Good Lifestyle

During thequarantine, a lot of people are based oncomfort food To help cope with the stress and uncertainty of coronavirus. However, and if we told you foods that help the console, you will also help lose your ability to stayhere?

A new study published inThe American Journal of Clinical Nutrition by researchersThe University of Ohio Statesuggests that eating a single high meal in saturated grease is enough to hinder its levels of concentration. In other words, those who had the privilege of working from the house during the pandemic and alsoregularly Can comfortable food have seen a slight change in ability to stay focused.

The study involved 51 women, each of the people responsible for taking a test that examined their attention in the morning, then again, five hours after having consumed a high meal in saturated fats or a meal composed of healthier and unsaturated fat (In this case, sunflower oil). The group that ate the high meal in saturated fats has aggravated on the test of the attention that the group that has eaten the cooked meal with unsaturated grease.

It is important to clarify that the meal prepared with unsaturated grease was still high in overall food fat - with each 930 calorie meal and containing 60 fat of total fat. Nevertheless, the group that has eaten the cooked meal in palm oil (saturated grease) was "less able to detect target stimuli in the attention assessment".

For women who had more severe cases of gut leakage, a syndrome that allows intestinal bacteria to enter the blood - it does not matter, what kind of fat they ate. Women withlively The guts experienced erratic response times, which inhibited their ability to stay attentive during the 10-minute test.

Stephanie Urrutia registered dieticianThe Complete Cancer Center of the University of Ohio and the senior culinary educator forJames instruction cooking Says that eating foods rich in sugar and saturated fats, while few fibers, we often gift ravages about the intestine by causing inflammation. When the intestine becomes inflamed, the tight junctions of the digestive leafy start atto loosen, leaving holes in the intestine.

"These gaps can allow a partially digested diet, toxins and bugs to pass through the junctions and outside the digestive tract that can create various problems," she says.

The particular toxin that hindered the capacity of participants to focus is called endotoxemia. And although the study did not identify what exactly occurred in the brain, the results revealed a potential bond between saturated greases and the gut-brain axis. The study suggests that saturated grease can lead to a fire of the intestine that can then cause inflammation in the brain. The idea is not extremely extracted, seeing that fatty acids can cross the blood-brain barrier.

So, the next time you eat a meal that is enlisted in fat, especially saturated fat, notice whether or not you find harder to focus. The conclusions of this study would say that this done.
