Fatty Foods Affect Memory and Exercise Performance













If you are a fan of high-fat food, you may want to go easy on it from now on. Research has shown that fatty foods affect short-term memory and exercise performance.

It’s already known that long-term consumption of a high-fat diet is associated with weight gain, heart disease and declines in cognitive function. But the new research shows how indulging in fatty foods over the course of a few days can affect the brain and body long before the extra pounds show up.

Even though exercise is a good way of burning off the excess fat, but in terms of actually trying to put in a good time if you’re running, it will limit your performance.
