Show Notes
We all know about the physical consequences of having an unbalanced diet, and one that includes a lot of junk food in particular. In the short term eating lots of it can lead a person to put on weight and see their blood pressure increase, while it can also potentially lead to long-term conditions like diabetes or heart disease.
But studies are increasingly clear on the fact that junk food can also impair our brain functions, particularly memory. Scientists have not yet fully explained this mechanism, and it appears that it's not the only repercussion on our cognitive abilities.
How exactly does junk food impair brain function ? On the contrary, does eating well have beneficial effects on the brain ? What can we do to resist junk food? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
