Junk food and memory loss

A team of researchers at the University of New South Wales has found a relationship between junk food and memory loss.team compared the performance of rats raised with high-sugar, high-fat foods with that of rodents on a healthy diet.
's chief
Margaret Morris
that
mice with poor
eating habits developed memory damage after just six days.found that
eating
eating habits are associated with cognitive decline and occur very quickly. Within six days of a poor diet, the animals performed worse on spatial memory tasks."
surprised by its speed, it was so fast.
”Scientists have observed inflammation in the sea masse region of the brain in animals raised on a poor diet, which is involved in memory formation and storage.said:
"
is too early to assert a causal relationship between the two, but we believe that the occurrence of inflammation may be highly related to cognitive decline.
” “
So we need to do more. For example, what if we could stop inflammation? Does that protect brain function? That's all we want to ask.
”Morris
that memory problems became apparent before the animals showed any physical symptoms.said: "
"
animals certainly do not become obese after just six days of poor diet. So changes in cognitive function and memory loss occur before weight changes.
”She said it was hard to say what the test would mean for humans.said, "
"
it's certainly hard to push it out to humans. But the data showed that human volunteers who ate a poor junk diet for just five days lost their function.
” “
For example, the reaction time is too long.

, said the study could be influenced by age. As people get older, they can only confirm whether the effects of diet and lifestyle and their effects on memory are substantially improved by eating foods that we think are ideal to improve their diet.
” “
I think this is an important question to be answered.
” Professor Noakes
she looked forward to seeing more research in the field in the future. said,
"
I think if the answer is yes, it could lead to a huge change in the dynamics of our existing eating habits."
” “
Because losing memory will seriously affect our daily life every day.
” “
I'm sure having a diet that optimizes memory will be something we'll all be eager to pursue.
