The school where the brightest children gather in the world is the Glenn Du Man Center in Philadelphia, USA. Both teachers and students in the school must be vegetarian. The Australian government has tested the IQ of primary school children all over the world, and the smartest primary school is a vegetarian school. It can be seen that the concept of vegetarianism without nutrition is all wet! The pH of human body fluids is related to IQ, which can be adjusted by diet. Professor Gu Guixiong, a doctoral supervisor and chief physician of pediatrics in the Affiliated Hospital of Soviet University, suggested improving the diet structure and eating more alkaline foods to improve the intelligence level, that is, eating less big fish, big meat and sweets, and eating more soy products, dairy products, vegetables and fruits and marine plant products. Professor Gu said that some children with poor academic performance and low IQ development level are mostly acidic. Improving their diet structure and eating more alkaline food are the main measures to improve their academic performance.
Rumors:
The PH value of body fluids is strictly controlled by the body, because our metabolism depends on many biological enzymes, and we need to control the pH value very accurately. Therefore, the body fluid itself forms a large buffer system, in which various components such as salt, protein and organic acid are interwoven to form a stable internal environment.
It is not realistic to change the PH value of body fluids through diet, and it is only possible to change the PH value of urine and feces. In addition, if the PH value fluctuates obviously, a disease state is likely to occur. For example, the normal blood PH is 7.35-7.45, which is a very narrow range.
Vegetarian children have high IQ, and the evidence of this conclusion itself is vague, which is probably hearsay. Let's take a look at the children and juvenile classes who win the college entrance examination every year. How many of them are vegetarian? Of course, many children really don't have enough to eat what is mentioned in the article.
Generally speaking, the dietary structure should be mainly grain, supplemented by rich fruits and vegetables, followed by meat, eggs and milk. Many parents think it is good to give their children more meat, eggs and milk. This concept is wrong. You can refer to "Dietary Guide for China Residents" to plan a scientific and reasonable nutritional mix for children and avoid raising big and fat boys.
Secondly, vegetarian food has healthy and unhealthy ingredients. Carnivorous meals also have healthy and unhealthy ways to eat meat. Vegetarian diet alone cannot guarantee health. In the past, when we were poor, we could only eat meat during the Spring Festival. Are they all smart people? Malnutrition is not conducive to intellectual development and mental maintenance. And vegetarian food is not healthy. For example, potato chips, fried dough sticks and cola are vegetarian, but they are not good for health and intelligence. Bean jelly and bean jelly are also vegetarian, but they have low nutritional value and few vitamins, which is not conducive to brain power.
If you don't want to eat meat, eggs and milk, you should supplement related nutrients from plant foods, such as whole grains, beans, nuts and oilseeds, instead of simply removing them from the menu.
In western countries, people with higher social and economic status often eat vegetarian food. They often have good IQ inheritance and good nutrition guidance. So we can see the benefits of eating vegetarian food. In India, people of the highest caste eat vegetarian food. They have a good genetic background and good educational conditions. So it doesn't mean that you will be smarter without eating meat.
In addition, the first restrictive factor of IQ is genes, and the second is education. Through personal efforts, stupid birds fly first. On the premise of normal nutrition intake, the influence of diet on IQ is very limited, especially after entering childhood, which mainly depends on education.
