5 foods that have been damaging your memory unknowingly

4. Sugar

Did your teacher ever tell you to avoid taking sugar during exams? Large amounts of sugar inflame the hippocampus which is the brain’s memory control center. This means that the brain is not able to function normally and you may thus find yourself easily forgetting.

5. Saturated fats

  Saturated fats – should consumed in moderation

A little bit of fats is healthy but the saturated ones found in dairy products and animal proteins could be harmful to your brain. Studies have showed that regular consumption of saturated foods declines the cognitive ability as well as the memory over time.
