There is already a link/thought process that there is a mental decline directly following the consumption of a high fat meal among type 2 diabetics.
“Our bottom line is that consuming unhealthy meals for those with diabetes can temporarily further worsen already underlying memory problems associated with the disease,”said lead author Michael Herman Chui, who conducted the research as a University of Toronto pathobiology undergraduate in the Kunin-Lunenfeld Applied Research Unit (KLARU) at Baycrest.
Besides the very obvious solution of not eating poor nutrition or foods you know you should not have- there is the suggestion that taking certain vitamins or anti-oxidants will help keep these mental problems at bay.
