7 Habits that are dangerous for the Brain

Overeating

Studies show a surprising link between obesity and dementia. The reasons are not clear, but researchers suspect that obesity occurs when the food we eat lacks nutrition, leading to the urge to overeat to meet the body’s need for vitamins and minerals. So, even if you eat a lot, you may be starving your brain.

In terms of observation, we can see that in 2015, the number of patients diagnosed with dementia reached nearly 45 million, a figure that has doubled since 1990. At the same time, the national obesity rate in the United States has increased from 11.1% to 30.6%. More studies are needed to unravel the link, but it is clear that there is one.
