It took only four days for those who ate sweets and fat for breakfast to have poor brain function. Memory began to fail, and on cognitive tests, cocktail drinkers scored fewer points than those who ate scrambled eggs and oatmeal for breakfast.
“A spike in blood sugar negatively affects memory and thinking,” the scientists concluded.
Moreover, people who ate fatty and sugary foods lost the ability to recognize satiety. Therefore, of course, they ate more.
But people are fed up not only with breakfast. If the diet during the day is dominated by fatty foods (or with hidden fats), the same problems arise: memory, the ability to absorb new information and concentrate deteriorate.
There are more obvious consequences of an unhealthy breakfast. Blood sugar drops as quickly as it rises. Therefore, we feel tired and hungry, although nothing has passed since the morning. So much for the extra meal, snack, calories, goodbye, waist, hello, plus size. It also becomes sad: unhealthy food makes us feel unhealthy and we feel unhappy. The best friend of a bad mood immediately wakes up – irritability. And it becomes noticeable to others almost immediately. It turns out that five minutes of happiness turn into long-lasting troubles: excess weight, decreased performance and learning ability, and, like the cherry on the cake, quarrels with friends and colleagues.
