Will bumping heads affect children's intelligence?

Children will inevitably encounter some bumps and bruises in the process of growing up, which has a great impact on the child's body and usually causes some trauma to the child. For example, children often hit their heads while playing, which directly affects the child's physical health. Let's take a look at whether hitting a child's head will affect his intelligence? I hope parents can understand this.

As long as there is no internal damage, it will not affect intelligence. However, once there is brain damage, it is no longer just an intelligence problem. Children's heads develop quickly. The younger the child, the heavier the head appears and the lighter the body appears. It is normal for them to hit their heads easily when they fall. Therefore, we should pay attention to caring for their children in daily life. When they grow up, the chance of falling and hitting their heads will naturally be less, and the children’s self-protection ability will also be greatly improved.

1. Replenish carbohydrates in time. The brain tissue itself cannot store glucose and can only use the glucose provided by the blood to produce energy. The brain consumes a large amount of glucose, accounting for almost 2/3 of the glucose content in human blood. Therefore, children who often use their brains should eat more sugary foods, and when their brains are tired, they can have some snacks or have extra meals during breaks.

2. Eat more protein. Protein is an important component of nerve cells and glial cells. High-quality protein will promote the growth and development of cells. Among the amino acids that make up protein, a lack of leucine can lead to incomplete brain development; tryptophan and tyrosine can be converted into neurotransmitters, which are of great help to the thinking activities of the human brain; glutamate can eliminate the toxicity of ammonia to the brain and play a major role in protecting brain tissue.

3. Eat more foods rich in lecithin and vitamin B. The brain tissue contains more lipids than any other organ, including lecithin, cholesterol, glycolipids, phospholipids, etc. Among them, lecithin is the most abundant and the demand is the greatest. Therefore, children should eat more foods high in lecithin, such as soy products, eggs, milk, and beef. In addition, you should also pay attention to taking foods rich in vitamin B, such as vegetables and fruits.
