Low-carbohydrate diets worsen memory

1512d.jpgDiets based on products with low maintenance of carbohydrates help wishing to grow thin. But as it appeared, such kinds of diets are dangerous to one’s intelligence.

Researches of representatives from Boston university allowed to find out that memory of those people, who stick to low-carbohydrate diets, and also refuse consumption of carbohydrates completely, starts being gradually weakened.

Experiment with participation of 19 women at the age of 22-55 years was made.

One part of representatives of the weaker sex followed low-calorie diets within one week , and others - low-carbohydrate.

After 7 days experts spent a number of tests for volunteers’ intelligence. Those ladies who used products with low maintenance of carbohydrates showed much worse results, than others.

These women’s spatial and visual memory weakened, and reaction slowed down.

Scientists explained results of the experiment by the fact that low-carbohydrate diets demand reduction of glucose consumption, which is just necessary for fast brain work and keeping organism toned.
