4 groups of foods harmful to the brain

The human brain is the most important organ in the body. That is why it is important to take care of his health. Solving puzzles, cognitive games, hobbies, reading books, all this keeps the brain active.

But we should not forget about their eating habits and everyday habits that also affect our cognitive functions.

According to scientists, by 2030, dementia will affect more than 65 million people worldwide. Fortunately, we can reduce the risk of the disease, minimizing the consumption of certain foods, see which ones.

Sugar beverages
Most people can not without a car, soda, box juices, carbonated soft drinks. High intake of sugar beverages not only increases the waist, increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease but also has a negative impact on the brain.

Excessive intake increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, which is found to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, higher blood sugar levels may increase the risk of dementia, even in people who do not suffer from diabetes.

A major component of many sugar beverages is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which consists of 55% fructose and 45% glucose.

High intake of fructose can lead to a metabolic syndrome that in the long run has a risk of dementia.

Refined carbohydrates
Refined carbohydrates include sugars and highly processed beans, such as white flour.
These types of carbohydrates usually have a high glycemic index. This means that your body quickly digests them, resulting in a leap in your blood sugar and insulin levels.

Studies have shown that only one meal with high glycemic load can cause memory impairment in both children and adults.
Therefore, avoid consuming biscuits, cakes, pastries.

High trans fat foods
Do you like burgers, chips, french fries? They all contain trans fat (a type of unsaturated fat) that can have a detrimental effect on brain health.

Trans fats naturally occurring in animal products such as meat and dairy products are not so dangerous when consumed in a balanced way. But industrially produced trans fats, also known as hydrogenated vegetable oils, already pose serious health risks.

Studies have found that people who consume larger quantities of trans fats tend to have an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, less memory, less brain volume and lower cognitive abilities.

Therefore, be careful with the consumption of margarines, sweets, processed and packaged foods.

Highly processed foods
Highly processed foods are high in sugar, added fat and salt. These include chips, sweet, instant spaghetti and soups, microwave popcorn, sauces, sausages and more.

These foods are usually high in calories and low in other nutrients. According to studies, visceral fat and metabolic syndrome can cause brain tissue depletion as well as increase the risk of degenerative diseases.

Aspartame
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener added to many sugar-free products. Many people trying to lose weight or avoid eating sugar resort to aspartame.

The sweetener consists of phenylalanine, methanol and aspartic acid. Some scientists believe that aspartame may increase the vulnerability of the brain to oxidative stress.
