Junk Food Can Damage the Brain

There have been many studies on the effects of the consumption of junk food on health. In calories and high in saturated fats can result in less good for heart health. Recent research reveals precisely due to poor brain function.

Many research methods used to detect the influence of food on health. ‘Respondents who have elderly will have trouble remembering what they ate, “said Bowman on The Huffington Post. But Bowman has a better way to ask people to tell what is eaten during the last few weeks, and the results can be seen the level of nutrients in the blood of the respondents.

The way this study does not provide 100 percent good results, because it can not be known how many nutrients are absorbed by the body. Several studies have shown that the absorption of good nutrients in the body if the respondent has a good diet for a year.

Nutrient content can also be identified and found in higher amounts in the spinal fluid and brain tissue. If some of the nutrients that damage the blood barrier into the brain will be an impact on brain development. Nutrients that have the highest levels to the brain is vitamin C.

A few weeks ago for the first time, Bowman released the findings of the first. Latest study, ‘biomarker pattern of nutrition, cognitive function, and MRI measures of brain aging’ was published in the Dec. 28 issue of Neurology magazine. Found some patterns of relating between what is eaten and its benefits for brain function.

Two interesting findings discovered Bowman’s positive, people with such high plasma levels of vitamin B, D, E, and C has a better total brain volume. In addition, those that contain omega-3 fatty acids with a higher level will have better brain function.

In this study also found people who have the highest levels of trans fatty acids in the blood is bad and reduced brain volume. Foods high in trans fats come mostly from junk food such as pastries and processed beef, fries, and others which can cause brain damage.

Some restaurants in New York and Switzerland are not displaying menu containing high trans fat, and many large food companies are trying to not use trans fats in their products.

It is clear that trans fats are bad for heart health and brain development. But avoid fatty foods bad, if it was already try the consumption of vitamin E to help restore the memory center.
