As we know, there are products that can improve our cognitive functions.
But at the same time, there are those that can provoke dangerous diseases and worsen brain function.
Nutritionist Serena Poon spoke about harmful products, and she put food with a lot of added sugar in first place.
Added sugar impairs memory and increases the risk of dementia, but what to do if it is found almost everywhere? The solution is actually simple – you should either cook it yourself or carefully study the composition of the products indicated on the packaging.
In addition, refined carbohydrates have a negative impact on brain function.
They are found in white bread, baked goods, breakfast cereals, etc.
Instead of refined carbohydrates, it is better to consume complex carbohydrates: whole grain products, vegetables and fruits, legumes, etc.
Finally, if you want to reduce your risk of developing dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases, stop eating processed meats – sausages, ham, hot dogs, etc.
Instead, include poultry, lean beef, fish, or plant-based protein sources in your diet.
