According to a study by Australian scientists, the consumption of fast food has a negative impact on brain function, and the first sign of this is memory impairment.
Experts say that in just one week, the negative effects of food from fast food chains can be noticed.
According to experts, the reason for this alarming effect on the human brain are products that contain a large amount of harmful trans fats, which increase the "bad" cholesterol in blood vessels and impede blood circulation.
The brain, which does not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, suffers the most from this.
In addition, a person can easily fall victim to a stroke that is a consequence of high blood pressure.
Researchers have also noticed that stimulants, which are abundant in fast food products, may also be to blame for memory impairment.
Experts recommend that people give up harmful fast food or reduce their intake.
The unhealthy effects of sandwiches and potatoes from fast food chains were also found in children earlier this year.
According to surveys of specialists, children from 6 to 14 years of age suffer more often from asthma, difficulty breathing, eczema or itchy, stuffy nose due to their eating habits.
The results of the survey found that the consumption of fast food leads to a 39% increase in the risk of acute asthma in teenagers and an increase of 27% in young children. It also increases the risk of eczema and acute colds.
On the other hand, eating three or more servings of fruit reduces the severity of symptoms by 11% and 14%, respectively.
Every year Bulgarians spend about half a billion levs in fast food chains.
