[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2210, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.marinij.com/2020/05/24/your-brain-wants-you-to-watch-what-you-eat/'][B]Your brain wants you to watch what you eat - Mariin Independent Journal[/B][/URL] [B]High-fat diets may impact cognitive abilities[/B] You are what you eat. You also might “think” how you eat. Longitudinal studies have condemned the stereotypical Western diet, likening it to a brain-altering addiction. The brain’s pleasure centers are triggered by these foods, reinforcing cravings and consumption. Ultimately, diets rich in saturated fats and refined carbohydrates are linked to cognitive decline and increased risk of dementia. A massive study following 27,000 older adults for five years found that those who ate a Mediterranean diet preserved cognitive function, whereas those with the highest consumption of fried food had the greatest decline in function over the years. Some recent studies have explored how our cognition is affected by the meal just consumed. We all are aware that the chemicals we eat or drink can have a direct effect on us, whether it be caffeine or alcohol, yet the idea that other foods could affect the way we think is relatively new.
