What We Eat May Affect What and How We Think.

Scientists are ultimately searching for new ways to treat diet-related disorders while raising awareness that diet and obesity affect mental as well as physical health. Being obese appears to affect cognitive function, requiring more effort to complete a complex decisions-making task, according to researcher Timothy Verstynen. Brain images suggest that when people skip breakfast, the pleasure seeking part of the brain is activated by picture of high-calorie food. Skipping breakfast also appears to increase food consumption at lunch, possibly casting doubt on the the use of fasting as an approach to diet control, revealed the study that was carried out by Tony Gold-stone, MD, PHD.
