Brain can shrink....!!!

Trans Fats Shrinking The Brain………..???!!!

It’s true??

Study says..if you  want to maintain your mental health in old age and ward off cognitive diseases like alzheimer’s, avoid the frozen foods and eat your vegetables.

In astudy, which look at the dietary role of ageing gracefully, researchers found that people who consumed diets high in trans fats were more likely to have brain shrinkage and scored lower on thinking and memory tests, compared to people who followed a healthy diet, low in trans fats and high in vitamins.

Trans fats are found primarily in frozen,packaged,fast foods, baked goods and margarine spreads.

Conversely, people who followed diets that were high in range of vitamin like C,D,E and B or omega-3 fatty acid were less likely tohave brain shrinkage and scored higher in mental thinking test.

Researcher studied subject who averaged 87 yearsof age and drew blood samples to detamine the level of nutrients in the body- the first study do so they said.

Previous studys either look at separated nutrientsor rely on questionnaires and self –reporting to asses the people’s diets.
Scientists also scanned the brains of 42 participants to measure brain volume and found that those who had high vitamin levels had larger brains,while those with high trans fat wee prone to shrinkage associated with alzheimer's

This study corroborates the finding of another report published last year by a team of scientists at Columbia University Medical Centre in New York who found that one dietary pattern was significantly associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease: high intakes of salad dressing, nuts,fish,tomatoes, poultry,fruits,cruciferous and dark,green leafy vege and low intakes of high-fat dairy,red and organ meat and butter.
Meanwhile, omega-3 fatty acid and vitamin D are primarily found in fish, while B vitamin and antioxidants C and E are found in fruits and vegetables
