To keep your brain function optimal, the right nutritional intake is also very important besides adequate rest and exercise.According to Uma Naidoo, a nutritional psychiatrist and lecturer at Harvard Medical School, the food consumed can affect intestinal bacteria.
“Our intestinal bacteria can trigger metabolic processes and brain inflammation that affect memory. Existing studies indicate, we can reduce the possibility of dementia by avoiding foods that can damage intestinal bacteria and weaken memory and focus,” Naidoo said, as reported by

Foods that can reduce memory
Because it can affect human memory, you need to avoid or reduce the following food consumption to maintain brain health.
1. Fried food
Fried foods are tasty and tempting tastes, but it can have a negative impact on brain function.
A study of more than 18,000 people showed that high diet of fried foods was related to memory scores and low cognitive abilities.
This is probably caused by a high saturated and trans fat content in fried foods.As an alternative, choose how to cook a healthier such as sauteing, baking, steaming, or making soup.
2. Margarine
Margarine and packaged snacks often contain large amounts of trans fats.This trans fat can damage brain function and accelerate decreased memory.

, a study published in the journal Neurology revealed, adults with high trans fat content in the blood have a greater risk of developing dementia.
Therefore, limit margarine consumption and choose a source of healthy fats, such as olive oil or coconut oil.
3. Donuts
Donuts are foods that combine two dangerous things for the brain, namely fried foods and high sugar.Donut consumption can cause double inflammation in the brain that has a negative impact on memory.
In addition, donuts also contain trans fats that are harmful to brain health.Research links high blood sugar levels with an increased risk of dementia, so donuts include foods that need to be avoided to maintain memory.
4. Instant noodles and other processed foods
Instant noodles, chips, candy, and packaged sauce are included in the category of high -processed foods, salt, and unhealthy fats.These foods are usually rich in calories, but are low in important nutrients.
Processed foods can trigger weight gain and have a negative impact on the brain.Therefore, you should limit the consumption of instant noodles and other fast food.
5. Bread and white rice
Processed carbohydrates such as white bread and white rice can cause rapid surge in blood sugar, followed by a drastic decrease in energy.
Research also found that excessive consumption of processed carbohydrates can increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.Instead, choose whole wheat bread, brown rice, or wheat paste that contains complex carbohydrates and fiber.
6. Permen with Sweeteners made by Aspartam
Some ‘sugar-free’ products use artificial sweeteners such as Aspartam.Although safe in small amounts, large amounts of aspartam consumption are associated with behavioral disorders and decreased cognitive function.
A study shows, soft drinks with artificial sweeteners can increase the risk of stroke and dementia.Other studies have found that high consumption of aspartam can increase the level of depression and reduce the performance of mental tests.
Participants consume around 25 mg of Aspartam for every kilogram of body weight for 8 days.At the end of the study, the level of depression of participants was higher and the performance of the mental test was worse.
7. Processed meat

Health
, processed meat, especially red meat, contains harmful substances that can damage brain cells and trigger inflammation.Processed meat consumption every day is associated with an increased risk of dementia and a rapid decline in brain health.
In addition, high levels of sodium in processed meat can reduce blood flow to the brain, thereby worsening brain function and memory.
Instead, reduce the consumption of processed meat and choose a healthier source of protein, such as fish, chicken without skin, or nuts.
