News 24 For the health of the brain and the power of memory … Reduce these foods

Olive oil, wild salmon, broccoli and avocado are known to improve memory, but what types are harmful to brain health?

Reader's Digest has published a list of major foods that have adverse effects on the brain, including sugar-sweetened sweet potatoes, french fries and tuna.

Sugar substances: Mainly soft drinks, fruit juices and energy drinks. Large amounts of sugar damage the nervous system as they cause inflammation.

Unsaturated fatty acids: Food manufacturers use unsaturated fatty acids to prolong the life of their products and give them attractive flavors, but this is detrimental to the health of the brain. Consuming large amounts of fatty acids found in cakes, cookies and muffins has effects on brain health.

Fish rich in mercury: Eating tuna from time to time is not harmful, but experts recommend not to repeat it on the table because mercury in tuna, shark and swordfish is toxic and can accumulate and destroy the brain if it is consumed in large quantities.

Refined carbohydrates: White bread, rice and pasta are substances that should be reduced to maintain a healthy brain. They quickly absorb blood, increase blood sugar levels and insulin. The higher the blood sugar level, the higher the risk of diabetes, which is related to studies on Alzheimer's disease.

quick meals: High levels of saturated fats in hamburgers and "fried" foods such as potatoes reduce the body's resistance to Alzheimer's disease, and fast food causes high blood sugar.
