Afternoon blahs? Blame lunch Globe_Health
Oily fish such as salmon is high in Omega-3 fatty acid and has anti-inflammatory effects on the brain, keeping cell membranes flexible so memory messages can easily pass between them.If your productivity wanes in the afternoon, consider what you eat for lunch.
Saturated fats are found in animal foods such as meats and fatty dairy products, as well as some plant oils, including coconut oil and palm oil. Unsaturated fats come from vegetables, seeds, nuts, olives and fish. Five hours after eating a test meal, the women took the attention test again. A few weeks later, each participant completed the same protocol but ate the other high-fat meal.
When consumed in excess, saturated fatty acids can cross the blood-brain barrier and interact with brain cells, triggering an inflammatory response that could impair concentration. Bacterial endotoxins that escape from a leaky gut into the bloodstream may also interfere with cognition.The study was conducted in women; it’s not known if the same results would occur in men. The researchers also didn’t assess how long attention was impaired after eating the high-fat meal.
