The results of the research presented by scientists indicate that obesity-induced disturbances in the proper functioning of memory are reversible.
Researchers studied a group of obese women and examined their ability to remember presented faces and assign them specific names. The same study was done after dieting and losing weight among these women. It turned out that memory functioning has improved. This was also confirmed by direct observations of the brain’s work performed with the use of magnetic resonance imaging.
Previous studies indicate that obesity not only worsens memory functioning, but also other mental abilities, and is a risk factor for the disease alzheimer’s and stroke. So this is another reason to fight unnecessary kilograms.
