Overindulgence in sweets can negatively impact brain function and sleep quality, stated neurologist I. Milyukhina.
The doctor referred to a study by Chinese specialists who examined the sleep quality of female employees at a confectionery factory. The results showed that the consumption of sweets significantly reduces the depth of sleep.
According to the neurologist, it is during the deep sleep phase that information is transferred from short-term memory to long-term memory. Disruption of this process worsens attention span and the ability to remember, writes KP.RU.
In addition to sweets, red meat and alcohol also negatively affect brain function, the specialist added.
