate hypoxia. Only by avoiding fullness can the secretion of this substance be reduced. As the saying goes, well-developed limbs and simple mind are related to eating habits.

Too much sweets : Sweets are mostly made from sugar. Eat some sugary foods in moderation to help brain development (for example, glucose converted from sugar is the energy source for brain cells). If the brain lacks glucose, it will cause functional disorders. But the intake of sugar is not the better. Because eating too much sugar, it can be converted into fat in the body. First, it can accelerate the hardening of blood vessels. Second, it can change the weakly alkaline state of body fluids into acidic physique, causing decreased brain function and lower intelligence. Nowadays, many parents "love" their children, and they often buy foods based on sweets, such as cakes, biscuits, fruit buns, chocolate, jelly, jams, etc.; most of them drink cola-type and carbonated-type foods in bottles or cans. Sugar drinks, so most of them eat too much sugar, which is extremely disadvantageous for special children who are learning with their brains. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the control of children's sweets and sugary drinks.

Fried food : Because of the short morning hours in many families, breakfast is mostly fried dough sticks, oil cakes, sugar cakes, and fried eggs, fried peanuts and other fried foods, which will be very harmful to the growth and development of children in the long run. The oil used in deep-frying food is mostly repeatedly fried, mixed with new oil, and mixed with old oil. Not only high-temperature frying itself can produce strong carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, but also repeated frying aging oil It also contains carcinogenic poisons; in addition, aluminum-containing baking powder (aluminum is harmful to brain cells) and ingredients containing lipid peroxides should be added during the production of fried dough sticks. Long-term consumption of this food can promote the aging and death of brain cells. Therefore, fried foods cannot be eaten daily.
5
Snacks containing too much lead : Children who eat foods that contain too much lead are prone to memory loss, inability to concentrate, slow reactions, insomnia, irritability, headaches, and damage to the optic nerve, which will affect the child's intellectual development over time. Popcorn, preserved eggs, canned food, puffed foodFoods, foods wrapped in newspapers, and vegetables produced on both sides of the road are all lead-rich foods.
6
Snacks containing hormones : Children eating too many foods containing hormones can easily lead to precocious puberty. Precocious puberty will not only cause the child to grow too fast, the bones will be closed in advance, and the final height will be lower than normal, but the premature appearance of the secondary sexual characteristics may cause the child to have psychological disorders, which is not conducive to normal play and learning. Fried chicken, chicken necks, duck necks, snow clams, bird's nests, silkworm pupas, bovine colostrum, royal jelly, pollen preparations, and off-season fruits are among the snacks with more hormones.
