Biologist Irina Lyalina spoke about the harmful effects of sugar on brain cells. According to her, sweets are harmful not only to the figure, but also to cognitive functions.

“Although glucose gives a short -term surge in energy, its surplus can lead to sad consequences. Brain cells are significantly damaged, memory worsens, concentration falls, and the risk of dementia increases significantly. Many scientific research confirms the direct connection between the excess of sugar and the deterioration of cognitive functions, ”quotes the acting dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the State University of Education Irina Lyalina Saratov 24.

According to the biologist, refined sugar is of particular danger. It destroys the protective omega-3 acids. But fatty fish and dark chocolate with minimal sugar content will help improve the brain function.
