Researchers found that higher intake of a western diet by 14-year-olds had scored lower in cognitive tasks by the age of 17Take-away food, deep fried potatoes, red and processed meat and soft drinks had negative associationsThe study found high intake of saturated fat and simple carbohydrates affected learning and memory during adolescentsWhile participants who had higher consumption of fruits and leafy green vegetables, had a positive cognitive performanceIt's no secret that eating hamburgers and fries could affect your waist line but new research has found it can also take a toll on your brain.Within the western dietary patterns, the study found participants with a high intake of take-away food, deep fried potatoes, red and processed meat and soft drinks had negative associations that affected their reaction time, mental ability, visual attention, learning and memory.It's no secret that eating hamburgers and fries could affect your waist line but new research has found it can also take a toll on your brainWhile participants who had higher consumption of fruits and leafy green vegetables, had a positive cognitive performance.Researcher Dr Anett Nyaradi told Science Network that it could be due to increased micronutrient content from leafy green vegetables, which has linked to enhanced cognitive development.Dr Nyaradi said several factors may be at play in this diet-related decline in cognitive skills, including the level of omega-6 fatty acids in fried foods and red meat.Metabolic pathways function best with a balanced 1:1 ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, but the western diet can shift this to a 1:20 or 1:25 ratio, according to Science Network.Dr Nyardi told Science Network that high intake of saturated fat and simple carbohydrates has been linked to impairment in the functioning of the hippocampus, which is a brain structure centrally involved in learning and memory that increases its volume during adolescence.'Adolescence represents a critical time period for brain development. It is possible that poor diet is a significant risk factor during this period…indeed, our findings support this proposition,' she said.'These findings have important implications for future health policies and health promotion programs.'Read More @ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2769050/Eating-burgers-fries-doesn-t-just-make-fat-makes-stupid-well.htmlAnd Stop Being A Junky

  • Brown bread having better qualities than white...so bread can vary...I always choose brown, with seeds, etc...Carbohydrate value, plus fortified....And of course, roughage is needed to assist healthy bowel movement... ;-)

    The quality of burger buns is lesser by far...

  • To aid Krish I would define junk food as possessing a less than necessary nutritional value....Food which offers excess fat and miniscule protein...Much salt or sugar, with minimal vitamins....

    If you saw the manufacturing process of the typical burger I'm sure that you would conclude that it's junk...

     

    The Chinese proverb states that "you are what you eat..!!" This is what Krish is aluding to, as he clearly states..  ;-)

     

  • Part of Ascension and Awakening is to get rid of Junk Food from Planet Earth
    • I better fry up some more bacon while I still can then. I don't think I'll ever be able to give up eating those every now and then. It tastes too good. :)

      • it is kida sad to know that majority of humanity dont care what goes into their mouths...........all for a stupid taste and not for health of a person and planet , nor for the kindness towards animals...............

  • It's not a case of being judgemental for you have view and consider in all angles ... YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT ..if you have problems understanding this then you are a stupid and there is no doubt about that ...the problem is junk food is one of the causes of hell on this planet ... Junk food you see everyday in most places is sickening just to see let alone eat. The amount of people suffering from sickness and disease is very large percentage on this planet and to associate with junk people lowers your vibes ...they eat junk..the talk junk ..and their actions and behaviour is junk... SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT
  • I would say, replace the word stupid with disconnected. We are all in various degrees disconnected from source. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here. Once we move on to a higher density, of course we won't be eating junk food or thinking junk thoughts such as negative judgement of others, but to some degree we will still be disconnected from source.

  • hihi

  • I posted this on ACC while having nice healthy food and drink in WholeFoods London
    • But since you poison your mind with negative thoughts about other peoples choices while eating this healthy food, you're still doing the same to your body as any consumer of a "happy meal" is doing. You poison it hence, cancelling the beneficial effects of the food you're eating. Mind over matter. ;)
