Junk Food Bikin Otak Menyusut Lebih Cepat

Junk food dikenal sebagai jenis makanan yang tinggi kalori tapi tidak ada nilai gizinya. Ternyata
makanan ini tidak hanya bisa memicu penyakit namun juga bisa membuat otak menyusut.

Seseorang yang sering mengonsumsi junk food akan menyebabkan kelebihan berat badan
bahkan hingga obesitas karena tingginya kadar lemak. Dan lemak berlebih ini diketahui bisa
membuat otak jadi menciut.

Junk Food Make Brain Shrinking Faster

Junk food is known as the types of foods that are high in calories but no nutritional value. It
turns out that the food is not only able to trigger the disease, but also can make the brain to
shrink.
Someone who often eat junk food will cause excess weight even up to obesity because of the
high fat content. And excess fat is known can make the brain to be shrinking.

Makanan ini tidak hanya bisa mengubah struktur fisik otak, tapi juga memicu masalah memori
dan peningkatan risiko demensia serta membuat usia bagian abu-abu otak menjadi lebih cepat
tua, yaitu kira-kira 16 tahun lebih cepat.
Daerah abu-abu merupakan bagian berpikir di otak dan terdiri dari sel-sel otak yang terlibat
dalam pengendalian otot, melihat, mendengar, memori, emosi dan berbicara, sedangkan daerah
putih di otak merupakan material yang menghubungkan sel-sel satu sama lain.

Peneliti menemukan bahwa otak dari orang yang kelebihan berat badan dan obesitas rata-rata
memiliki ukuran 4-8 persen lebih kecil dibanding orang yang sehat. Hal ini karena darah tidak
mudah untuk masuk pembuluh darah sehingga sulit mencapai otak yang memicu terjadinya
kekurangan oksigen dan sel-sel otak akhirnya mati.

These foods not only can change the physical structure of the brain, but also lead to memory
problems and increased risk of dementia and make age gray parts of the brain become older
faster, which is roughly 16 years earlier. Gray area is the thinking part of the brain and consists
of brain cells involved in muscle control, seeing, hearing, memory, emotions and speech, while
the white areas in the brain is the material that connects the cells to one another. The researchers
found that the brains of people who are overweight and obese have an average of 4-8 percent
smaller size than healthy people. This is because the blood is not easy to enter the blood vessels
so it is difficult to reach the brain that lead to lack of oxygen and brain cells eventually die.

"Kita tahu bahwa makanan berlemak bisa menyumbat arteri sehingga buruk bagi jantung, dan
kondisi ini juga persis sama dengan yang terjadi di pembuluh darah di otak," ujar Paul
Thompson, profesor neurologi dari University of Los Angeles, seperti dikutip dari Dailymail,
Rabu (25/6/2011).

"We know that fatty foods can clog arteries so bad for the heart, and this condition is also exactly
the same as what happens in the blood vessels in the brain," said Paul Thompson, professor of
neurology at the University of Los Angeles, as quoted by the Daily Mail, Wednesday (25 /
6/2011).

Thompson menuturkan rata-rata orang kehilangan 0,5 persen bagian otaknya dalam waktu
setahun. Tapi bagi orang yang gemuk akan kehilangan 4 persen dari otaknya sehingga ia
mengalami penuaan otak lebih cepat.

Daerah yang mengalami penyusutan ini paling banyak terjadi di bagian penalaran, penilaian dan
pengolahan kenangan jangka panjang. Karenanya kelebihan berat badan bisa mengubah cara
berpikir seseorang.

Sementara itu Dr Toby Goldstone, seorang endokrinologi dari Imperial College Healthcare NHS
Trust menuturkan saat ini pola makan telah berevolusi dengan melihat makanan bergula dan
berlemak sebagai sesuatu yang menarik, dan makanan-makanan ini sangat mudah ditemui.

Untuk itu jika ingin bagian otak Anda tidak mengalami penuaan dan penyusutan lebih cepat,
maka hindari makanan yang mengandung kalori tinggi seperti junk food sehingga aliran darah ke
otak tidak terganggu.
Thompson said that the average person loses 0.5 percent of the brain within a year. But for
people who are obese will lose 4 percent of his brain that he suffered brain aging faster. Areas
that this shrinkage is most prevalent in the reasoning, assessment and treatment of long-term
memories. Therefore overweight can change one's way of thinking. Meanwhile Dr. Toby
Goldstone, an endocrinologist from Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust said current eating
patterns have evolved to look sugary and fatty foods as something interesting, and these foods
are very easy to find. For it if you do not want to part of the brain aging and shrinking faster,
avoid foods that contain high calories like junk food so that blood flow to the brain is
interrupted.
