Symptoms of excessive heavy metals in babies

For babies, if heavy metal levels exceed the standard, the harm is particularly serious. Heavy metals are relatively common metals, such as lead, mercury, etc., among which lead poisoning is relatively common. For example, if lead poisoning occurs, it will often affect the baby's digestion, causing greater harm to the nervous system, respiratory system and immune system, and will cause acute poisoning or chronic poisoning. Let's take a look at the symptoms of excessive heavy metals in babies.

Symptoms of excessive heavy metals in babies

1. Headache, nausea, and loss of appetite

2. Lack of concentration.

3. Poor memory, quick temper, prone to quarreling and fighting.

4. Frequent stomach pain, diarrhea or constipation.

5. Dark lips, pale face, weak body, and dizziness.

6. Sweating easily, night terrors, constant crying,

7. Low IQ, anemia, behavioral changes,

8. Simulation learning is difficult, and spatial comprehensive ability decreases.

9. Movement disorders, hyperactivity, impulsivity, increased aggressiveness,

10. Anemia, high blood pressure

11. Acute lead nephropathy, decreased immunity

12. Symptoms such as zinc deficiency, iron deficiency, and calcium deficiency.

Levels of lead excess blood test

First degree lead poisoning: blood lead is within 100ug/L, which is relatively safe.

Secondary lead poisoning: blood lead 100ug/L~199ug/L, hemoglobin metabolism is affected, and nerve conduction velocity decreases.

Grade 3 lead poisoning: blood lead 200ug/L~499ug/L, iron, zinc and calcium metabolism are affected, calcium deficiency, zinc deficiency and hemoglobin synthesis disorder occur, there will be symptoms such as low immunity, learning difficulties, decreased IQ level or physical growth retardation.

Level 4 lead poisoning: blood lead 500ug/L~699ug/L, symptoms of poisoning such as changeable personality, irritability, hyperactivity, aggressive behavior, movement disorders, decreased vision and hearing, unexplained abdominal pain, anemia and arrhythmia may appear.

Level 5 lead poisoning: greater than or equal to 700ug/L, can cause damage to multiple organs, coma or even death.

Lead is one of the most toxic and cumulative heavy metals known. If it accumulates in the body for a long time, it will seriously harm the human nervous, hematopoietic and digestive systems, and will have a particularly serious impact on the intelligence and physical development of infants.

Foods that promote lead excretion

Protein (especially protein rich in thiol amino acids) is beneficial in reducing the concentration of lead in the body and alleviating the symptoms of poisoning. Therefore, eat more milk, fish, shrimp, soy products, lean meat, egg yolks and shellfish. Promote the excretion of lead. Furthermore, large molecular polysaccharide components such as pectin and dietary fiber can absorb lead, iron, zinc, calcium and other ions can competitively inhibit lead absorption, and magnesium, selenium, germanium, etc. have a certain antagonistic effect on the toxicity of lead.

Fruits: kiwi, papaya, pineapple, sea buckthorn, etc.

Vegetables such as konjac, kelp, onion, garlic, carrot, tomato, etc.

Avoid eating popcorn, preserved eggs, puffed foods, barbecued foods, pickled foods and tin canned foods.
