Food for mind
Phenylketonuria refers to the number of hereditary diseases in which therapeutic nutrition is the only method of treatment. According to foreign authors, 60% of patients - idiots, 30% - weakness, and only 10% of patients have a weak degree of oligophrenia (dementia). Spontaneous improvement in mental functions during phenylketonurium has never been observed, because it is so important to identify the disease as soon as possible and assign the appropriate nutrition. The translation of the child for special food in the early detection of the disease guarantees normal neuropsychic development.
Diet and therapy is based on the principle of a sharp limitation of phenylalanine, which comes with food. Any protein contains up to 8% phenylalanine, and therefore high-protected products (meat, fish, liver, sausages, eggs, cottage cheese, bakery products, cereals, beans, peas, nuts, chocolate) from the diet are excluded at all.
