There are foods that would be better to reduce their consumption in the daily diet or perhaps seriously consider excluding them, since several studies have shown the danger they represent for the functioning of the brain and how it can expose it to serious neurological diseases.

Pastries, sweets and soft drinks are among the most dangerous foods. According to a study by the British University of Bath, the amount of sugar in these products damages the vital enzyme involved in the inflammatory response in the early stages of Alzheimer’s.

A study by scientists from the Australian National University explained that these foods “are eating up your brain.” 

Unhealthy eating habits put you at serious risk of developing diseases such as diabetes 2, significant declines in brain function, dementia, and even brain shrinkage.

Spicy foods or spices can also be dangerous. Scientists from the University of South Australia detected in a study that these foods could be related to dementia after accelerated cognitive decline was evidenced in people who ate a spicy diet.
