British scientists believe that the pH of human body fluids is related to IQ. In the range allowed by the acidity of body fluid, the IQ is low when it is acidic; I have a high IQ when it is alkaline. When scientists observed 42 boys aged 6 to 13, they found that the IQ of body fluids in the brain was twice as high as that below 7.0.
Because the acidity and alkalinity of body fluids can be regulated by diet, scientists put forward suggestions to improve the diet structure and eat more alkaline foods to improve the intelligence level.
Scientists advise children to eat less fish and meat and more soy products and dairy products; Eat less greasy food and more fruits and vegetables; Eat less sweets and more seafood. This eating habit is conducive to the improvement of people's IQ, especially children.
Professor Donglian Cai, director of the Nutrition Department and doctoral supervisor of Changhai Hospital affiliated to the Second Military Medical University, believes that this view of British scientists is correct. Acidic food produces negative ions after metabolism, and when the negative ions increase, the ph value will decrease. On the contrary, alkaline food will produce cations after metabolism. If the cation rises, the ph value will increase. Eating more alkaline food can improve IQ, which is not only suitable for children, but also suitable for everyone.
Professor Cai introduced that food can be divided into alkaline, neutral and acidic according to its elemental composition. Foods containing potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium are alkaline foods, such as fruits, vegetables, bean products, dairy products, kelp and alkaline drinks. Foods containing phosphorus, chlorine, sulfur and iodine are acidic foods, such as meat, grain, oil and wine.
The fetus will feel it in about 3 months. When the mother touches the abdominal wall, the fetus will respond by kicking. By 4 months, the fetus will be aware of external sounds and feel any sound that can pass through the mother. This is because the ability of human blood to transmit sound waves is much greater than that of air. This kind of sound constantly stimulates the fetal sensory organs and promotes their development, which plays an important role in the development of human intelligence. By 5-6 months, the structure of fetal cerebral cortex has basically formed, and the sense of touch, vision, hearing and taste has developed to a considerable extent, and some activities of the outside world can be felt. At this time, playing some music and giving pregnant women prenatal education such as abdominal massage can promote the intellectual development of the fetus.
2. Alkaline food is good for children.
Human body fluids are slightly alkaline, which is beneficial to the absorption and utilization of substances. If children lack alkaline substances, it will affect hormone secretion and nerve activity, and such children have low IQ. It can improve children's diet structure, and eating more alkaline food can improve academic performance.
Generally speaking, green vegetables, nuts, fruits, low-fat milk, all kinds of mushrooms, beans and bean products, kelp and so on. They are all alkaline foods. * * Meat, fish, flour, rice, peanuts, etc. Such as cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, are acidic substances after metabolism by the human body, so they belong to acidic substances.
Some foods, such as walnuts, frogs, pearls, animal brains and red dates, can enhance intellectual development. Foods with high vitamin C content are also beneficial to improve IQ. When orange juice with high vitamin C content was supplied to children 18 months, their IQ was 3.6 higher than that of users on average.
