Avoid These Foods At All Costs! These Brain Toxins Are Eating Away Your Brain!

Last updated on 22 MAR 2019

Alzheimer’s is becoming a major health concern, as the percentage of elderly adults that develop this disease is increasing. There is a lot that doctors understand about Alzheimer’s, but there is also a lot that they still do not know. One thing that doctors can agree on is that Alzheimer’s is directly linked to the condition of your brain.

The medical community believes that about half of all Alzheimer’s cases are related to diet and lifestyle choices. Some of the leading causes related to Alzheimer’s include depression, smoking, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.

These few food groups are highly toxic to the brain. They eat away at your brain and cause brain damage. Please avoid them at all costs!

Top 4 Foods That Cause Alzheimer’s Disease And Brain Fog

1. White Foods

White foods include white bread, white flour, white rice, pasta, sugar, artificial sweetener and MSG. These “foods” can cause a spike in your blood pressure and cause inflammation. This increases your chances of developing diabetes, which may in turn increase your chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

2. Processed Foods and Meats

Processed foods are likely to contain higher amounts of unhealthy fats, artificial food additives, salt and sugar.

These ingredients stunt proper brain function and result in a higher likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s.

Do cut back on American cheese and other processed cheeses. Avoid mozzarella sticks, sausages, deli meats, cured and processed meats.

3. Foods Containing Diacetyl or Nitrate

Diacetyl is a food flavoring that is added to a wide variety of foods such as butter, cheese, milk, flour mixes, cookies, crackers, candy, popcorn.

Nitrates are usually added to processed and cured meat to function as preservatives to prevent the growth of bacteria. These could retard proper brain function and have an impact on your metabolism.

By limiting your consumption of these foods, you can prevent the early development of Alzheimer’s.

Gradually begin to cut back on canned and packaged foods that have long expiry dates. Avoid margarine, microwaved popcorn, and beer.

4. Certain Medications

If you take any drug that starts with “anti” such as antihistamines, antidepressants, antipsychotics, antibiotics, antispasmodics, or antihypertensives, it’s likely that it will affect your acetylcholine levels.

Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter involved with memory and learning. Low acetycholine can lead to symptoms that resemble dementia including mental confusion, delirium, blurred vision, memory loss, and hallucinations.

Foods To Promote Better Brain Health

It is essential to avoid the above listed foods that are harmful before eating foods that are beneficial for your brain health. Take a look at the following suggestions and try to build a diet around these to promote better brain health.

• Eat more wild fatty fish
• Eat healthy fats—olive oil, coconut oil
• Eat fermented foods
• Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables
• Eat more nuts
• Get more exercise
• Stimulate your mind with mind games
• Manage your stress levels

Eating more fatty fish, at least three meals per week, could help you cut down on your consumption of red meat, allowing you to cut some wrong fats from your diet.

Fresh produce can provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals that could promote better brain health. Nuts and fish are good sources of healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to be beneficial for your brain health.

In addition to eating a healthy diet, you should also try to get more exercise, keep your mind stimulated, and learn how to manage your stress levels.

You may not be able to completely protect yourself from Alzheimer’s Disease, but you can take steps to lower your chances of developing this condition. Start by limiting your consumption of the foods mentioned and then begin eating a healthier diet, focusing on healthy fats, fatty fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains.
