Are you not polite about eating sweets and drinking drinks? If you like to be an "ant", be careful and become mentally retarded!
There is a character in the Marvel movie called “Ant-man”. His super power is that he can zoom in and out of his body at any time, and he can talk to ants. His image is very lively and cute. There are many Ant-men in real life, and they also have the superpower to eat sweets, but they can’t save the world, and they can’t save their own bodies that are getting weaker and weaker due to excessive sweetness. If you belong to the above-mentioned Ant-Man type who loves sweets, in addition to paying close attention to your emotional problems and risks of chronic diseases, you also have to worry that eating sweets will cause your memory to decline and become “brain-dead”!
Sooner or later a cup of sugary drink every day will turn into goldfish brain
Scott. Ph.D., School of Humanities, University of Southern California, USA. Scott Kanoski formed a research team with scholars from the University of California and Greece to explore how specific changes in intestinal microorganisms change brain function. This research was published in the American journal Translational Psychiatry on March 31, 2021.
The research team prepared sugary drinks similar to those consumed by humans for experimental rats in their teenage years, and continued to feed them for a month. After that, the researchers used two different methods to test the memory of the experimental rats: one was to test the memory of the hippocampal gyrus area of their brains. function; the second is to test the memory function of the “olfactory limbic cortex” area of the brain. After comparing with experimental rats that only drank water, the research team found that although the memory function of the experimental rats that drank sugary drinks was normal in the olfactory limbic cortex, their memory ability around the hippocampus was impaired.
The research team further examined the intestinal conditions of the experimental mice and found that the sugar-loving experimental mice had two more intestinal bacteria, Parabacteroides distasonis and Parabacteroides johnsonii. , and implanted it into the bile of experimental rats that only drank water. As a result, their hippocampus also suffered from memory impairment.
Emily., an assistant professor at the School of Family and Consumer Sciences at the University of Southern California, participated in this study. Emily Noble said that sugar consumption affected the memory ability of experimental mice, confirming that there is indeed a direct connection between intestinal microorganisms and the brain. If humans also consume excessive sugar, they may not escape the fate of becoming a “goldfish brain.”
Eastern and Western medicine connect the “brown sugar industry chain”? There are many disadvantages to being addicted to sweets, I’m not bluffing!
To be honest, most of the major medical journals and online articles in the East and West advocate the destructive effect of sugar on the body. Is it possible that the medical community has already constructed a “brown sugar industry chain”? In fact, we really don’t mean to be mean people, but sugar is really poisonous! Sugar not only affects memory. Many chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity can be caused by excessive sugar intake. Excessive sugar addiction can also lead to emotional instability, anxiety, irritability and other psychological problems. It can be said that sugar affects the body and mind. All the ailments are taken care of, and the medical community’s appeals and suggestions for quitting sugar can be said to be reasonable and reasonable.
Do you want to get rid of the title of Ant-Man, but still want to resist sugary food/drinks? Just like quitting smoking, quitting sugar must be done step by step. If you usually drink half a cup of sugar with a hand shake, you might as well reduce the next cup to three points of sugar, and slowly get away from the addiction caused by sugar; if you still can’t resist the urge to eat from time to time As for the feeling of sugar, it is recommended that you replace desserts with fruits to enjoy the sweetness while staying healthy. Saying no to sugar can be said to be a common deed of modern people. How to be a competent “anti-sugar general” depends on whether you are determined to maintain good health!
