According to a new study, consuming fast food (chips, fast-food) for just four days can negatively impact brain functions.

Scientists have determined that excessive fat accumulation leads to a glucose deficiency in the blood, which weakens the connections between neurons and reduces short-term memory and cognitive abilities.

Experts participating in the study emphasize that such changes can be noticeable within just a few days.

Specialists particularly recommend limiting "fast-food" consumption in children and adolescents and incorporating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into their diet.
