Regular snacks will affect the brain

We all know that using long-term, high-fat snacks can cause many chronic illnesses. UK researchers have recently discovered that eating foods high in calories over a short period of time is likely to affect the brain.

Research results are presented at the 'FASEB Journal' (Federation of American Society for Experimental Biology).

Experiment:

Oxford University researchers He completed an experiment funded by the British Heart Foundation: They took a standard meal with a fat content of 7.5% for 42 mice to eat. , keep a record of the time the mouse jogs on the exercise machine as a physical measure of the rat's strength, and also allow the mouse to enter the maze as a measure of the mouse's cognitive ability.

Later, the researchers changed the menu for 21 of them, feeding them high calorie foods with a fat content of 55%.

' Fat in the standard meal is relatively low, ' said Dr. Biology Andrew Murray, '55% of the calories in fat-rich foods are created, which is very high, but actually if measured. The body's standard is not high, just about the amount of calories in snacks . '

Affect:

After changing the diet to the 5th day, the average amount of time spent running on the rats' diet machines was 30% lower than the mice that ate the standard meal. By the 9th day, this number increased to 50%.

Compared to other mice, mice that eat fast food for 9 days when entering the labyrinth will show poorly. The ' exact decision ' index from 6 drops to 5 or 5.5, indicating that cognitive ability is affected.

In the British Daily Mail magazine on the 14th, quote Andrew Murray as follows: ' Westerners often use high-calorie foods, in the long term there is the possibility of leading to diseases such as obesity, urination sugar and heart failure. But the consequences of using this diet for a short time are of little interest. We hope that this study can make people change their minds about health and happiness from now on, seriously reducing the amount of fat in their daily meals. '

Kieran Clarke, the research project manager, said: ' The research results really make people have antlers. The data show that when using foods high in fat, even in a short period of time affects the genetic changes, metabolism and body manifestations. '

Find cause:

Researchers found that when mice ate high-calorie foods, muscle and protein content in their heart cells increased.

The detached protein is a special protein that interferes with the cells that produce the necessary motor energy, leading to a decrease in the performance of muscles and heart. This also partly explains why the mouse has changed expression on the device.

In addition, mice after 9 days of eating high-fat food, the heart will grow, which means the heart has to increase its volume to pump more blood for the entire body, and must provide More oxygen for active muscles.

Researchers said: ' The research project is the best reference for the meals of athletes or those suffering from metabolic disorders .' Researchers have also begun to study the effects of short-term calorie meals on humans.

Jeremy Peck - Biological director of the Heart Fund of the UK said: ' Just using it for a week, changing your diet will make your heart's function significantly weaker. We hope to have a result on the bodies of volunteers, which can provide a basis for us to know how much of the fat contained in food will affect the human body. Come on. '
