Mid-life Obesity Signals Late-life Memory & Cognitive Problems
Monday, July 13, 2009 - Byron J Richards, CCNThere is a rather severe price to pay for doing things wrong when you still have a chance. Not only is being overweight an increased risk for cardiovascular problems and cancer, the wear and tear of it all also takes a serious toll on your brain.
The latest study used data from the Swedish Twin Registry and found that individuals who were overweight in the 1960s had a significantly sharper decline in their memory and thinking skills in old age.
Living in the moment has its consequences. Think twice before eating too much or eating junk – or one day you may not be able to think at all.
