Yeah, we know it is so tempting to reach for those French fries or a cheeseburger. But it is time to think if they are doing any good to your health beyond that taste. What you eat directly impacts your brain. Fried and processed foods are high in sugars and unhealthy fats. They trigger chronic inflammation, which is tied to memory loss, mood swings, confusion, and depression. Such foods also increase the risk of neurological diseases. Instead, switch to a well-balanced and nutritious diet. You can try the Mediterranean diet, which focuses on lots of vegetables, fruits, beans, lentils, nuts, whole grains, fatty fish, and virgin oil.
