High-fat diets are more expensive than imagined. Research reveals that a cup of milkshake can also increase dementia

Latest research points out that people pay for high-fat diets is much more serious than they think, and even a cup of milkshake is enough to hinder the circulation of the brain and increase the risk of middle and dementia.

New York Post Report, Australian New South Wales University researchers Chris Marley and Damian Bailey recently wrote an article on the non-profit science platform "The Conversation" that every meal is important in protecting brain health.

Human operation requires fat, which provides energy, warmth and protects organs. The chemical structure of fat and fat is different from that of fat and fat, and its impact on humans is also completely different.

High and fatty meals can lead to increased blood lipids and hardening of blood vessel walls, thereby blocking blood flow and increasing the burden on the center of gravity. These effects reach their peak four hours after eating.

To explore how these factors affect brain-wide, the research team recruited 20 men aged 18 to 35 and 21 men aged 60 to 80 to measure vascular functions related to heart and brain health before and after drinking a milkshake called "brain bomb".

This milkshake has a high heat of up to 1362 calories, contains 130 grams of fat, and the main ingredient is heavy cream.

Mali and Belle pointed out in their report that their findings proved that previous research results were found that high-fat meals would weaken the relaxation function of the heart-related blood vessels in older subjects and reduce the ability of brain-clinical irritation to fluctuations; this impact was more significant in older people (about 10%), indicating that elderly brains may be more susceptible to meal effects.

Two people said previous studies have shown that high-fed and fatty meals increase free radicals in damaged cells and reduce nitric oxide, which helps vasodilate and promotes systemic oxygen and glucose transport.

For this reason, the American Career Association (AHA) recommends keeping diet and fat intake below 6% of the total daily heat. Taking 2,000 calories per day as an example, the amount of raw and fat heat should not exceed 120 calories (about 13 grams).

This limit is very easy to exceed the standard. Just a spoonful of butter contains about 7 grams of fat and fat, and two slices of bacon contain about 3 grams. Experts suggest that polyfloating and fat be replaced by polyfloating fat, such as fat rich in oily fish, walnuts, seeds, avocado and olive oils, which are proven to reduce the risk of heart disease.

But Marley and Behreun reminded that it is not clear how the brain reacts to high-diversity and fatty meals. They also acknowledged that the main limitation of the study was that women's brains did not examine the response to high- and fatty meals. They said this is a key knowledge gap because women face higher risk of medium and dementia in their later years, compared to men.

Nevertheless, they still look forward to the research findings that demonstrate the importance of appropriate nutrition in short-term and long-term health. The article emphasizes that eating not only shapes long-term health, but also affects the body and brain state immediately.
