Dietary contraindications for children with diminished or absent hug reflex

The hug reflex is an intrinsic reflex of the spinal cord and is an unconditioned reflex. If there is a lack of this hug reflex, it means that the child’s neurological system is not mature, and there may be damage or lesion in the nervous system, intracranial hemorrhage or other intracranial diseases. It will gradually disappear with the development of the higher centers of the cerebral cortex. What should be forbidden for children with a weakened or absent hug reflex? Avoid foods containing excessive salt Excessive sodium content in the blood causes a condition in which cells are deprived of oxygen, and brain cells are no exception. Long-term lack of oxygen to the brain cells can lead to memory loss. Usually keep light in the diet, eat less pickled products, especially in summer, and minimize salt intake to reduce the burden on the heart. Lipid peroxide is harmful Lipid peroxide may be a bit tongue-in-cheek, but bacon and barbecue must not be unfamiliar, these foods contain a large number of lipid peroxide, lipid peroxide long-term intake may induce cancer. Forbidden food added metal aluminum Aluminum in the blood will hinder the brain enzyme activity, leading to memory loss, thinking ability is reduced, but also induce amnesia. The alum added to the fritters contains aluminum, and some fried foods contain a small amount of aluminum, so try to eat less. Forbidden food too sweet Sweet food is sweet in taste, but stay in the body, the body will be transformed into acidic body, long-term maintenance of acidic body is very unhealthy for the body. Therefore, for the health of the brain, less sweet food is very necessary. MSG is the main ingredient of MSG, and when the body breaks down glutamate, it produces a neurological depressant similar to Valium, which damages the brain tissue. Especially babies and children with incomplete brain development should avoid MSG. High-fat food to stay away from Fat in the decomposition of the need to speed up blood circulation, in the blood flow to the stomach and liver at the same time, the amount of blood to the brain will be greatly reduced, will lead to brain cell hypoxia, the brain will cause irreversible damage. Pesticide residues should not be Pesticide residues on the surface of fruits and vegetables, although trace, but the long-term accumulation will also cause effects. The neurotoxicity in pesticides can produce irreversible poisoning of the brain.
