A study from the University of Sydney highlights the negative impact of high-fat and high-sugar diets on cognitive skills. Researchers found that younger individuals consuming junk food exhibited poorer spatial navigation and memory abilities compared to those with healthier diets. Utilizing VR technology to conduct memory tests involving navigation through a maze, results indicated a marked difference in performance based on dietary habits. The findings underscore growing concerns about how junk food consumption could affect brain health, especially in the younger population.
The findings from our research indicate that diets high in fat and sugar can impede cognitive abilities, particularly in spatial navigation and memory recall.
Younger people consuming junk food showed a significant decline in cognitive functions, a concerning trend that may have long-term implications on brain health.
