Fast food literally damages the brain, causing serious malfunctions
Scientists have discovered that consuming fatty and processed foods leads to disturbances in brain function and disables important cognitive processes. The human brain relies on seasonal fats from food to sense the time of year. However, excessive intake of chips, burgers, and sweets disrupts this ability and physically alters the brain at a molecular level, damaging hundreds of genes.

As a result, many people experience constant fatigue and mood deterioration. Researchers emphasize the importance of maintaining a proper balance of fats in the diet for normal brain function. Without changes to eating habits, brain health may continue to decline.
Future research is expected to clarify how to counteract the negative effects of processed food and develop strategies to protect the brain from such damage.
