Scientists from Macquarie University (Australia) has conducted a number of studies proved that obesity does not come from the amount of food, and from problems with the functioning of the human brain.
Scientists found that the hippocampus, the brain area responsible for the removal of useless memories, effect on nutrition. Thoughts of food should occur in memory during the famine, and then, after saturation, to disappear.
The study also proved that the popular “Western” diet disrupts the hippocampus. In this diet the body gets a lot of fat and not getting the required amount of carbohydrates and sucrose. Brain becomes more difficult to “slow down” pleasant memories of hearty food and it seems that he wants to eat even when he is not hungry.
An experiment was conducted in which the participants interested in the “Western” diet, the harder it was to remember the necessary information and poorly studied, in comparison with people who consume healthy foods.
Shortly after lunch, the first also quickly wanted to eat. Scientists came to the conclusion that the hippocampus strongly affect the nutritional needs of the human body.
