Intelligence-killing foods you must avoid by Filaniboy: 4:28pm On Sep 08, 2014
Some foods are known to have a devastating effect on your brain functioning, and nutritionists advise us to consume them moderately in order to limit their negative impact. Here are the top 11 foods that kill your intelligence, slowly but surely:

Sugary products: Sugar and sugary products are bad not only for your waistline, but for your brain function as well. Long-term consumption of sugar can create a wealth of neurological problems, and it can also interfere with your memory.
On the other hand, sugar can also interfere with your ability to learn, this is why it is recommended to avoid pre-baked goods, sugar, corn syrup and products that are high in fructose.
Alcohol: Alcohol is known to harm your liver in the long run, and it also causes what is known as “brain fog” – which refers to a feeling of mental confusion and acts like a cloud that impacts your ability to think clearly, as well as your memory. High alcohol intake impacts the balance of the brain.
Junk food: A recent study that was performed at the University of Montreal has revealed that junk food can change the chemicals in the brains, thus leading to symptoms associated with depression and anxiety. Besides, foods that are high in fat can also trigger some symptoms that are similar to the signs of withdrawal when you stop consuming them. These foods affect the production of dopamine, an important chemical that promotes happiness and an overall feeling of well-being.
Moreover, dopamine also supports the cognitive function, the learning capacity, alertness, motivation and memory. This is why it is important to avoid all foods that contain excessive fat.
Fried foods: Almost all processed foods contain chemicals, dyes, additives, artificial flavours, preservatives and such – these can affect the behaviour and the cognitive functioning due to the chemical that causes hyperactivity, both in children and in adults. Fried or processed foods slowly destroy the nerve cells located in the brain. However, some oils are more dangerous than others – sunflower oil is considered to be among the most toxic ones.
