Question
The child is healthy, but has tonsillitis. Seeing their parents eat pork brain, they also want to try it. Can children eat pork brain?
Answer
Pork brain is rich in protein and fat, and also contains thiamine, riboflavin, ascorbic acid, and a large amount of cholesterol. It has the effects of benefiting the brain marrow, replenishing deficiency, calming the mind, and soothing nerves. It has certain therapeutic effects on symptoms such as neurasthenia, dizziness, tinnitus, and post-traumatic symptoms after brain tremors. Precautions: Due to its high cholesterol content, pork brain is one of the foods with the highest cholesterol levels, 30 times that of pork. Therefore, middle-aged people with poor cardiovascular health, such as those with hypertension, coronary heart disease, or cholecystitis, should eat it with caution.
