Al-Marsad Newspaper: Russian neurologist Yekaterina Demyanovskaya revealed that some substances negatively affect the functioning of the brain, even indirectly, such as salt, animal fats, and even sushi.

the salt

She indicated that salt is the most dangerous for the brain. That is, home and industrial canned food, sauces, pickles, dried fish, and potato chips negatively affect brain function because they contain a high percentage of salt. So it helps with high arterial blood pressure or chronic high blood pressure.

She says: “When the level of blood pressure rises, the blood vessels narrow and their number in the brain gradually decreases, which leads to a decrease in the amount of blood that reaches parts of the brain, so arterial hypertension is a risk factor for dementia.”

animal fats

According to her, animal fats can be dangerous to the functioning of the brain. Therefore, it is necessary to eat it in moderation. Indeed, without meat, liver, animal fats, butter, and egg yolks, neurons cannot function normally, producing neurotransmitters for the hormones serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine that regulate mood, appetite, sleep, and memory.

sushi

According to her, another food item that is dangerous for the brain is sushi. Because although fish and seafood contain unsaturated fatty acids necessary for the regeneration of nerve cells and the synthesis of neurotransmitters, they are mixed with white rice, which contains a small percentage of vitamin B1 that does not remain in sushi due to the thiaminease enzyme present in raw fish. .

She says: “Vitamin B1 is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses, and its deficiency can lead to poor memory, insomnia, muscle pain, anxiety and depression. Therefore, sushi lovers are advised to add foods rich in vitamin B1 such as meat, nuts, dried fruits, milk and cheese to their diet.”
