Eating too much fatty and sugary food not only swells midriffs and expands waistlines, but also has the reverse effect on cognitive ability and navigation skills, which appear to be diminished by eating unhealthily.
Following “world-first research” involving tests on students, scientists at the University of Sydney in Australia have found high-fat and high-sugar food to have a “detrimental effect on some aspects of cognitive function”, and on spatial awareness and navigation skills in particular.
