The liver is like the “general” in our organs, while the brain is our central command place. Its health is closely related to our life. Most of the brain problems are caused by diet. Many bad eating habits in our daily lives can speed up the decline of our brain, making us less responsive and responsive. Doctors remind everyone, regardless of men and women, after the age of 50 four kinds of food should not eat more, damage the brain, easy to cause dementia.

Foods that contain too much sugar

So if you’re not careful, you’ll eat too much sugar. Too much sugar can lead to poor vision, which reduces activity and dulls our brains.
